Meet the **2027 Polaris Patriot Boost PRO-RMK® 165** in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it was dipped in adrenaline and sprinkled with fresh powder. It’s built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, so it feels purpose-driven the moment you throw a leg over the **one-piece vinyl seat** and point it toward the nearest steep line. The stance is narrow and ready to dance between trees, and the whole package carries a dry weight of **442 lbs**, which is exactly the kind of number that makes sidehills feel less like a negotiation and more like a confident “yes.”
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ Boost**: an **840cc**, **2-cylinder**, **liquid-cooled**, **turbocharged** **2-stroke** with **reed valves** and **fuel injection**. In plain terms, it’s the kind of powerplant that doesn’t just respond—it *pounces*. The boost helps keep the fun consistent when conditions change, and it all runs on **regular fuel** with **gas/oil injection**, so the focus stays on the ride, not the ritual. A **pull starter** keeps things simple and mountain-practical, while the **CVT transmission** and **belt drive** deliver that smooth, eager surge that makes technical climbs feel achievable and open meadows feel endless. And when the trail gets tight or the parking spot gets awkward, **reverse** is there to save your dignity.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension with **9 inches** of travel keeps the skis tracking when the snow turns choppy. The **Gripper® plastic skis** and **carbide skags** help the front end bite when you need accuracy—whether you’re threading a line through uneven terrain or setting up for the next carve. Steering comes through **ProTaper™ handlebars** with a **thumb throttle**, giving you that direct, mountain-friendly control that feels natural when you’re standing up and moving around on the running boards.
Out back, this sled is unapologetically built to climb. The **PRO-RMK rear suspension** delivers **16 inches** of travel, controlled by **Walker Evans Racing (WER®) adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**—front, rear, and center. That means you can tune the ride to your style and your snow, from playful and poppy to planted and precise. Pair that suspension with the **Series 8 track**—a full **165 inches long**, **15 inches wide**, with **2.75-inch lugs**—and you’ve got serious trench-and-claw capability for deep days, plus the footprint to keep you floating when the mountain is serving up the good stuff.
It’s also thoughtfully equipped for real rides, not just hero shots. You’ve got **RMK® hydraulic disc brakes** for consistent control, **hand guards**, a **belt guard**, a **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** footing where it matters. The low **tinted LED** setup keeps visibility crisp when the light goes flat, and comfort gets a boost with **adjustable heated grips** for the driver—because cold hands are a buzzkill and this sled clearly didn’t show up to be boring.
And when you want the ride to feel as modern as it rides, it delivers: **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® Audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation** bring navigation and connectivity into the mix, backed by gauge-based **fuel level** and **temperature warnings**. With an **11-gallon** fuel capacity, you’ve got the range to explore, re-route, and chase the next untouched pocket without constantly checking the clock.
In ****, this PRO-RMK doesn’t just look the part—it *is* the part: a turbocharged mountain tool engineered to make steep terrain feel like a playground and deep snow feel like an invitation.
