2021 Polaris Switchback® XCR® 850
Rider Balanced Control
By placing the rider in the right location on the sled, we've built a sled that corners flat without sacrificing the fun factor of lifting the front end through the bumps or powder. More precise handling both on- and off-trail.
Unrivaled Acceleration
When developing the AXYS platform, our engineers minimized weight throughout the sled without compromising strength. Combined with powerful engines and class-leading power-to-weight ratios, the Switchback XCR gives you the best go-anywhere versatility.
Rider-Centric Comfort
With ergonomic controls, integrated storage, enhanced wind protection, and industry-first LED headlights and gauge packages, comfort is woven directly into the AXYS platform's design.
850 Patriot
The 850 Patriot, designed for class-leading durability, responsiveness, unrivaled acceleration and industry's best power-to-weight. The most powerful snowmobile engine ever built by Polaris, made with pride in the USA.
