In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Polaris Inc. unveiled the first of three limited edition snowmobiles: the 2025 Patriot 9R Switchback Assault 146 70th Anniversary Edition. This nostalgic edition pays homage to the legendary XLT family of the 1990s, bringing back its signature purple and blue over black color scheme.
“We are excited to offer 70th Anniversary limited edition sleds that bring back memories for our riders and highlight our heritage and innovation,” said Jenny Nack, Polaris Snow vice president and general manager.
The Patriot 9R Switchback Assault 70th Anniversary Limited Edition showcases Polaris’ two-stroke performance with the Patriot 9R engine, along with a color-matched front Sentry Bumper and RGB Handguards for enhanced ’90s nostalgia and style, and a fresh design inspired by the classic XLT model.
Two additional 70th Anniversary Limited Edition Snowmobiles, which combine iconic ’90s sled designs with contemporary innovations, will be revealed at Hay Days on Sept. 7, 2024.
“We set out to create truly special Anniversary Editions, drawing from 70 years of innovation and snowmobile history. The iconic sleds from the ’90s emerged as top contenders. The ’90s era influences are prominent in pop culture, and the nostalgia is also resonating within the snowmobiling community,” said Nels Eide, Polaris snow product manager.

Each snowmobile will be available in limited quantities and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
