Dressed in ****, this 2027 Polaris 650 Voyageur® Adventure Ultimate 155 1.6 looks ready to leave the parking lot behind and start writing a fresh set of tracks. It’s the kind of Sport Utility touring sled that feels equally at home cruising a long, groomed ribbon of trail or ducking off to explore the quieter edges of winter—where the snow is untouched and the miles seem to slow down.
At the heart of the ride is the **Patriot™ 650**—a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** built with **fuel injection** and **gas/oil injection**, so it’s quick to respond and happy running on **regular fuel**. The **electric start** makes morning departures simple, while the **pull start** is there when you want that extra layer of confidence out on the route. Power feeds through a **CVT** with **belt drive**, backed by **reverse** for the moments when “adventure” includes turning around in a tight spot or backing up to a trailhead sign for a photo.
From the first squeeze of the **thumb throttle**, this Voyageur has the easygoing manners you want for touring, but it doesn’t feel sleepy. The chassis is built around an **aluminum AXYS® frame**, keeping the sled’s feel purposeful and balanced for long days. And when the trail changes—hardpack one minute, churned-up corners the next—the stance and footprint help it stay composed: a **46.5-inch** width, adjustable ski stance (from **39** to **41 inches**), and a planted, confidence-building posture.
The suspension is all about making distance feel shorter. Up front, the **High Clearence IFS** with **Independent A-Arm** design and **9 inches** of travel helps the sled track cleanly and absorb chatter. Adjustable **Polaris IFP** shocks with coil-over design let you fine-tune feel as conditions evolve. Out back, the **BackTrak15** rear suspension brings **16.5 inches** of travel and **two rear shocks**, with a **Fox® QS3** center shock featuring an adjustable hydraulic setup and **remote reservoir**—a combination that’s ready for everything from smooth cruising to the surprise bump that appears right after a blind crest.
Traction and float come from the **Cobra Track**: **155 inches** long, a broad **20-inch** width, and **1.6-inch** lugs. It’s the sort of setup that helps the sled feel steady when you’re carrying speed, carrying gear, or carrying a passenger—sometimes all three. Up front, **TrailBreaker** skis with **carbide** skags add bite and predictability, helping steering stay trustworthy when the trail is set up firm.
Speaking of passengers: this one is genuinely built to share. The **two-piece seat** accommodates **two**, with a dedicated **passenger backrest**, and **heated grips for both driver and passenger** help keep the good conversation going long after the temperature drops. The windshield is **high** and **folding**, so you can choose coverage for cold, fast miles or fold it down when you want a more open, wind-in-your-helmet feel.
The ride experience gets a modern edge with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation**, turning your cockpit into a connected command center. Add clear **LED lighting** for those late returns, plus practical warnings like a **temperature warning light** and a **fuel level gauge**, and the whole package feels made for riders who like to roam confidently rather than simply “head out.”
And when the day’s plan includes utility, it’s ready: a **receiver rear hitch** is on hand, along with thoughtful protections like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** running boards to keep your footing secure when you’re stepping on and off in deep snow.
In ****, this Voyageur Adventure Ultimate doesn’t just look the part—it’s built for the kind of winter days that start with a destination and end with a story.
