2019 Polaris® 850 Switchback® Assault® 144 1.6 Cobra

• Keep Your Options Wide Open

With the Switchback® Assault® on the AXYS® platform, you have the off-trail agility and on-trail confidence you need to attack the backcountry. Go big on- or off-trail and dominate the terrain

• 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.

• 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.

• 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® 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® Hybrid Running Boards

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

• The SnowCheck-Exclusive 850 Switchback® Assault® - powered by the all-new Polaris® 850 Patriot™ engine - is for aggressive backcountry riders that demand off-trail agility and on-trail confidence. The 850 Patriot™ engine offers class-leading durability, responsiveness, unrivaled acceleration, and industry best power-to-weight. The most powerful snowmobile engine ever built by Polaris®.
