Meet the ** 2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SPS 146**—a mountain sled that looks as sharp standing still as it feels the moment you squeeze the thumb throttle. Finished in ****, it carries that clean, purpose-built vibe Polaris is known for, with a modern edge that fits right in whether you’re loading up at dawn or dropping into your favorite line when the light turns flat and the snow turns deep. (And if you’re the type who likes options, this model is also offered in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**.)
At the heart of this RMK is the **Patriot™ 840**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** built for riders who measure a day by how many times they point uphill. With **fuel injection** and **oil injection**, it’s ready to run on **regular fuel** and deliver crisp response when you want to pop over a roll, feather through trees, or commit to a climb. The **reed-valve** intake and **single exhaust** keep the personality classic RMK—snappy, lively, and eager—while the **CVT transmission** and **belt drive** work in the background to keep power feeling smooth and usable when terrain turns technical. And yes, when it’s time to get turned around on a tight shelf or at the bottom of a chute, it’s got **reverse** to make the “now what?” moments a lot shorter.
The feel starts with the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things light and responsive—this sled comes in at a **dry weight of 423 lb**—and it’s packaged in mountain-friendly proportions: **122.8 in** long, **43.4 in** wide, and a **low** tinted **LED** setup up front that keeps the look aggressive while helping you see and be seen. You get an adjustable ski stance from **36 to 38 inches**, letting you tune how planted (or how quick) the front end feels depending on your snow, your speed, and your style.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm suspension** delivers **9 inches of travel**, backed by **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and shock-mounted adjustment—so you can set it up for your kind of day, whether that’s playful and poppy or composed and controlled. Out back, the RMK rear suspension brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks** plus a **center shock**, all **Polaris IFP** and all built to take the sting out of hard landings and endless chatter while still staying predictable when you’re sidehilling and managing traction.
And traction is the whole point, right? The **Series 6 track** is a sweet spot for mountain riders who want agility without giving up bite: **146 inches** long, **15 inches** wide, and a serious **2.6-inch lug** to claw for elevation and keep momentum when the snow gets deep and the slope gets honest.
The cockpit keeps things simple and rider-focused. A **one-piece vinyl seat** and a **single-rider** layout put you in command, with **ProTaper™ handlebars** in your hands, **heated adjustable grips** to keep the ride going when the temps drop, and practical touches like a **fuel gauge** and a **temperature warning light**. Details like the **belt guard**, **hand guards**, **snow guard**, **tunnel braces**, and **skid-resistant** running boards underline what this sled is: a purpose-built mountain tool that’s happy to play, but absolutely ready to work.
If you’re looking for a mountain sled that feels light on its feet, responds instantly, and wears **** like it was born for fresh snow and steep lines, the 850 RMK® SPS 146 is ready for your next excuse to head higher.
