Dressed in ****, the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 155 looks like it was built for one purpose: disappearing into the trees, popping out on the next ridge, and making your buddies wonder how you got there first. It’s a mountain sled with a sharp, purposeful vibe—clean lines, aggressive stance, and that “let’s go find untouched snow” energy every time you walk up to it.
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot 9R**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line that brings **899cc** of eager attitude to the party. It’s **fuel injected** (gas / oil injected) and happy on **regular fuel**, so it’s ready for long days without being picky. The pull start keeps things simple and backcountry-friendly, and when it’s time to move, the **CVT transmission** with **belt drive** delivers that smooth, instant response mountain riders crave. Add **reverse**, and suddenly those tight, “maybe this was a bad idea” parking spots in deep snow become a lot less dramatic.
This RMK® SPS 155 sits on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and purpose-built while staying impressively light on its feet. With a **dry weight of 421 lbs**, it’s the kind of sled that feels willing—easy to place, quick to react, and eager to follow your lead when the terrain turns technical. The stance is adjustable too, with a **36" to 38" ski stance**, so you can tune the feel depending on whether you’re threading trees or sidehilling across an open face.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm suspension** offers **9 inches of travel**, backed by **WER® Velocity adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**. Out back, the **RMK® KHAOS® rear suspension** brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **WER® Velocity center shock**—all adjustable, all ready to help you keep momentum when the snow gets chopped up or the climb gets steep. And when you need to scrub speed, the **RMK® hydraulic disc brake** is there with consistent control.
The business end is exactly what you want for deep snow exploring: a **Series 8 track** measuring **155" long** and **15" wide**, with a towering **2.75" lug height**. That’s the kind of setup that begs for fresh powder and rewards throttle confidence—hooking up, driving forward, and letting you stay on top when the snow turns bottomless. The **Gripper® skis** up front pair with **carbide skags** to keep the steering precise when conditions firm up, and the whole package is guided by **ProTaper™ handlebars** for a direct, connected feel.
Comfort and usability aren’t forgotten, either. You get a **one-piece vinyl seat**, a **low tinted LED** setup for clean visibility, and practical warnings like a **temperature light** and a **fuel gauge**—handy when you’re chasing lines far from the trailer. The **heated, adjustable driver grips** keep your hands happy when the day starts cold and ends later than planned. Details like the **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** running boards round out the ride with the kind of thoughtful touches you appreciate most when you’re miles in.
In short: this **** 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 155 is a mountain machine with a playful streak—built to carve, climb, and turn ordinary weekends into stories worth retelling. (And if you ever decide you want a different look, it’s also available in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**.)
