Carve up your favorite trail system in a ** 2027 Polaris 850 INDY® XC® 137 7S** that looks as quick as it feels. Dressed in ****, this sled brings a clean, modern attitude to every parking-lot lineup—and once you tip it into the first corner, the color becomes your calling card as it disappears down the next straight.
At the heart of the fun is Polaris’ **Patriot™ 840cc** liquid-cooled, **2-cylinder, 2-stroke** powerplant. It’s a **fuel-injected** setup with **reed-valve** breathing, designed to snap to attention when you roll your thumb on the throttle, then keep pulling with that eager, trail-hungry character riders love. Hit the key and go—**electric start** makes getting underway easy, and it’s happy on **regular fuel** thanks to its **gas / oil injected** system. Power routes through a **CVT** with **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutching and belt drive, delivering smooth engagement when you’re cruising and quick response when the trail opens up. Need to back out of a tight spot at the cabin or trailer? **Reverse** is ready.
The ride feel is all about confidence and control. Built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, this INDY XC balances strength with a focused, rider-forward layout. At **120 inches** long and **47 inches** wide, it’s sized to feel planted on hardpack while still staying lively when the trail gets tight and technical. The stance sits at **42.5 inches**, matched to **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** with **carbide** skags for that precise bite when you’re threading corners or holding a line across a windblown section.
Up front, the **independent A-arm** suspension brings **9.5 inches** of travel, and the ride can be tuned on the fly with **Fox® QS3 adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**—coil-over, shock-mounted adjustment, and built to handle everything from fresh morning corduroy to afternoon chop. Out back, the **PRO-CC** rear suspension delivers a generous **16.2 inches** of travel with **two rear shocks**, plus a matching **Fox® QS3** center shock—also adjustable with remote reservoirs—so you can dial the sled for your pace, your trails, and your loadout.
Traction and forward drive come from the **Cobra Track**—a **137-inch** by **15-inch** track with **1.35-inch lugs** that hooks up when you drive out of corners and stays composed when the trail turns rough. And when it’s time to scrub speed, the **Matryx Stealth** braking system with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake offers strong, controlled stopping power that feels predictable when you’re carrying momentum.
Long days are part of the INDY XC mission, and the creature comforts are set up for real miles. The **mid-height tinted windshield** helps knock down wind, while **heated, adjustable driver hand grips** keep your hands in the game when the temps drop. You’ve got smart protection in the details too—**hand guards**, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard**—plus **skid-resistant** running boards to keep your footing secure when you’re moving around on the sled.
Tech-wise, Polaris brings the trail into the modern era with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, paired with clear rider alerts like a **temperature warning light** and a **fuel level gauge**. And at **499 lbs dry** with an **11.5-gallon** fuel capacity, this INDY XC is built to cover ground—whether your idea of a perfect ride is a smooth, fast loop or a full-day tour that turns into “just one more” until the sun drops.
Also available in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**, this one—finished in ****—is ready to make every trailhead feel like a starting line.
