This year, Polaris made the best mountain sled, RMK, even better by building the machine on the new AXYS® chassis dramatically raising the bar in lift, rider-balanced control and response. In total, Polaris’ 2016 lineup features 20 sleds built on the AXYS® platform including RMK, RUSH and SWITCHBACK models. Polaris also introduced four all new sleds including the 800 SKS 155, the 800 RUSH PRO-S “Night Lightning” LE, the 800 Switchback Adventure and the 800 Switchback ASSAULT Terrain Dominator LE. The 2016 lineup boasts more than 30 models in total.
“Honoring our heritage, Polaris continues to embrace innovation by aggressively looking for ways to bring our industry leading sleds to the next level,” said Chris Wolf, General Manager of Snowmobiles, Polaris Industries Inc. “We are committed to delivering machines that work for all riding styles from mountains to trails. For 2016, we’ve produced a collection of sleds that dominate any terrain and promise unmatched performance, comfort and versatility.”
Polaris is again offering riders a chance to truly customize their sleds from the ground up during SnowCheck Select, March 2- April 14, 2015. With more choices than ever before, including track, suspension, and chassis options, riders can personally select the sled, its colors and specifications desired for their machines.

2016 MODEL SEGMENTS
THE AXYS® PLATFORM EXPANDS TO RMK®
Improving on lift, control and response, Polaris has changed the game for snowmobiles and given RMK sleds the strongest edge yet by incorporating the AXYS® chassis into all new models. This new raised chassis, built specifically for mountain riding, includes an all-new front and rear suspension design, along with the proven 800 H.O. engine, allowing the 2016 RMK models to easily dominate any terrain.
With horsepower that’s competitive to class-leading 800 engines and weighing in at a world’s lightest 408 lbs., the 2016 PRO-RMK holds the industry’s best power-to-weight ratio. By taking the legendary Snow King Special and matching it with the ground-breaking AXYS RMK chassis, the all-new 800 SKS 155 provides low-to-mid elevation mountain riders with the most versatile deep snow sled on the market.
AXYS® PLATFORM PROVIDES DOMINATION FOR RUSH® & SWITCHBACK®
The Polaris RUSH and SWITCHBACK sleds both aim to provide the greatest experience for riders on and off the trail. After the introduction of the AXYS platform in 2015, both RUSH and SWITCHBACK models provide riders with unmatched control, performance and comfort. The Polaris RUSH delivers the ultimate trail performance and uses rider-balanced positioning to allow riders to corner flat and get on the gas while always maintaining control of the machine. The Polaris SWITCHBACK provides the smoothest trip whether on trails or exploring raw terrain.
The all-new 800 RUSH PRO-S “Night Lightning” LE features a ROX® Adjustable Handlebar Riser, the Interactive Digital Display with GPS – a Polaris exclusive – and more.
