2021 Polaris® 850 Switchback Assault 144

2021 Polaris® 850 Switchback Assault 144

Features may include:

• Rider Balanced Control

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.

• AXYS Chassis

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.

• IGX 144 Rear Suspension

The IGX 144 rear suspension offers the ultimate blend of durability and strength. Pitch is controlled through geometry and with 43% more front torque arm travel, this sled features reduced bottoming and less drag off-trail. An optimized, lighter, reinforced tipped rail beam design gives the sled a nimble feel.

• PowderTrac® Running Boards

The PowderTrac® Running Boards offer an optimized design with 56% open space for maximum snow clean out while maintaining extreme strength. Perfect for on- and off-trail riding.

• Unrivaled Acceleration

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 Assault gives you the best go-anywhere versatility.

• Lightweight Design

When developing the AXYS platform, our engineers minimized weight throughout the sled without compromising strength or durability.

• Liberty Engine Choices for Every Rider

Built to integrate seamlessly with the lightweight and agile Polaris chassis, Liberty engines feature class-leading power-to-weight ratios and set a new benchmark for ultimate performance with our complete line-up of powerful options.

• Rider-Centric Comfort

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.

• AXYS Performance Seat

The high-performance seat foam and narrow front design of the AXYS Performance seat delivers greater maneuverability. It's lighter without compromising comfort, offers improved ergonomics and stability, and its gripper top material helps keep the rider in place.

• Polaris MessageCenter Gauge

Keeps a rider aware of sled operating conditions and other important information. Large buttons can be operated with gloved hands and the brightly lit display is easily readable in all light conditions.

• Polaris Interactive Digital Display

This exclusive and industry-leading full color display provides important information and capabilities to the rider such as: sled performance, Bluetooth, GPS mapping, Clock, and LH Control. This gauge comes as an option on some models and is also available as an accessory.

• Left-Hand Controls

The left-hand controls feature improved ergonomics and enhanced hand and thumb warmed control. The controls are easily operated with gloves on.
