On And Off Trail Versatility
The Switchback Assault is built for riders who crave adventure without limits - delivering confident handling on hardpacked trails and the power to push deep into untouched snow. With crossover capability and rider-first design, it’s your go-anywhere machine for every kind of terrain.
The Perfect Suspension for Your Riding Style
Choose your Switchback Assault experience with two front suspension options. The original, Race Front Suspension is a wider stance and delivers dominant trail comfort and handling with off-trail capability. The proven Escape Front Suspension features a narrower front suspension and RMK components to give you the ultimate off-trail experience.
Pick Your Power
Choose a smooth and efficient 850 Patriot, the lightning-fast response of the Patriot 9R, or the turbocharged, Factory Mod: the Patriot Boost.
Lift. Launch. Carve.
The IGX 146 Rear Suspension features optimized geometry to better control pitch, a tipped rail design allows for easier cornering and acceleration, and a 146" length track offers improved flotation.
Unmatched Crossover Control
The Matryx platform Switchback Assault delivers unmatched control with its rider-first design and decades of suspension innovation. Drawing the best handling characteristics from RMK mountain sleds and INDY trail sleds, it’s engineered to dominate as the ultimate crossover.
Ergonomics
Engineered for precision, the Switchback Assault features rider-first ergonomics that keep you perfectly centered and in command. Its advanced, bonded, aluminum architecture delivers uncompromising strength with minimal weight, razor-sharp agility, and confident performance in every terrain.
Shock Options
Premium Walker Evans Velocity Shocks are designed to absorb the chatter and control the big bumps; 2" body shocks on Race Front Suspension for all-day performance and durability on the trails or 1.75" body shocks on Escape Front Suspension for ultimate off-trail performance.
Rider Position
From tight corners to steep climbs, the stand-up position and streamlined cockpit design keep you agile and ready for anything. This setup feels intuitive, so you can ride harder and explore farther without hesitation.
Tech That Matters
Informed, connected, and in control - all with the push of a button.
7S Display
Plan, track, and share your ride with the 7S Display powered by RIDE COMMAND. The 7" glove-touch display is purpose-built for snowmobiles with GPS navigation with over 380,000 miles of offline trail data, and sled-to-sled Group Ride technology to see your ride group with or without cell coverage.
LED Lighting
The NightBlade Headlight brings advanced lighting to the trails. Six projector beam optics deliver precision lighting with an engineered pattern to deliver exceptional visibility for night riding. The Patriot Boost and Patriot 9R Switchback Assault features additional Sinister Amber Accent lighting.
Smart Warmers
Smart Warmers heat fast and hold your preferred temperature, with separate thumb and hand settings for Polaris-exclusive, customizable comfort.
