Feature Snowmobile: 2020 Polaris Switchback PRO-S

2020 Polaris Switchback PRO-S

As winter approaches, many find themselves making the transition from dirt to snow; our recreational vehicles are doing the same. From dirt bikes to snowmobiles, we tend to stay off the general paths. Known for its smooth ride and handling, the Switchback PRO-S will handle on the trail and still take you into the backcountry. The 2020 Polaris Switchback PRO-S is the crossover sled you’ve been waiting for to give you the best of both worlds.

Available in three choices of two-stroke engines, you won’t be let down. The 850 Patriot engine has industry leading power-to-weight ratio to carry you to the front of the pack. Rider position is key to give you a sled that corners flat without sacrificing the fun factor or front end lift through bumps and powder. You’ll also get great handling both on and off trail.

The AXYS chassis minimizes weight throughout the sled without compromising strength. Along with the powerful engine, the Polaris Switchback PRO-S gives the driver a chance to get up to speed quickly. The PRO-XC progressive-rate rear suspension is lighter and stronger, optimized for performance and control. The ergonomic controls, integrated storage, enhanced wind protection, and LED headlights and gauge packages are sure to bring comfort to all riders.
