Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® KHAOS® 155 in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it was designed to leave the trailhead and immediately start picking fights with steep lines, deep snow, and your “one last lap” self-control.
At its heart is Polaris’ **Patriot 9R** powerplant: a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** with **899cc** of displacement, fed by **fuel injection** (gas / oil injected) and breathing out through a **single exhaust**. It’s a **pull-start** setup that keeps things straightforward, and it’s happy on **regular fuel**, because the real premium here is what happens when the throttle meets the powder. Power delivery runs through a **CVT** with **belt** drive and a **P-22 / TEAM LWT clutch** package, and yes—when you need to back out of that “looked easier from down there” spot, you’ve got **reverse**.
This KHAOS doesn’t just bring horsepower to the mountain—it brings the platform to match. The **MATRYX aluminum frame** is built with the kind of purpose that feels instantly familiar the moment you stand on the boards. The chassis is sized for the job at **126.7 inches long**, **43.4 inches wide**, and **53 inches tall**, with an adjustable ski stance from **36 to 38 inches** so you can dial in how planted (or how playful) you want it to feel. And at a **419 lb dry weight**, it’s eager to respond when the terrain starts asking technical questions.
Up front, the sled rides on an **Independent A-Arm** setup with **RMK® React™** suspension and **9 inches of travel**, controlled by **WER® Velocity adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**. Out back, the **RMK® KHAOS® rear suspension** delivers **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, joined by a **WER® Velocity center shock**, all adjustable and all ready for the kind of terrain that makes your knees write formal complaints. When the descent gets spicy, the **RMK® hydraulic disc rear brake** is there to keep bravery from turning into paperwork.
Point it where you want with **ProTaper™ handlebars** and manual steering, then let the snow do the rest. The **Gripper® skis** (plastic, with **carbide skags**) are made to track when you need precision and slice when you start dancing the sled across a slope. And the real party happens under the tunnel: a **Series 8 track** measuring **155 x 15** with **2.75-inch lugs**—the kind of paddle that’s always looking for the next drift to climb, the next face to sidehill, the next untouched section to claim as yours.
Day-long rides are baked in, too. You’ve got **11 gallons** of fuel capacity for big loops and bigger detours, plus smart touches like **skid-resistant** running boards, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard** for when conditions get rowdy. Comfort and control stay in the foreground with **heated, adjustable driver grips**, a **low-height, tinted LED** lighting setup for visibility when the day runs late, and a clean, single-rider cockpit featuring a **one-piece vinyl seat**.
And because modern mountain riding is equal parts adventure and strategy, it comes with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, along with a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**—so you can focus on picking lines instead of guessing games.
In ****, this 2027 RMK® KHAOS® doesn’t just look the part—it feels like it’s already halfway up the next climb, waiting for you to catch up.
