RMK – All-New SnowCheck Exclusive QuickDrive2 Drive
System
The world’s best mountain sled lineup continues to raise the bar
in 2021 with the all-new, SnowCheck-exclusive, QuickDrive2 (QD2) —a
lightweight drive system. QuickDrive2 features a low-inertia design
and 10% gearing reduction—resulting in reduced rider effort, an
even quicker response and instantaneous lift.
Working in tandem with QuickDrive2 is a new Series 8 track
available in 155” and 165” lengths. With a flex-optimized design
and improved lug stiffness, the new Series 8 track delivers
instantaneous lift, superior traction and optimum flotation for all
types of mountain riding.
An expanded RMK Khaos lineup for 2021 will harness these new,
exclusive technologies. In addition to the new QuickDrive2 and
Series 8 track combinations, SnowCheck customers can also choose an
all-new powder dominating RMK Khaos 163 with QuickDrive2 and Series
7 track with 3” lugs.
Not to be outdone, the king of the mountain PRO-RMK series will
also be available with the low-inertia QuickDrive2 Drive System in
both 2.75” and 3” lug configurations with track lengths up to 174”.
Adding more performance across the entire RMK family is the
expanded availability of 850 Patriot power in-season; SnowCheck
available factory installed low-elevation clutching calibration;
the return of the RMK EVO, designed for new riders; and the
ultimate deep snow crossover SKS models.
New 650 Patriot Engine – Designed for Outstanding Durability,
Unrivaled Efficiency and Exceptional Performance
After shocking the industry with the 850 Patriot, the most
powerful snowmobile engine Polaris has ever built, the all-new 650
Patriot will do it again in 2021. Purpose-built to provide
unparalleled durability, the new 650 Patriot delivers up to 60%
improved fuel efficiency*, 10% more power* and 14%* more torque
when compared to the Liberty 600. This powerful combination has the
new 650 Patriot destined to become the undisputed king of the
600-class.
New Indy VR1 and Switchback Assault 146 - A New Dimension in
Dominating Performance
For more than 65 years Polaris has defined and redefined the
sport of snowmobiling through unprecedented innovation. This
relentless pursuit continues with the introduction of the all new

rider-first, SnowCheck-exclusive Matryx platform—they unlock an
entirely new dimension of effortless rider control. The dominating
trail performance of Indy VR1 combines ferocious acceleration,
effortless control and intelligent technology. The Switchback
Assault 146 is the ultimate 50/50 crossover delivering pure
dominance on-trail and off.
The Indy VR1 and Switchback Assault 146 introduce a new level of
intelligent technology surrounding the rider. The Indy VR1 and
Switchback Assault 146 will boast the industry’s first 7”
interactive, touch-screen display. The new 7S Display is equipped
with exclusive Polaris Ride Command Technology and integrates an
entirely new level of intuitive, touch-screen control and
customization options featuring Ride Command mapping, Group Ride
tracking and Bluetooth connectivity.
Both the SnowCheck exclusive Indy VR1 and Switchback Assault 146
will feature industry-first SmartWarmers - thermostatically
controlled hand and thumb warmers. SmartWarmers utilizes
temperature sensing technology to ensure a consistent, customized
flow of heat regardless of ambient temperature. Joining this
breakthrough technology is an all-new NightBlade projector beam LED
headlight with automotive intensity and all-new Lock & Ride
FLEX accessory integration.
To ensure this level of dominating trail performance and
effortless control isn’t limited to just SnowCheck customers, the
all-new Indy XC Launch Edition will be available in extremely
limited quantities in-season. With both 850 Patriot and 650 Patriot
power on tap, the Indy Launch Edition will feature the Polaris
Message Center gauge package.
Titan – Most Capable Crossover Now Smoother and
Quieter
Polaris’ Titan model is the ultimate high-performance, do-it-all
snowmobile for work or play. For model-year 2021, Titan introduces
further refinement to the sled’s already inspiring capability with
a new, quieter track design and new driveshaft with improved
driveline for reduced vibration, quieter operation and increased
efficiency for a truly refined riding experience.

the iconic Indy XC; delivers all-day comfort and convenience with
the Indy Adventure; employs proven performance with Indy SP; offers

riders looking for premium big-bump performance and a race-proven
pedigree, Switchback XCR delivers. Those preferring a smooth riding
experience will covet the incredibly refined ride quality of
