2021 POLARIS® 850 SWITCHBACK ASSAULT 144

Vehicle Description

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.
