Inside Polaris' Snowmobile Customization Program

For snow enthusiasts, nothing beats the thrill of a perfectly tailored ride. Polaris understands this passion and has revolutionized the snowmobile buying experience with their comprehensive customization program.

From choosing the model base to adding on performance and design features, Polaris' snowmobile customization program allows you to get ultra-specific with your dream ride. And the best part? It's all done in a few easy steps on their website.

So, how does it work – and how can you start building the ride of your dreams? Let's break it down.

Why Choose Polaris?

Polaris has a long-standing reputation for innovation and quality. They have consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible in snowmobile design and performance, offering riders unparalleled experiences on the snow. And along with that reputation is a legacy of reliability, durability, and cutting-edge technology built into each model. 

But our favorite reason to buy Polaris? Their customer-focused approach. From these fun online customization tools to the dealers who offer personalized advice, Polaris makes the process of buying and customizing a snowmobile as enjoyable as riding it.

Which Rides Can You Pick From?

When you load the customization system on Polaris’ website, you’ll have the following snowmobiles to choose from (with more models being added as they are released).

• INDY
• RMK
• SWITCHBACK
• Voyageur
• TITAN

You can learn more about each model by clicking on its respective pages, which contain detailed specifications and features. Once you've chosen your base model, it's time to make it your own.

Step 1: Choose Your Base Model

After selecting your preferred model family, you'll be presented with various trim levels. For example, if you've chosen the INDY, you might see options like the INDY SP or INDY XC. 

Each trim level offers different features and capabilities, allowing you to fine-tune your selection based on your riding preferences and budget – but you’ll want to make sure to get to know each model in particular, as the differences between trims aren't always obvious.

Step 2: Select Your Engine

Polaris offers a range of engines to suit different power needs and riding styles. For instance, you might have the option to choose between the efficient 650 Patriot engine or a more powerful 850 Patriot. 

Consider factors like fuel efficiency, power output, and your intended use when making this decision, because it’s what’s under the hood that can really make a difference on the snow.

Step 3: Choose Your Track

The track you choose can significantly impact your snowmobile's performance in different snow conditions. Options might include variations in length, width, and lug height. 

For example, you might see choices like the 15 x 137 x 1.25 Ripsaw II, which is excellent for trail riding, or longer tracks with deeper lugs for better flotation in deep powder.

Step 4: Customize Your Color

This is where your sled starts to become uniquely yours. Polaris offers a variety of color options and graphic packages for each model. Whether you prefer a classic look or something that stands out on the trails, you'll find options to suit your style. Different base models have varying color options - so pick carefully!

Step 5: Add Performance Options

Now it's time to really dial in your ride. Polaris offers a range of performance upgrades, which may include:

• Advanced suspension packages
• Upgraded shocks
• Handlebar options for improved ergonomics
• Windshield variations for better protection
• Enhanced gauge clusters and technology packages

Step 6: Accessorize

The final step is adding accessories to make your snowmobile perfect for your needs. Options might include:

• Storage solutions like cargo racks and bags
• Protective equipment such as skid plates and bumpers
• Comfort enhancements like heated grips or seats
• Performance add-ons like exhaust systems or air intakes
• Tech gadgets, including GPS units or communication systems

Throughout the process, you'll see a running total of your customizations, helping you stay within budget. The website also provides real-time visual updates, allowing you to see exactly how your choices affect the look of your sled.

Bringing Your Custom Sled to Life

Once you've finalized your dream build, you can save your configuration, print it out, or email it to yourself or your local dealer. This makes it easy to discuss your custom sled with a Polaris expert who can answer any additional questions and help you complete your purchase.

As we said, the excellent team at Polaris can help you make any tweaks or adjustments to your custom sled before it goes into production. This ensures that your one-of-a-kind ride is perfect for you and meets all of your expectations.

Remember, the beauty of Polaris' customization program is that it allows you to create a snowmobile that's as unique as your riding style. Whether you're a trail blazer, a backcountry explorer, or someone who uses their sled for work and play, you can build a machine that perfectly fits your needs and preferences.
