2018 Polaris 800 Switchback Assault 144 ES for Sale

Rider Balanced Control

• AXYS® CHASSIS: The 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.
• IGX 144 REAR SUSPENSION: A core element to the AXYS 144 platform is the IGX 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 rear suspension. And with 43% more front torque arm travel, this sled features reduced bottoming and less drag off-trail. An optimized, lighter, reinforced tipped rail beam design gives the sled a nimble feel.
• POWDERTRAC™ HYBRID RUNNING BOARDS: The PowderTrac Hybrid running boards offer optimized design with 56% open space for maximum snow clean out while maintaining extreme strength. Designed to serve the needs of riders on- & off-trail. Efficient design delivers maximum strength & snow clean-out with 56% open space. Front is wide & flat for foot comfort & stability; rear has tapered, dual-angle design for mobility & snow clearance.

• WIND PROTECTION: The hood and windshield designs produce significantly enhanced wind protection for a rider, and the foil on the side panels further enhances protection.
• INTEGRATED STORAGE: Storage was designed and developed right along with the AXYS platform, so it installs securely and features seamless, integrated styling that matches the sled’s design lines: Compression-molded materials provide semi-rigid storage and enhanced styling, Sturdier zippers provide better cargo security and protection, Installs without tools.
• PREMIUM 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 1.35 IN. TRACK: The Cobra 1.35 in. track delivers excellent performance on soft, loose snow off-trail. The softer lugs feature traction teeth for better grip on hard-pack surfaces.
• WALKER EVANS® NEEDLE SHOCKS: Premium shocks with compression adjusters and remote reservoirs offer the best in tunability and fade-proof performance. Unique needle design uses hydraulic force at the end of the stroke to eliminate harsh bottoming.
• PROTAPER HANDLEBARS: New ProTaper Handlebars are aluminum and feature a flat design with integrated mountain hooks for ease in deep snow riding and aggressive cornering
• PRO-STEER SKIS: The PRO-STEER ski features a reshaped keel and shortened skag for reduced steering effort. Redesigned ribs atop the ski increase torsional 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
