Designed for extreme performance riders that need to dominate tough terrain at high speeds. The lightweight yet strong AXYS® chassis paired with the race-ready components of the Switchback® XCR® deliver extreme performance.
By placing the rider in the right location on the sled, we've built a sled that corners flat without sacrificing the fun factor of lifting the front end through the bumps or powder. More precise handling both on- and off-trail.
When developing the AXYS® platform, our engineers minimized weight throughout the sled without compromising strength. Combined with powerful engines and class-leading power-to-weight ratios, the Switchback® XCR® gives you the best go-anywhere versatility.
With ergonomic controls, integrated storage, enhanced wind protection, and industry-first LED headlights and gauge packages, comfort is woven directly into the AXYS® platform's design.
The AXYS® chassis design is the key to delivering rider balanced control through the right rider positioning and centralized vehicle mass. The rider's hand position is moved 4.5" forward, the feet position is 2" forward, the knee position is 4.5" forward, and the seat is 4.5" forward. This means more bite for flatter cornering when in the neutral riding position and a lighter front end for climbing on top of the snow or the moguls when the rider shifts to the back of the sled.
The PRO-XC® progressive-rate rear suspension is optimized for the best performance and control. Through innovative Polaris® engineering, the suspension is both lighter and stronger. The front torque arm is rearward to control pitch, increase travel, and improve the rail profile. To increase durability and strength for extreme performance, the Switchback® XCR® features additional race-inspired components including: Chromoly Rear Pivot, FTS Mount, Solid Jackshaft, Chromoly Front Torque Arm, Reinforced Rail Beams, Solid Bogie Wheels, and IQR Rear Axle Wheels.
The PRO-XC® suspension delivers Active Pitch™ Control which controls the pitch by suspension geometry and not simply by a high spring rate. This makes the sled less sensitive to adjustment while allowing optimal weight transfer.
Delivers outstanding performance and unparalleled durability. The race rotor provides increased surface area that effectively absorbs heat from brake pads for more consistent performance and even pad wear. Brake Scoop offers increased cooling while the Type 81 Brake Pads withstand higher temperatures associated with higher speeds.
The SnowCheck-Exclusive 850 Switchback® XCR® - powered by the all-new Polaris® 850 Patriot™ engine - is for extreme performance riders that need to dominate tough terrain at high speeds. Its lightweight yet strong AXYS® chassis paired with race-ready components like reinforced rail beams and race braking system deliver extreme performance.
