Turn the Tightest Corners Into Your Victory Lap
Designed for extreme performance riders that need to dominate tough terrain at high speeds. The lightweight yet strong AXYS® chassis paired with the race-ready components of the Switchback® XCR® deliver extreme performance. |
Features |
Rider Balanced® Control
By placing the rider in the right location on the sled, we've built a sled that corners flat without sacrificing the fun factor of lifting the front end through the bumps or powder. More precise handling both on- and off-trail. |
AXYS® Chassis
The AXYS® chassis design is the key to delivering rider balanced control through the right rider positioning and centralized vehicle mass. The rider's hand position is moved 4.5" forward, the feet position is 2" forward, the knee position is 4.5" forward, and the seat is 4.5" forward. This means more bite for flatter cornering when in the neutral riding position and a lighter front end for climbing on top of the snow or the moguls when the rider shifts to the back of the sled. |
PRO-XC® Rear Suspension with Polaris® Race Technology
The PRO-XC® progressive-rate rear suspension is optimized for the best performance and control. Through innovative Polaris® engineering, the suspension is both lighter and stronger. The front torque arm is rearward to control pitch, increase travel, and improve the rail profile. To increase durability and strength for extreme performance, the Switchback® XCR® features additional race-inspired components including: Chromoly Rear Pivot, FTS Mount, Solid Jackshaft, Chromoly Front Torque Arm, Reinforced Rail Beams, Solid Bogie Wheels, and IQR Rear Axle Wheels. |
Polaris ® Race Technology Brake System
Delivers outstanding performance and unparalleled durability. The race rotor provides increased surface area that effectively absorbs heat from brake pads for more consistent performance and even pad wear. Brake Scoop offers increased cooling while the Type 81 Brake Pads withstand higher temperatures associated with higher speeds. |
PRO-STEER Skis
The PRO-STEER ski features a reshaped keel and shortened skag for reduced steering effort. Redesigned ribs atop the ski increase stiffness for more precise steering, and bosses added atop the ribs provide traction to prevent slipping when a rider steps on the ski in deep snow. |
Unrivaled Acceleration
When developing the AXYS® platform, our engineers minimized weight throughout the sled without compromising strength. Combined with powerful engines and class-leading power-to-weight ratios, the Switchback® XCR® gives you the best go-anywhere versatility. |
