2027 POLARIS PATRIOT 9R SWITCHBACK ASSAULT 146 RACE - GLOSS BLACK
AGGRESSIVE TRAIL PERFORMANCE. CROSSOVER VERSATILITY.
The 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R Switchback Assault 146 Race is built for riders who want aggressive trail performance with the flexibility to venture beyond the groomed trail. Its Patriot 9R engine provides responsive power, while the Matryx platform and Race front suspension are designed for controlled handling when the pace picks up.
The 146" chassis adds flotation and stability in softer snow, while the 1.35" Cobra track keeps this configuration well suited to riders who spend the majority of their time on the trail.
With electric start, 7S RIDE COMMAND, Smart Warmers and PERC reverse, the Switchback Assault combines performance-focused hardware with useful equipment for full days on the snow.
WHY BUY THE PATRIOT 9R SWITCHBACK ASSAULT 146 RACE?
The Race configuration is aimed at riders who put a premium on aggressive handling and suspension performance. The wider Race front suspension gives the sled a planted feel on the trail, while the WER 2" Velocity shocks provide increased suspension control when riding hard.
The 146" chassis adds crossover versatility without requiring the deeper-snow-oriented 2.0" track. The 1.35" Cobra provides a balanced setup for riders who want strong trail performance with the ability to explore softer snow when conditions allow.
POWER & DRIVETRAIN
The Patriot 9R is an 899cc, 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine using Cleanfire Injection and Patriot 3DS ignition. The powertrain is paired with P-22 / TEAM LWT clutching and a chaincase drive system.

RACE SUSPENSION & 1.35 COBRA TRACK
