2026 POLARIS 600 INDY CROSS COUNTRY

The 2026 Polaris 600 INDY Cross Country is here. Race proven performance built with the 600 Patriot Engine to dominate the toughest cross-country tracks in the world.

BORN IN THE DITCHES. BUILT TO DOMINATE.

The 2026 Polaris 600 INDY Cross Country is built to dominate cross-country race circuits from the Iron Dog to the I-500.

Race-Ready Performance

Racer First Design

The Matryx platform delivers breakthrough rider-first ergonomics developed on the race track. A narrow, sculpted cockpit allows the racer to move with the sled, not around it, improving handling and control. The racer connection to the sled unlocks the next dimension in performance.

Polaris Racing Components

The 2026 INDY Cross Country is purpose built with the best components like chromoly torque arms, and heavy duty A-arms and spindles – the same components that won every COR Powersports Cross-Country race in 2025.

More Power & Response

The 600 Patriot is a purpose-built race engine, with 8% more power, and a broader power and torque curve than the previous engine*. It utilizes proven Patriot architecture, along with race-specific porting and a four-injector system. For 2026, calibration updates improve both durability and performance on the track.

Dominating Technology

Walker Evans Racing Shocks

The ultra-high-performance Walker Evans Velocity shocks are bred for the race track. Through the position-sensitive, tuned remote reservoir design, the Velocity shocks offer superior feel and response as well as more bottom-out resistance for big hits. The shocks are used and proven on the Snocross track for faster break-in and more consistent performance race after race.

Polaris Race Suspension

The high-clearance IFS ensures ground clearance and confident cornering, especially on extremely rough race tracks. The Pro-CC rear suspension features a robust yet lightweight long-travel design, with longtail torsion springs and enhances stability, predictability, and bottoming resistance. For 2026, a new idler wheel layout improves durability while maintaining speed on fast race tracks, along with additional front torque arm angle options for improved handling on the ice.
