The all-new Switchback Pro-R delivers versatility without compromise, a combination of RUSH handling with off-trail flotation. The Switchback inspires confidence whether the trail is a freshly groomed or chopped up. Pick your line and the sled holds perfectly. Featuring a 136" PRO-RIDE progressive-rate rear suspension and a new IFS developed in conjunction with Polaris Racing, the new PRO-RIDE Switchback delivers the smoothest ride yet. By using an uncoupled design, we are able to build a sled that is more fun to ride, with great weight transfer, a wider sweet spot that requires less adjustment and unmatched offtrail capability. Watch your buddies try to keep up.
“My favorite is the 800 Switchback Pro-R – all the benefits of PRO-RIDE at a new level – the increased traction with the powerful 800cc motor is incredible = The fact that its an uncoupled 136 is important because this sled will take the skis up and do wheelies like a full on motocross bike if you want it to – you feel the skis get light when you want them to – I like the way it feels when you get on the gas – the way it goes through bumps with the bridging effect –and a more plush response in moguls and the way it improves the ride over a 121 is outstanding.”
