On and Off Trail Versatility

When the ride goes from the groomed trail to the singletrack, then the frozen swamp to the meadow, the versatility of a Switchback sled can't be beat. New for 2026 includes the option of Escape Front Suspension - a narrower 39-41" ski-stance for even better off-trail agility.

Rider First Design. Effortlesss Control.

The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondocker's dream. The narrow cockpit provides improved rider connection to help you move around the sled in deep snow for balance or on-trail for precision.

Effortless Control & Crossover Performance

The Matryx platform Switchback Assault features a rider-first design and decades of suspension development pulling the best attributes from RMK mountain sleds and INDY trail sleds to create the best handling crossover sled on snow, now with two front suspension options.
