Carve your own line into the backcountry on this **2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 155 7S**—a purpose-built mountain sled that feels like it was born for steep faces, quick sidehills, and that split-second throttle blip that turns a “maybe” into a clean climb.
This one looks as sharp as it rides in ****, a color that suits the MATRYX aluminum chassis and its lean, low-slung attitude. It’s the kind of sled that looks ready while it’s sitting still—and once you’re on the throttle, it proves it.
At the heart of it all is the **Patriot 9R**: an **899cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** built in a horizontal in-line layout with **reed-valve** breathing. It’s **fuel injected** (gas/oil injected) and happy on **regular fuel**, so you can focus on finding the next untouched pocket instead of overthinking what goes in the tank. Starting is classic and simple with a **pull start**, and power is fed through a **CVT** with **belt drive**, managed by a **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. When the terrain gets tight or the line ends in trees, you’ve got **reverse** to help you reset without turning the situation into a wrestling match.
Polaris built this RMK to feel precise in real mountain riding dimensions: about **126.7 inches long**, **43.4 inches wide**, and **53 inches tall**, with an adjustable ski stance from **36 to 38 inches** to tune how planted (or how nimble) you want it to feel. And at a **dry weight of 423 lb.**, it stays responsive when you’re working the sled—especially when the snow turns deep and the hill starts asking questions.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension delivers **9 inches of travel**, backed by **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and **shock-mounted adjustment**. Out back, the **RMK rear suspension** brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a matching **IFP center shock**, all adjustable with remote reservoirs—so you can dial it for changing snow, changing speed, or changing confidence.
The business end is the **Series 8 track**: **155 inches long**, **15 inches wide**, with a serious **2.75-inch lug** profile that’s ready to dig, paddle, and keep pushing when the pitch steepens. Steering comes through **ProTaper™ handlebars** with a **thumb throttle**, while **Gripper® skis** (plastic) and **carbide skags** help it hold a line when you need accuracy, not surprises. Add in practical mountain-minded protection like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**, plus **skid-resistant** running boards, and the whole package feels built for riders who actually get into it—not just talk about it.
You’ll appreciate the day-to-day details too: a **one-piece vinyl seat**, **LED lighting** with a **tinted** lens and **low height** profile, and **heated, adjustable driver hand grips** for those long, cold pulls back to the trailer. And when you want your ride info front and center, **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS** is on board, along with a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**.
In ****, this Patriot 9R RMK SPS 155 doesn’t just look mountain-ready—it’s set up to make the climb feel like the easy part, so you can spend more time enjoying the drop, the carve, and the next “let’s see what’s over there.”
