The Patriot 9R engine provides rapid throttle response, while the Matryx platform and Race front suspension are designed around precise handling and rider control.<\/p>\n<p>The 146\" IGX rear suspension gives the Switchback Assault additional flotation and stability compared with a traditional trail chassis. Combined with the 2.0\" Crossover track, this configuration is built to maintain traction when the snow gets deep while remaining capable on the trail.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>WHY BUY THE PATRIOT 9R SWITCHBACK ASSAULT 146?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Switchback Assault stands apart by combining a wider Race front suspension with a crossover-oriented rear suspension and track package. This gives riders a platform that can transition between groomed trails, rough terrain and deeper snow without being limited to one type of riding.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriot 9R adds a more aggressive power delivery to the package, while the WER 2\" Velocity shocks provide the damping control needed for harder trail riding and changing terrain. The 2.0\" Crossover track then adds substantial traction when conditions become soft or technical.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>POWER &amp; DRIVETRAIN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Patriot 9R is a 900-class, 2-cylinder liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine using Cleanfire Injection and Patriot 3DS ignition.

WER 2\" Velocity shocks are fitted to the front suspension, while WER components are also used in the rear suspension.<\/p>\n<p>The IGX 146 rear suspension uses optimized geometry and tipped rails to help manage pitch, improve cornering and provide additional flotation through the longer 146\" chassis.<\/p>\n<p>This unit is equipped with the 15\" x 146\" x 2.0\" Crossover track, the most aggressive track option offered for the Switchback Assault when deeper-snow traction is the priority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Front Suspension:<\/strong> Matryx Race Front Suspension | <strong>Rear Suspension:<\/strong> IGX 146 | <strong>Front Shocks:<\/strong> WER 2\" Velocity | <strong>Front Track Shock:<\/strong> WER 2\" C\/A | <strong>Rear Track Shock:<\/strong> WER Velocity | <strong>Front Travel:<\/strong> 9.5\" | <strong>Rear Travel:<\/strong> 16\" | <strong>Skis:<\/strong> PRO-STEER | <strong>Track:<\/strong> 15\" x 146\" x 2.0\" Crossover<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>CROSSOVER CAPABILITY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Switchback Assault is designed around the idea of riding beyond a traditional trail sled.
