Versatility for Wherever You Ride.

When the ride goes from the groomed trail to the singletrack, then the frozen swamp to the meadow, the versatility of a Switchback sled can't be beat.

Rider First Design. Effortless Control.

The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondocker's dream. The narrow cockpit provides improved rider connection to the sled. Helping you move around the sled in deep snow for balance or on-trail for precision.

Effortless Control in Any Condition

The snocross-inspired cockpit has been proven on the track to reduce effort and improve rider connection to the sled. Ultra-premium WER® Velocity shocks, race- inspired IFS and IGX 146 rear suspension combine to create the best handling crossover sled ever.

The Most Advanced Technology on Snow

Technology is built around the rider, including the Ride Command 7S Display. SmartWarmers, thermostat controlled hand warmers, and intuitive left hand controls.

PURPOSE-BUILT RIDE & HANDLING FOR ALL-MOUNTAIN

When we build a sled, we build it to be the best sled for each unique riding style, not simply a different sticker or name. Every part is scrutinized to deliver what you need as a rider.

  1. Patriot Power

    Smooth and powerful 650 Patriot engine.

  2. Light & Strong

    Bonded aluminium construction for added durability.

  3. Track Choices

    Tailor your traction for your riding style.

Ultimate Lift

The Matryx Slash features a lightweight, tapered tunnel delivering unrivaled traction and lift in all conditions.

Tame the Chatter. Eat up the Big Bumps.

Ultra-premium Walker Evans Racing® Velocity Shocks are designed to be compliant in the chatter and controlled in the big bumps. They feature a 2" body for increased oil capacity to provide all-day performance and 5/8" shafts for durability.

Predictable Steering. Confidence Inspiring.

Developed on the track, proven on-the trail. The Polaris IFS is the perfect balance of effort, precision & zero bump- steer-stability to deliver ultimate handling and control.

Float. Fly. And Carve the Corners.

The IGX 146 Rear Suspension features optimized geometry to better control pitch. The tipped rail design allows for easier cornering and acceleration while the 146" length offers improved flotation.
