Meet the 2027 Polaris INDY® 200—a youth snowmobile that’s all about big winter smiles in a right-sized package. Dressed in INDY® Red, it looks every bit as bold and ready-to-ride as the bigger sleds, but it’s built with young riders in mind: approachable, confidence-inspiring, and made for learning the ropes while still feeling like the real deal.
Power comes from a Polaris® single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with a 192cc punch and air cooling—simple, dependable, and perfect for cold-weather fun. Fuel it with regular gas, tap the electric start, and it’s ready to go without the drama. A Mikuni carburetor handles the fueling, and the exhaust exits through a single outlet with that crisp, classic snowmobile character.
What makes it especially parent- and learner-friendly is the built-in speed governor and a top speed of 30 mph. That means the INDY® 200 can help new riders build skills at a manageable pace, keeping the day focused on control, confidence, and grins instead of intimidation. The thumb throttle feels natural in a gloved hand, while the CVT transmission and belt drive keep acceleration smooth and easy—no shifting to think about, just point, squeeze, and ride.
Sized for youth riders, it’s compact without feeling toy-like: 84 inches long, 37 inches wide, and 36 inches tall, with a low halogen headlight (tinted) that helps it look sharp and stay visible out on the trail or around the cabin. It carries 2.2 gallons of fuel, enough for plenty of laps, practice runs, and “one more time!” moments. At 214 lbs dry, it’s light on its feet, helped along by an aluminum frame and durable plastic bodywork that’s ready to take on winter use.
Up front, the AWS suspension provides 4.5 inches of travel, using hydraulic twin-tube shocks with coil-over design for a composed feel over bumps and small chop. Out back, 8.5 inches of rear travel and a matching hydraulic twin-tube rear shock help keep the ride comfortable and predictable. The suspension settings are non-adjustable—refreshingly straightforward for a youth sled—so you can spend more time riding and less time fiddling.
Steering is manual through a handlebar setup that keeps things direct and easy to understand as skills grow. The ski stance can be set between 29.5 and 31.5 inches, and the composite skis with carbide skags add reassuring bite when turning on packed snow. Underneath, the Cobra Track measures 93 inches long and 10 inches wide with 1-inch lugs—just right for solid traction and confident forward drive in the kinds of snow conditions where young riders typically start their adventures.
Practical touches round out the experience: skid-resistant running boards help keep boots planted, rubber hand grips feel secure, and protective items like a belt guard and snow guard add peace of mind. The one-piece vinyl seat keeps the riding position simple and comfortable, and the drum rear brake delivers controlled stopping power when it’s time to slow down and line up for the next run.
In INDY® Red, the 2027 INDY® 200 doesn’t just bring youth-friendly sizing—it brings real Polaris attitude to the snow, turning every winter afternoon into a confidence-building, snow-slinging good time.
