Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot Boost INDY® VR1 137 in ****—a trail-bred performance sled that looks as fast standing still as it feels pinned on a long, empty straightaway. This is the kind of snowmobile that turns “just one more quick rip” into an entire afternoon of laughing inside your helmet and hunting for the next stretch of perfect corduroy, windblown drifts, and sweepers that beg for speed.
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot™ Boost** powerplant: an **840cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **turbocharged** **2-cylinder** **2-stroke** built in a **horizontal in-line** layout with **reed-valve** induction and modern **fuel injection**. The result is that instant, crisp response you want when you roll your thumb into the throttle—especially when you’re dancing between corners and the trail opens up just enough to let the boost do what it was born to do. It fires up with an **electric start**, runs on **regular fuel**, and uses **gas / oil injected** fueling to keep things clean and simple when you’re focused on the ride, not the routine.
Power delivery is handled by a **CVT** setup with a **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutch pairing and **belt** drive. Translation: smooth, quick, and ready to keep the engine right where it wants to live when you’re accelerating out of a corner or carrying speed through a fast section. And when the trail gets tight or the parking lot gets crowded, **reverse** is there—because sometimes the most performance-oriented move is simply not having to push.
The chassis is built around the **MATRYX** platform with an **aluminum frame** and **plastic bodywork**, a combo that’s all about sharp handling and purposeful feel. With a stance set at **42.5 inches**, this VR1 plants itself confidently and tracks with intent—helped by **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** and **carbide** skags that are eager to bite and hold a line when the trail gets choppy or glazed.
Suspension is where this sled really shows its trail-performance attitude. Up front, the **independent A-arm** setup delivers **9.5 inches** of travel, backed by **Walker Evans Racing (WER®) adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and shock-mounted adjustment. Out back, the **PRO-CC** rear suspension brings **16.2 inches** of travel, with **two rear shocks** plus a matching WER® center shock—again, adjustable, remote-reservoir, and ready to be dialed for your kind of riding. Whether you’re skimming over stutter bumps or loading it up into a corner, it’s built to stay composed and keep you in control.
The **Cobra Track** is a sweet spot for the “137” crowd: **137 inches** long, **15 inches** wide, with **1.352-inch lugs**—enough footprint to hook up and drive without feeling like you brought a freight train to a slalom course. The sled’s proportions—**120 inches** long, **47 inches** wide, and **46 inches** tall—pair nicely with its performance mission, and at a **dry weight of 521 lbs**, it feels substantial in a confidence-inspiring way without giving up that quick, athletic response you want from a VR1.
Stopping power comes from a **Matryx Stealth** brake with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake—strong, predictable, and made for real-world trail pace where control matters as much as speed.
Inside the cockpit, it’s all about staying comfortable and connected. You get a mid-height, **tinted LED** setup up front, **heated grips** for the driver, and **hand guards** to keep the wind off when the temperature drops. There’s **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation**, plus clear warnings and readouts like a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**. Practical touches—like **1.8 gallons of underseat storage**, a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** running boards—round out the experience so you can focus on the next corner, the next straight, and the next excuse to keep riding.
In ****, this INDY® VR1 137 doesn’t just show up—it shows off, then backs it up with boost-fed trail performance that makes every ride feel like the main event.
