Polaris replaced some of their current lineup and added a couple more in the AXYS chassis. This includes models in the Rush, Switchback, and RMK. The most distinct of these models is the new Rush XCR package, and the new RMK 174 LE package.

RMK will be available with a 174” track, going up against the Ski-Doo 174, for those riders who simply have to get everywhere, and back. These long track sleds are designed for soft snow floatation and longer climbs.

Patented Raised AXYS^® RMK^® Chassis

The AXYS^® RMK^® features a patented, raised chassis that increases clearance and reduces drag to keep you on top of the snow. This new chassis, purpose built for mountain riding, allows for improved sidehilling, faster and easier climbing, and instantaneous lift allowing the sled to pop onto the snow faster. The aluminum overstructure is lightweight and durable for all types of riding. Taller spindles increases clearance to reduce drag.

Proven 800 Cleanfire^® H.O. Engine

Developed in conjunction with the AXYS platform, the proven 800 Cleanfire^® H.O. Engine delivers +10% increase in power-to-weight ratio and quicker throttle response to generate instantaneous lift. The integrated mounting position optimizes the balance of the chassis. Featuring:

• Grooved piston for improved durability and engine life
• 3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves for increased power and responsiveness
• Electronic oil pump for reduced throttle effort and improved durability
• Thermostat with bypass warms up to operating temperature 40% faster and improves durability
• High-efficiency intake and exhaust for improved breathability, which increases power
• Exclusive VForce Reeds for more power and improved reed life
• Lightweight crankshaft that's more durable, 2.5 lbs lighter and has 25% less inertia

This is the same 800 H.O. engine released with great success in the 2015 Polaris RUSH and Switchback models, and has been proven through 100,000+ field testing miles.

High-Efficiency Intake and Exhaust

New porous intake duct material and high-flow exhaust system create a better breathing engine package for more power. An all-new silencer provides reduced sound levels. Vforce reeds provide improved performance, throttle response and reed durability.

Legendary RMK Balance

The patented AXYS^® chassis delivers the RMK’s renowned perfect balance that riders have come to expect. The new RMK offers increased, ultimate control and a more compliant ride.

 AXYS^® Body Panel Design

The AXYS^® RMK^® features a compact body panel geometry and design that helps give the sled the best lean angle in the industry allowing it to hold even the steepest sidehill lines. RMK does not "Panel Out" like other competitors.

​

LED 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.

​

Another industry first for Polaris - the most advanced instrumentation in snowmobiling. This 4.3" high resolution, full color, LCD digital display provides a rider with information including:

• Sled performance: Speedometer, tachometer, dual tripmeters, average speed, max speed, engine/trip hours & odometer
• Sled operating conditions: Coolant temperature, diagnostics & maintenance warnings
• Riding conditions: Air temperature, time of day in 12 or 24-hour clock format
• Bluetooth^™ functionality: Enables the gauge to communicate with the rider’s cell phone and provide notification of incoming calls or texts. Displays phone battery & signal strength
• GPS/Mapping Capability: A compass is standard, & full-featured GPS can be installed to provide directions & information about services such as fuel, restaurants, lodging & Polaris dealerships. Customize the GPS to operate with North Up or Course Up navigation depending on your preference
• NEW Ride Planning Feature enables you to plan a ride on RiderX, save it as a GPX file, and transfer it to the display through the USB interface

This gauge comes as an option on select SnowCheck models and is also available as an accessory option.
