2027 Polaris XPEDITION: Introducing NUMATIX
From its debut, Polaris XPEDITION redefined what a sport side-by-side could be—combining trail-ready capability with the comfort of a fully enclosed cab. For model-year 2027, Polaris builds on that foundation with NUMATIX Controlled CVT, an industry-first transmission system designed to deliver a quieter, smoother and more controlled ride without compromising performance.
NUMATIX Controlled CVT: Precision That Adapts
Traditional CVTs continuously adjust to terrain and rider input, helping keep the engine operating efficiently. However, their operation is governed by fixed mechanical settings, limiting how effectively they can adapt to changing conditions.
Designed and developed by Polaris, NUMATIX Controlled CVT takes a different approach.
A dedicated transmission control module works with an integrated air system to actively manage clutch pressure in real time—monitoring rider inputs, terrain, and vehicle behavior up to 200 times per second. The system adapts instantly, holding the engine exactly where it needs to be.
The result is a more composed, more controlled drive experience:
- Lower RPM during cruising to reduce in‑cab noise
- Smooth, predictable power delivery as conditions change
- Confident launches and consistent performance under load
- Improved comfort over long, demanding rides
In low gear, for example, NUMATIX maintains torque while reducing unnecessary engine speed—delivering quiet, controlled operation without sacrificing performance. It's precision that responds without the need to adjust your approach.
Reimagined Drive Modes
Because NUMATIX can actively manage transmission behavior in real time, it enables reimagined drive modes that give riders greater control over how Polaris XPEDITION feels behind the wheel. Once a mode is selected, NUMATIX works in coordination with electronic throttle control to continuously optimize transmission behavior, throttle response and RPM management for your preferred balance of comfort, responsiveness and control.
- Comfort Mode prioritizes smooth engagement and reduced noise—ideal for long rides and conversation inside the cab
- Standard Mode balances responsiveness and refinement for a connected, controlled feel on varied terrain
- Sport Mode sharpens response and increases engine speed when conditions call for more immediate performance
With reimagined drive modes, you choose the pace. Polaris XPEDITION responds with deliberate control.
Onboard Air: Capability That Extends Further
NUMATIX doesn't just transform how Polaris XPEDITION drives—it also introduces integrated onboard air as a standard feature for 2027. Powered by the same onboard air system that enables real-time transmission control, it gives riders added utility when the day demands it.
A built-in compressed air system provides on‑demand access through an auxiliary port, giving you support for longer rides and greater self-reliance.
With onboard air, you can:
- Adjust tire pressure for varying terrain
- Clear dust, debris, or snow from equipment and gear
- Power Polaris Engineered air‑driven accessories designed for extended use
It’s a practical advantage that keeps you moving with confidence when plans, terrain or conditions shift.
Engineered for Control. Designed for Comfort.
The 2027 Polaris XPEDITION represents a measured step forward—where innovation is grounded in real capability and every feature earns its place.
With NUMATIX Controlled CVT, reimagined drive modes, and integrated onboard air, Polaris XPEDITION delivers a quieter, more refined ride that remains responsive when it matters most.
More control. More comfort. Every mile.
