Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot Boost RMK® KHAOS® 165 in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it’s already mid-roost even while it’s sitting still. That color sets the tone: bold, purposeful, and ready to stand out when the trees get tight and the climb gets serious.
At the heart of this KHAOS is the **Patriot™ Boost** powerplant—an **840cc**, **2-cylinder**, **liquid-cooled** **2-stroke** built to feel lively the moment your thumb says “go.” With **turbocharged** punch and **fuel injection**, it brings crisp response and strong pull when you’re picking a line, correcting mid-sidehill, or trying to stretch a chute just a little farther than you planned. It runs on **regular fuel** with **gas / oil injection**, keeps things simple with a **pull start**, and exhales through a **single exhaust** that’s all business.
Power meets the snow through a **CVT** setup with **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutches and **belt drive**, giving you that smooth, mountain-friendly delivery that’s happy to go from delicate to aggressive without drama. And when the trail (or the parking lot) demands a little sanity, you’ve got **reverse** on tap—because nobody wants to wrestle a 165 around by hand more than they have to.
This sled is built on Polaris’ **MATRYX** **aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and responsive while staying impressively manageable at a **dry weight of 447 lbs.** The package feels designed for riders who like to move around and make the sled do what they’re thinking—not what it feels like doing. With an overall length of **132 inches**, a **43.4-inch** width, and an adjustable ski stance from **36 to 38 inches**, it’s happy to be precise in technical terrain while still feeling planted when conditions get chopped up.
Up front, the **RMK® React™** **independent A-arm** suspension delivers **9 inches** of travel, tuned to keep steering predictable when the snow turns inconsistent. The shocks are **WER® Velocity adjustable gas units with remote reservoirs**, and that adjustability matters—because your ideal setup on a cold, deep morning is not the same setup you want when things get sun-affected and punchy. Out back, the **RMK® KHAOS®** rear suspension brings **16 inches** of travel with **two rear shocks** (plus a center shock), all **WER® Velocity** and all adjustable with remote reservoirs. Translation: you can ride it playful and reactive, or calm it down when you’re stacking miles.
Then there’s the business end: the **Series 8** track. At **165 inches** long, **15 inches** wide, and sporting **2.75-inch lugs**, it’s built to keep driving when the snow gets deep and the slope gets rude. Pair that with **Gripper®** plastic skis and **carbide** skags, and you get bite and direction when you need to hold a line—without feeling like you’re fighting the bars all day. Speaking of bars, the **ProTaper™** handlebar setup keeps your inputs feeling direct, while the **thumb throttle** stays intuitive when you’re standing, shifting, and working the terrain.
Comfort and control details are handled the mountain way: a **one-piece vinyl seat** for a single rider, **heated** and **adjustable** driver grips with **rubber** handgrip material, plus practical protection like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**. Lighting is **LED**, and the low, tinted windshield keeps things sleek without getting in the way.
And because modern rides should be as smart as they are rowdy, it includes **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, gauge-based **fuel level** and **temperature warnings**, **Bluetooth® Audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation**—so whether you’re linking zones or meeting up with friends, the info you want is right where you need it.
In ****, this RMK® KHAOS® 165 doesn’t just promise mountain performance—it practically dares you to find a hill that can talk it out of climbing.
