Polaris has announced its 2026 snowmobiles, boasting advancements in all segments, including new features, technologies, accessories, and all-new models.

“ Polaris is a product-driven company. Innovation is our lifeblood, and we will continue to push without exception to improve the riding experience every year, as you will see with our 2026 lineup,” comments Jenny Nack, vice president and general manager of Polaris Snow.“ No matter where you ride or who you ride with, our 2026 snowmobiles bring next-level versatility and technology.”

NEW VOYAGEUR LINEUP Featuring the Voyageur SP 155, Voyageur XC 155, and Voyageur Adventure Ultimate 155.

All Voyageur 155 models feature patent-pending Back- Trak15 rear articulated suspension, high-clearance independent front suspension( IFS), and TrailBreaker Skis for confidence in varying snow conditions as well as on- and offtrail performance in forward or reverse. Plus, the 650 Patriot engine delivers smooth acceleration, whether cruising the trails or towing a load of gear to the cabin.

The 15� wide track and narrower ergonomics provide comfort and rider-balanced control for long days outdoors. Additionally, Polaris offers a suite of accessories to outfit the Voyageur 155, including utility-focused storage solutions, added lighting, and a windshield.

This all-new lineup has something to offer riders breaking trails, hauling gear, or hitting the trails with a passenger.

PRO RMK & RMK KHAOS LIMITED EDITIONS Polaris’ bold styling of the PRO RMK and RMK Khaos Limited Edition models stands out in the backcountry. These SnowCheck exclusive models are equipped with accessories and premium features for the ultimate backcountry experience.

Patriot 9R and Patriot Boost engine options allow customers to pick which engine best meets their riding needs. Those looking for fast response and lightweight power may opt for the Patriot 9R, while those interested in a turbocharged adventure will lean toward the Patriot Boost.

Three new Burandt Edition accessories, including a front bumper, HD rear bumper and handlebar bag, offer increased protection and convenience while exploring the backcountry. The unique paint, design and graphics, like dream orange pearl and matte steel blue with chrome decals, allow mountain riders to stand out.

NEW SUSPENSION Rider-driven innovation played a significant role in helping shape the Polaris’ 2026 offerings for Crossover riders who can now select from two front suspension options on their Switchback Assault. The all-new Escape front suspension features a narrower front suspension and proven RMK components to give riders greater agility and handling when off-trail. The original Race front suspension has a wider stance and delivers the ultimate trail comfort and handling with off-trail capability.

INDY XCR The 2026 Indy XCR now features a 20 % stiffer suspension calibration, allowing the sled to manage big bumps and rough trails easily. The Indy XCR also features a new longtail rear suspension, derived from the 2024 and 2025 Indy Cross Country race sleds, for improved throttle-on steering and bottom-out resistance, which enable better control and handling on aggressive terrain.

WIDETRACK Polaris upgraded its 2026 Titan snowmobiles to manage heavy-duty winter tasks on- or off-trail with an expanded lineup, more engine options, including the 850 Patriot or ProStar S4, and an expanded accessory offering, including a large utility box to suit varying riding styles. All Titan models feature patent-pending BackTrak20 Rear Articulated Suspension, High-Clearance IFS, Trail- Breaker Skis, and 20� wide Cobra tracks for flotation and performance in varying snow conditions.

RIDE COMMAND Polaris’ Ride Command mapping system boasts over 1.1 million miles of verified trails and unique features. It elevates the snowmobile experience with route planning and group ride capabilities, all without the need for cell service. This technology is available for free to all riders through the app, online, or directly on the snowmobile.

SNEAK PEEK TOUR To celebrate the 2026 lineup, Polaris is hitting the road with a Sneak Peek Tour, bringing stops to riders across the country. At each stop, customers will have the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the newest sleds, chat with the Polaris team, and have a chance to win exclusive swag.

The final day of the Gogebic Community College Trilogy Cup Championship snowmobile race at Mount Zion in Irondale, Michigan, was canceled due to rain, according to a March 15 report from WLUC-TV6.

Before the race finale on March 16, rain deteriorated the snowpack, creating unsafe ice conditions and rain ruts, reports WLUC.

The course had less-than-ideal conditions leading up to the race, with several course areas experiencing thin snow buildup, race promoter Cor PowerSports said in a blog posted March 10.

Cor PowerSports Owner Todd Myers says the 2.1−mile course was a longer distance course, and the crew was unable to make and compact enough snow for ideal racing conditions.

This was the Trilogy Cup Championship’ s second year at Mount Zion, and this year’ s race had 445 entries. Myers says Cor PowerSports is looking to continue working with Gogebic Community College to host future race finals.
