  Rider Balanced Control
Axys Chassis AXYS® Chassis

The NEW AXYS chassis for the 144 platform is light and strong, offering rider balanced characteristics critical for the 50/50 rider. The rider is moved into a balanced position on the sled  so it rides flat through the corners. When the trail gets rough or the rider jumps off into the powder, rider balance enables the rider to move back and make the front end light to climb up on top of the snow or the moguls.
 
Rear Suspension Igx 144 NEW IGX 144 Rear Suspension

A core element to the new AXYS 144 platform is the all new Ideal Geometry X-Over 144 uncoupled rear suspension, which offers the ultimate blend of durability and strength. The IGX 144 rear suspension provides RMK-inspired off-trail agility and balance with a drastically improved on-trail ride. Pitch is controlled through geometry in this new rear suspension. With 43% more front torque arm travel, this sled features reduced bottoming and less drag off-trail. An all new optimized, lighter, tipped rail beam design gives the sled a nimble feel.
 
Hybrid Board Tracks Comparison PowderTrac™ Hybrid Running Boards

The all new PowderTrac Hybrid running boards offer optimized design with 56% open space for maximum snow clean out while maintaining extreme strength. Designed specifically for the crossover rider, the boards are wider and flatter in the front for comfort while sitting and better positioning while standing up. The rear of the boards tapers back for better mobility and snow clearance when carving.
Unrivaled Acceleration
Axys ChassisLightweight

At 456 lbs, the Switchback ASSAULT on the AXYS 144 platform is the industry-leading lightweight 50/50 crossover snowmobile. It allows you to get up on top of deep snow faster and offers quick acceleration.
 

High Efficiency Intake Exhaust800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine

Developed in conjunction with the AXYS platform, the proven 800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine delivers class-leading acceleration. The integrated mounting position optimizes the balance of the chassis. Featuring:

  • 3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves
  • Electronic oil pump
  • Thermostat with bypass warms up to operating temperature 40% faster and improves durability
  • High-efficiency intake and exhaust
  • VForce Reeds
  • Lightweight crankshaft
  • Throttle body is lighter weight and reduces throttle effort
  • Grooved Piston

Electronically Controlled Exhaust Valves3-Stage Electronically-Controlled Exhaust Valves

3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves provide improved running quality, crisper throttle response, smoother idle and improved fuel economy. The active feedback for the exhaust valve position provides more accurate fueling in transient situations. These exhaust valves also improve combustion stability, leading to improved durability and engine life.
Electronic Oil PumpElectronic Oil Pump

Electronic oil pump eliminates power-robbing gear drive – and provides more precise, improved oil delivery for performance and durability as well as a 35% reduction in throttle effort. Requires no adjustments.
 
High Efficiency Intake ExhaustHigh-Efficiency Intake and Exhaust

Porous intake duct material and high-flow exhaust system create a better breathing engine package for more power. The silencer provides reduced sound levels while on the trail. Vforce reeds provide improved performance, throttle response and reed durability.
 
Vforce ReedsVForce Reeds

Provide improved performance, throttle response, and reed durability.
 
Lightweight CrankshaftLightweight Crankshaft

Lightweight crankshaft weighs 2.5 lbs less, delivering 25% lower inertia and quicker throttle response and spooling. This provides improved acceleration. Designed and engineered specifically for the 800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine for increased durability, this same lightweight crankshaft is used in Polaris Race sleds, including during the past 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons, showing it's proven durability.
 
800 Ho Engine Piston800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine Piston

Grooved piston was designed specifically for the 800 HO Cleanfire® Engine to increase durability and engine life.

Integrated StorageStandard AXYS 144" Underseat Bag

  • Provides 1024 cubic inches of secure storage space
  • Weather-tight design seals out snow
  • Storage can be accessed through zippered and velcro enclosure that is covered by additional material and buckle down straps
  • Bag is attached and located underneath the seat and tank and atop the tunnel
  • Combination of semi-rigid, compression-molded materials and polyester

Led LightsLED Lights

All models built on the AXYS® platform feature standard LED headlights. LED headlights deliver the industry’s best lighting:

  • Nearly 1 lb. lighter and high beams are 80% brighter than incandescent lighting.
  • Color temperature or output of the lights (the “whiteness” of light, reported in Kelvin) is 5000K, closely matching daylight.
  • LED headlights last the entire lifetime of the sled. A major durability enhancement over traditional incandescent headlights which experience filament burn out.
  • For constant visibility and enhanced safety, the low beams remain on at all times. Even when the high beam is activated, there is never a period of no light.
Premium Fit FinishPremium Fit & Finish

Interfacing surfaces between body panels and components are shorter for minimized gaps
  • Interfaces are strategically located in recessed areas
  • Styling of storage elements results in clean, integrated lines
  • Components are engineered for functionality and styled for the best styling
Cobra TrackChoice of Cobra 1.35” Track or Series 4 2.0” Track

Cobra 1.35" Track: Delivers excellent performance on soft, loose snow off-trail. The softer lugs feature traction teeth for better grip on hard-pack surfaces.
