CROSSOVER PERFORMANCE. ANYWHERE VERSATILITY.

The Switchback XC gives you on-trail handling and flotation and traction in deeper snow.

CAPABILITY FOR WHEREVER YOU RIDE.
When the ride goes from the groomed trail to the singletrack, then the frozen swamp to the meadow, the versatility of a Switchback sled can't be beat.
Rider First Design. Effortless Control.
The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondocker's dream. The narrow cockpit provides improved rider connection to the sled. Helping you move around the sled in deep snow for balance or on-trail for precision.
Float. Fly. And Carve The Corners.
The IGX 146 Rear Suspension features optimized geometry to better control pitch. Tipped rail design allows for easier cornering and acceleration while the 146" length offers improved flotation.
Proven Patriot Power.
Choose a smooth and powerful 650 Patriot, or the benchmark in performance 850 Patriot.
PURPOSE-BUILT HANDLING ON AND OFF TRAIL
When we build a sled, we build it to be the best sled for a unique riding style. Not simply a different sticker or name. Every part is scrutinized to deliver what you need as a rider.
Effortless Control
The Matryx platform Switchback XC features a rider-first design and decades of suspension development pulling the best attributes from RMK mountain sleds and INDY trail sleds to create the best handling crossover sled on snow.
INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Polaris sleds lead the way in technology that enhances your ride. Technology built to help you plan rides, track your group, keep your hands warm on the ride and see your way from dusk til dawn.
