Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R INDY® VR1 Dynamix 137 in ****—a sled that looks fast standing still and feels even faster once the trail opens up. This is a performance-built trail machine with that crisp, ready-to-pounce INDY attitude, wrapped in a color that makes every pull-up to the staging lot feel like a main event.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot 9R**: a liquid-cooled, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line with **reed-valve** induction and **899cc** of motivation. It’s **turbocharged**, **fuel injected**, and starts with the push of an **electric** starter—so the only thing “old school” here is how much fun you’ll have chasing corners. It runs on **regular** fuel and uses **gas / oil injected** fueling, keeping things straightforward when the day’s plan is “ride longer than expected.”
Power delivery is handled by a **CVT** with **belt** drive and a **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup that’s all about translating throttle input into that satisfying, forward-leaping response. And yes, it’s got **reverse**, because sometimes the smartest line is the one you back out of with dignity.
The ride is built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, a platform that’s become known for feeling precise and planted—especially when you’re threading a tight set of corners or setting up for a fast, sweeping bend. Up front, the **independent A-arm** suspension offers **9.5 inches** of travel, while the rear **PRO-CC** suspension brings **16.2 inches** to the party. The real magic comes from the **Fox® Dynamix** shocks at the front, rear, and center—**adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**, with **shock-mounted adjustment** so you can fine-tune feel for the way you ride and the trail you’re on. Coil-over design helps keep things composed when the trail gets chattery and your pace refuses to calm down.
Steering is direct and rider-driven with **manual handlebar** control, anchored by **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** and **carbide** skags for bite when you’re carving your way through packed corners. Out back, the **Cobra Track** measures **137 x 15** with **1.35-inch** lugs—an all-around sweet spot that hooks up when you need it and stays playful when you want it. The chassis proportions—**120 inches** long, **47 inches** wide, and a **42.5-inch** ski stance—strike that “stable but still flickable” balance trail riders crave. With a **dry weight of 507 lbs** and **11.5 gallons** of fuel capacity, it’s ready for big loops and longer grins.
Comfort and control get the same attention as speed. You’ve got a **mid-height tinted LED** setup to keep visibility strong when the light fades, plus **heated, adjustable driver grips** and **hand guards** for cold-day stamina. The **one-piece vinyl seat** keeps things simple and supportive for a solo mission, and there’s **underseat storage** (1.8 gallons) for the essentials you swear you won’t need until you absolutely do.
Tech-wise, it’s ready to be your ride’s command center. **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation** turn the cockpit into a connected hub—while practical alerts like a **temperature warning light** and **fuel level gauge** help keep the fun going without surprises. Add in thoughtful touches like a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** floorboard setup, and you’ve got a sled that feels purpose-built for real riding—because it is.
In ****, this INDY® VR1 doesn’t just show up—it makes an entrance. All that’s left is to pick a direction, squeeze the thumb throttle, and let the trail figure out how to keep up.
