Wrapped in ****, this **2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SP 155** looks like it was born to disappear into fresh powder—and then reappear on the ridgeline with a little attitude. It’s the kind of mountain sled that doesn’t just point uphill; it *suggests* the mountain move out of the way.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ 840cc** twin: a **liquid-cooled**, **2-stroke**, **horizontal in-line** setup with **reed valves** and **fuel injection**. Translation for your right thumb? Crisp response when you need to pop the front end over a drift, and steady pull when the climb turns long and technical. Hit the button and it wakes up with **electric start**, runs on **regular fuel**, and keeps things clean and consistent with **gas / oil injection**—so you can focus on line choice instead of fuss.
Power delivery stays smooth and mountain-ready thanks to a **CVT transmission** with **belt drive**, paired with a **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. When you’re threading trees or setting up for another sidehill carve, that seamless “always in the right gear” feel is exactly what keeps the ride playful instead of punishing. And when it’s time to back out of a tight spot (because even heroes misjudge a snow pillow now and then), **reverse** is there to save the day.
The chassis is built around the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and responsive while staying impressively manageable at a **432 lb dry weight**. With a **132-inch** overall length and a **low-height** profile, it’s designed to feel intuitive when the terrain gets weird—off-camber, rutted, or deep enough to make you question your life choices (briefly).
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension delivers **9 inches of travel**, using **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks** with **shock-mounted adjustment** to help you dial in feel for the day’s snow. Out back, the **RMK rear suspension** brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **Polaris IFP center shock**, all adjustable—so whether you’re looking for a planted setup on the climb or a more lively feel for quick transitions, you’ve got real tuning range without turning the garage into a science experiment.
And then there’s the business end: a **Series 8 track** measuring **155 x 15** with **2.75-inch lugs**. That’s the kind of footprint that bites into deep snow, builds momentum in soft conditions, and keeps you moving when the mountain turns into a white, bottomless puzzle. Steering comes through a **ProTaper™ handlebar** with a classic **manual** setup—direct, simple, and connected. Add in **Gripper® skis** with **carbide skags**, and the front end stays confident when you’re carving your way into the next turn.
Comfort and practicality aren’t forgotten, either. You get a **one-piece vinyl seat** for a dedicated **single rider** mission, **heated, adjustable driver grips** for long days, and smart touches like a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**. Visibility comes from **LED lighting** with a **tinted** lens, and the details that matter in real snow—**belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** running boards—are all in place.
The result is a mountain sled that feels eager, focused, and ready to play hard. In ****, it doesn’t just look the part—it looks like it’s already picking its next line.
