Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R PRO-RMK® 155 in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it was built to hunt fresh lines and then tell the story loudly. It’s clean, bold, and purpose-driven, with that “point me at the next ridge” attitude that makes you double-check you didn’t accidentally schedule anything for tomorrow.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot 9R**: a liquid-cooled, **899cc** **2-stroke** twin with **reed valve** induction and **fuel injection**, designed to snap to attention when you thumb the throttle. The layout is a horizontal in-line **2-cylinder**, breathing through a **single exhaust**, sipping **regular fuel**, and handled with a simple, confidence-building **pull start**. Power delivery runs through a **CVT** with a **belt drive** and **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutching—built for that seamless, always-ready feel when the terrain changes from a smooth face to a technical, tree-lined chess match. And yes, it has **reverse**, because sometimes the mountain reminds you who’s in charge.
This PRO-RMK package is all about mountain movement: the lightweight **MATRYX aluminum frame** keeps things responsive, while the bodywork stays practical and durable with **plastic** panels. At a **dry weight of 414 lbs**, it’s eager to dance rather than bulldoze, and the ergonomics are set up for real riding—standing, shifting, and reacting—thanks to the driver-focused layout, **skid-resistant** footing, and a low, one-piece **vinyl** seat that doesn’t get in the way when it’s time to get aggressive.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension delivers **9 inches** of travel with shock-mounted adjustment, pairing precise steering feel with that planted confidence you want when you’re picking a line across chopped snow. The shocks are the real headline here: **Walker Evans Racing (WER®)** adjustable gas shocks with **remote reservoirs** up front, and matching WER® remote-reservoir adjustable shocks in the rear and center. Translation: when conditions go from buttery to bucked-up, you’ve got the control and tunability to keep charging.
Out back, the **PRO-RMK rear suspension** offers a long **16 inches** of travel with **two rear shock absorbers**, ready to soak up landings, roll through whoops, and keep traction when the climb gets serious. And traction is exactly what the **Series 8** track is here for: a **155-inch** long, **15-inch** wide footprint with towering **2.75-inch lugs** that claw for momentum when the snow turns deep and the slope turns rude. It’s a setup that begs for sidehills, technical turns, and that moment when you commit to the climb and refuse to look back.
Steering comes via a **ProTaper™** handlebar with manual control—direct, familiar, and easy to muscle when you’re transitioning from seated cruise to stand-up attack mode. The skis are **Gripper®** plastic with **carbide skags**, giving you bite and predictability when you need to set an edge or hold a line.
Polaris didn’t forget the practical stuff, either: you get **LED** lighting with a **tinted** lens, **heated, adjustable driver grips** for long cold days, and clear gauge warnings for **temperature** and **fuel level** so you’re not guessing when you’re miles from the trailer. Add in details like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**, and it’s obvious this sled was designed for real use, not just showroom glory.
In ****, this 9R PRO-RMK® 155 doesn’t just look ready—it *is* ready. Ready for first track, ready for last light, and ready for the kind of mountain day that starts with a plan and ends with you laughing because the plan never stood a chance.
