This Cleanfire® Semi-direct Injection (SDI) cooled engine offers exceptional throttle response and instant acceleration. These powerful, efficient engines start easily and reliably. They automatically calibrate to temperature and altitude changes. These engines deliver impressive fuel economy in real-world riding situations, which for Polaris riders means aggressive, rhythmic, high-revving riding. The 600 engine, which now powers the AXYS® chassis, features a new integrated lightweight bracket, electronic oil pump and bypass thermostat.
Stiffness and rider data: RMK has a stiff suspension and frame, which makes the snowmobile easier to ride for all snowmobilers. It allows the snowmobile to maintain a line on the hillside and not be pushed off the face of the hill like a flexible suspension would. A rigid suspension and frame make the snowmobile more predictable and responsive to the rider’s actions, which is less exhausting.
- A flexible suspension works against your ability to stay on a hillside by pushing the snowmobile against the face of the slope.
- tMotion + FlexEdge on the Ski-Doo Summit add flexibility to the suspension and track, making it easy for the snowmobile to flip over on the sales floor, but difficult to do so in more technical terrain, as it offers less control over the snow.
The Polaris AXYS RMK has 20% less drivetrain inertia than Ski-Doo’s Summit model, which means the RMK requires less effort while giving you excellent control and maneuverability when driving in deep snow. Several innovations from Polaris allow for lower inertia, including:
- QuickDrive™ Low Inertia Drive System: Designed to make the sled accelerate faster for instant lift and reduces rotational inertia by 21% over the PRO-RIDE model to provide better maneuverability and more flexibility.
- 800 H.O. Legendary Polaris P-85 Engines and Clutches: The proven 800 Cleanfire® H.O. engine delivers 10% more power-to-weight ratio and faster throttle response for instant lift. The lightweight crankshaft provides 25% less inertia and faster throttle response. In addition, the proven

Patented AXYS® RMK® elevated chassis
The AXYS® RMK® features a patented elevated chassis that increases clearance and reduces drag to keep you above the snow. This new frame, specialized for mountain riding, allows for better performance on the side of the mountain, faster and easier hill climbing and an instant lift system that allows the snowmobile to get to the surface faster. The cover structure is lightweight and durable for all types of pipe. Larger spindles increase clearance to reduce drag.
Rear suspension
The new lightweight and stiff rear suspension design includes revised geometry to control pitch. This improves weight transfer, allowing for better control and more convenient riding. The rigid suspension delivers power directly to the snow. Off-road, riders will notice improved weight transfer while maintaining the approach angle. On the trail, riders will notice a more comfortable and convenient ride. The rear suspension features a new durable and lightweight guide rail design that helps raise the rear skid when driving forward. The rear pushrod geometry has been optimized to maintain rider balance.
800 Cleanfire H.O. ENGINE
Developed in conjunction with the AXYS platform, the proven 800 Cleanfire® H.O. engine delivers a 10% increase in power-to-weight ratio and faster throttle response to generate instant lift. Integrated mounting position optimizes chassis balance. Includes:
- Grooved piston for improved durability and engine life
- Three-stage electronically controlled exhaust valves for optimized power and responsiveness
- Electronic oil pump for reduced throttle pressure and improved durability
- Thermostat with bypass heats up to operating temperature 40% faster and improved durability
- High-efficiency intake and exhaust for improved breathability, resulting in increased power
- Exclusive VForce valves for more power and longer valve life
- Longer lasting, lightweight crankshaft, 2.5 lbs. lighter with 25% less inertia
It’s the same 800 H.O. engine successfully launched in the 2015 Polaris RUSH and Switchback models, and it’s been proven in over 100,000 miles of field testing.
