Meet the ** 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 165 7S**—a mountain sled that looks every bit as bold as it feels. Finished in ****, it has that clean, ready-to-climb presence that stands out at the trailer and still looks right when it’s dusted in fresh powder at the top of the next ridgeline.
At the heart of it all is the **Patriot 9R**: a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** built in a **horizontal in-line** layout with **reed valves** and **fuel injection** (gas/oil injected), designed to respond instantly when the terrain stops being polite. Displacing **899cc**, it’s the kind of motor that makes a quick thumb of the throttle feel like a plan—whether you’re picking through technical trees or rolling into an open face with a little extra confidence. Starting is classic and simple with a **pull start**, and it runs on **regular fuel**, because mountain days are complicated enough.
Power delivery stays smooth and purposeful thanks to a **continuously variable (CVT) transmission** with **belt drive**, paired with a **P-22 / TEAM LWT clutch** setup. And when you need to reset your line or back out of a tight spot, **reverse** is there—because sometimes the smart move is the one that keeps your momentum (and your energy) for the next climb.
This RMK is built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and light where it matters, with **skid-resistant** running boards underfoot and practical protection like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**. The cockpit is focused and comfortable: a **one-piece vinyl seat** for a single rider, **rubber grips**, and **heated, adjustable driver handgrips** for those long, cold pulls when the mountain decides to remind you who’s in charge.
Up front, the sled rides on **Gripper® skis** with **carbide skags**, guided by **ProTaper™ handlebars** and a manual steering setup that keeps the connection between rider and snow direct and predictable. The stance adjusts from **36 to 38 inches**, letting you dial in feel for the conditions and your riding style.
Suspension is where this mountain machine really earns its keep. The front end uses an **independent A-arm** layout with **RMK® React™** components and **9 inches of travel**, tuned through **shock-mounted adjustment**. The shocks are **WER® Velocity adjustable gas units with remote reservoirs**, and yes—**coil-over** up front for controlled tracking when the snow turns uneven. Out back, the **RMK® KHAOS® rear suspension** brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **WER® Velocity center shock**, all adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs. Translation: when the terrain gets chaotic, the ride stays composed and ready.
Stopping power comes via **RMK® hydraulic disc brakes**, and visibility is handled with **LED lighting** (tinted) in a **low-height** setup that fits the sled’s aggressive, mountain-first stance.
And then there’s the business end—the track. A **Series 8** track at **165 inches long** and **15 inches wide**, with a towering **2.75-inch lug**, is built to bite, lift, and keep you moving when the snow is deep and the line is steep. With an **11-gallon** fuel capacity, you’ve got room for real rides—not just quick laps—while the sled’s **428 lb dry weight** keeps it feeling lively when you’re working sidehills or snapping into a new direction.
To top it off, it comes with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus clear-at-a-glance alerts like a **temperature warning light** and a **fuel level gauge**, so you can focus on the mountain instead of guessing what’s going on under the hood.
In ****, this 2027 RMK® SPS isn’t just a snowmobile—it’s your invitation to point uphill, pick a line, and make winter feel like your playground.
