Wrapped in **** attitude, the 2027 Polaris 650 Voyageur® SP 146 is the kind of sport-utility sled that makes winter feel less like a season and more like an excuse. It looks sharp sitting still, but it really shines once you point it toward fresh snow and let it do what it was built for: go exploring, go working, and still have a blast doing both. (And if you’re shopping the palette, this model is also offered in **White Lightning / Gloss Black / Orange Burst**—but this one wears **** like it owns the trail.)
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ 650**—a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** horizontal in-line engine with **oil injection** and **fuel injection**, so it’s ready to fire and run cleanly on **regular gas** without any mixing drama. Hit the **electric start**, settle your thumb onto the **thumb throttle**, and let the **CVT** do the smooth, easy work of keeping power on tap. When the trail gets tight or the parking spot is awkward, **reverse** is there to keep the maneuvering stress-free.
This Voyageur SP is built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong without feeling bulky. It’s a comfortable, confident size for real-world riding—about **125 inches long**, **47 inches wide**, and standing **54.5 inches** tall—balanced in a way that feels predictable when you’re cruising or picking your line through changing snow. With an **adjustable ski stance (39 to 41 inches)**, you can tailor the feel to match your terrain and riding style.
Out front, the **independent A-arm** suspension with **Voyageur Adjustable** setup and **9.5 inches of travel** helps keep the ride composed when the trail turns choppy. The **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks** (with coil-over up front) give you the ability to dial things in rather than just tolerate whatever the day throws at you. In back, the **IGX** rear suspension delivers **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks** plus a **center shock**, all **Polaris IFP adjustable gas**—so whether you’re cruising packed trail, drifting through softer sections, or hauling the day’s plan behind you, the sled stays planted and controlled.
And yes—this machine is ready for utility duty. The **rear rack rails** make it easy to gear up, and the **receiver-style rear hitch** is there when you’ve got something to tow. Underneath, the single **Cobra Track** (a **146-inch** length, **15-inch** width) with **1.6-inch lugs** is a great match for a sled that wants to bridge two worlds: float and bite when the snow gets deeper, but still track confidently when you’re racking up miles.
Stopping power comes from the **Matryx Stealth** brake system with a **hydraulic rear disc**, delivering consistent control when you roll off the throttle and need to set the pace. Up front, **Gripper® composite skis** with **carbide skags** help the sled steer with purpose, guided through the bars by **manual handlebar steering** that keeps you connected to the trail.
Comfort and visibility aren’t afterthoughts, either. You get a **high LED** light to cut into early sunsets and snowy haze, plus **heated, adjustable driver grips** to keep your hands happy when the temperature drops. There’s a **fuel gauge** to keep range worries in check, and a **temperature warning light** to keep you informed when conditions change. Add in practical touches like a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** running boards, and you’ve got a sled that’s prepared for long days and real use.
The result is a one-seat, one-purpose-in-winter machine: a fun-loving utility sled in **** that’s ready to roam farther, work smarter, and make every cold day feel like the right decision.
