Meet the ** 2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SPS 165 7S**—a mountain snowmobile that looks as bold as it rides. Finished in ****, it brings that clean, ready-for-anything vibe Polaris fans love, while still standing out in a world where “all business” usually means “all the same.” (And if you’re the type who likes options, this model is also offered in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**.)
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot™ 840**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** built in a **horizontal in-line** layout with **reed valve** breathing. It’s **fuel injected** (gas / oil injected) and happy on **regular fuel**, so the focus stays on the climb ahead instead of the checklist in your pocket. When you’re ready to bring it to life, it keeps things refreshingly simple with a **pull start**, then delivers power through a **CVT** with **belt drive** and a **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. Add **reverse**, and tight spots in the trees or awkward turnarounds feel a whole lot less dramatic.
This RMK® SPS is built around the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and purposeful for mountain riding, with a **dry weight of 430 lbs**. The cockpit is all rider-focused—**one seat**, **one-piece vinyl**, low height—paired with **rubber hand grips** and **driver heated grips** that are **adjustable**, because cold hands have a way of ruining good decisions. The **skid-resistant** running boards help you stay planted when you’re shifting around to set an edge or correct a line.
Up front, the sled runs an **independent A-arm** setup with **RMK® React™** suspension and **9 inches of travel**, tuned through **shock-mounted adjustment**. The shocks are **Polaris IFP adjustable gas IFP** units with **coil-over** design, giving you the ability to dial feel without turning the ride into a science project. Out back, the **RMK rear suspension** brings **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **Polaris IFP center shock**—all adjustable gas IFP, all aimed at keeping the sled composed when the terrain stops being polite.
And then there’s the part mountain riders talk about most: track and traction. The **Series 8** track stretches a full **165 inches** long and **15 inches** wide, with an aggressive **2.75-inch lug height**—the kind of footprint that’s made to bite, claw, and keep moving when the snow turns deep and the line turns steep. Steering comes through **ProTaper™** handlebars with **manual steering**, and the stance can be set from **36 to 38 inches**—a simple range that lets you choose between nimble and planted depending on your style and terrain. Up front, **Gripper®** skis with **carbide skags** help keep the plan honest when sidehilling or threading through technical sections.
When it’s time to rein things in, you’ve got **RMK® hydraulic disc** braking in the rear. On the information side, it’s equipped with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus the practical stuff you actually use: a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**. Lighting is **LED** with a **tinted** lens for a sharp, modern look that fits the finish perfectly. And with **11 gallons** of fuel capacity, you’ve got room for real rides—not just parking-lot victory laps.
Bottom line: this **** 850 RMK® SPS 165 7S feels like it was built for riders who want their mountain sled to be light on its feet, tough in the essentials, and relentlessly eager to chase the next untouched line.
