Polaris 9R Indy XCR 136
Some fans pine for the days of highly modified Pro Open race sleds ; little did they know such monsters would actually first return for trail and ditch riders . For 2025 , the startlingly responsive Patriot 9R “ factory mod ” engine that was first introduced for mountain riders has been paired with the Indy XCR package in the Matryx chassis to create the ultimate big-bore ditchbanger . The Walker Evans Velocity shocks plus all of the XCR ’ s chassis and suspension reinforcements are put to the test when this combination is in the gloved hands of a capable rider . Off a field approach , rise or off-trail mogul , the 9R Indy XCR launches itself into another stratosphere while flying straight and true .
BEST DEAL , CROSSOVER
Arctic Cat Riot 600
A wonderful way to experience the many benefits of the Catalyst chassis without breaking the bank is on a Riot 600 . For as little as $ 13,999 , a sledder can enjoy the lightweight design , rider-focused ergos and ideal balance when on or off the trails . Whether hucking it through turns on a groomed path , carving in untouched powder or picking your way up a tree-lined hill in the Upper Midwest or Northeast , the reactiveness of the powerplant and chassis to rider inputs makes it a riot ( pun intended ) to throw around . And you don ’ t need a large displacement engine or a bottomless bank account to get in on the fun .
