Meet the ** 2027 Polaris Patriot Boost RMK® KHAOS® 165**—a brand-new mountain sled that looks like it was built to make powder days feel a little louder, a little lighter, and a lot more “send it.” Dressed in ****, it’s the kind of snowmobile that turns heads at the trailer and then disappears into the trees before anyone finishes saying, “What is that thing?”
At the heart of this KHAOS® is the **Patriot™ Boost**—a **turbocharged**, **840cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** built with **reed valves** and **fuel injection**. It runs on **regular fuel**, with **gas / oil injection**, and it delivers that crisp, instant response that makes technical climbs and quick line changes feel natural. Fire-up is old-school and reliable with a **pull starter**, and when it’s time to back out of a tight spot, **reverse** is ready to save the day (and your dignity).
Power is delivered through a **Continuously Variable (CVT)** transmission, driven by a **belt** system, and managed through a **thumb throttle**. Translation: smooth engagement when you want finesse, and a hard charge when the hill says “prove it.”
This sled is built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and purposeful without feeling like you’re wrestling a tank. With a **dry weight of 447 lbs**, it’s designed to feel responsive when you’re picking your way through technical terrain or hopping from one sidehill to the next. The chassis measures **132 inches long**, **43.4 inches wide**, and **53 inches tall**, with an adjustable ski stance from **36 to 38 inches**—so you can tune the feel for your kind of mountain chaos.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension provides **9 inches of travel**, and out back the **RMK® KHAOS®** rear suspension brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**. The shocks are all **WER® Velocity** units—front, rear, and center—with **adjustable gas shocks and remote reservoirs**, plus **shock-mounted adjustment** to help you dial things in when conditions change from bottomless to bumped-out.
And then there’s the business end: a **Series 8 track** at a full **165 inches** long and **15 inches** wide, with **2.75-inch lugs** that look like they were designed to scoop snow and throw it straight into the “keep climbing” bucket. Point it where you want to go, and let the track do what it was born to do.
Steering comes via **ProTaper™ handlebars** with **manual steering**, and when the day gets cold (because it will), you’ll appreciate the **heated, adjustable driver grips**. The sled keeps things practical, too: **skid-resistant floorboards**, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard**—the little details that make big days feel easier.
For navigation, ride tracking, and connected convenience, you get **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® Audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation**, along with clear gauge-based warnings for **temperature** and **fuel level**. Lighting is **LED**, and the sled wears a **tinted, low windshield** that keeps the look aggressive while still taking the edge off the wind.
From the **Gripper® skis** (with **carbide skags**) to the one-piece **vinyl** seat built for a single rider who’d rather be first up the chute than first back to the truck, this RMK® KHAOS® 165 is a purpose-built mountain machine—sharp, modern, and ready to turn **** into the color everyone remembers when the rooster tails start flying.
