Features

Built For Fun

  • LIGHT & NIMBLE: The Switchback Sport is lightweight and responsive with the PRO-RIDE chassis.
  • CONVENIENCE STANDARD: Value doesn't mean defeatured. Standard Electric Start and Push-button Reverse add the convenience of turn key starting and allow new or smaller riders to concentrate on their day of riding and not pulling a recoil starter along with the ease of confident parking.
  • ALL-DAY COMFORT: The PRO-RIDE seat features a wider surface right where a rider sits to provide enhanced comfort during long days on the snow, and the seat design allows easy transition between seating and standing positions.
  • With comfortable seats, confidence-inspiring skis and integrated storage options - you'll enjoy long days out on the trail all winter long.

Proven Value

  • LIBERTY 550 FAN ENGINE: Durable, Reliable, Fan-cooled Value.
  • PRO-RIDE CHASSIS: Bonded Aluminum Construction for Added Durability.
  • 1.35 COBRA TRACK: Confidently Ride On-Trail and Off-Trail.
  • PROVEN PERFORMANCE: The PRO-RIDE chassis introduced the idea of strength, lightweight and durability and is the foundation of this on-trail first crossover sled.
  • SMOOTH RIDES START HERE: Polaris Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Shocks deliver both durability and high-performance. They perform reliably under the harshest conditions and deliver a smooth ride and handling.
  • 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.
  • FLOATS OFF-TRAIL. COMFORTABLE ON-TRAIL.: The 144 Coil-Over Rear Suspension is designed for better flotation and deep snow performance with an improved on-trail ride. By eliminating the torsion springs and redesigning the torque arms, the skid weighs substantially less.
  • The Switchback Sport is purpose-built as a great value crossover trail sled. Designed to deliver confidence and make your day on the snow the best it can be.

Versatility for Wherever You Ride.

  • DURABLE. LIGHT. NIMBLE: The Pro-Ride chassis is a proven platform. Strong and light.
  • FLOATS OFF-TRAIL. COMFORTABLE ON-TRAIL.: The 144 Coil-Over Rear Suspension is designed for better flotation and deep snow performance with an improved on-trail ride. By eliminating the torsion springs and redesigning the torque arms, the skid weighs substantially less.
  • DURABLE, RELIABLE PERFORMANCE.: The Liberty 550 engine is fan-cooled to provide consistent power, regardless of snow conditions. The clutching is equipped for smooth engagement and enhanced low-speed drivability.
  • 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.
