Pat and Sean ride two 2023 Polaris RMK sleds—one with the Patriot 9R big bore naturally aspirated engine, and the other with Patriot Boost.
Our goal was to experience the two engine packages side by side to get a feel for how the engine characteristics compare and to help us decide which is better suited for the kind of riding we like to do.
For comparison, the two sleds are:
1) 2023 Polaris Pro RMK Slash 9R 155 x 15 x 2.75" Series 8 track
2) 2023 Polaris RMK Khaos Slash Patriot Boost 155 x 15 x 2.75" Series 8 track
We chose these specific configurations because we felt that they were best suited for the type of riding we expect each of these two packages to excel at based on the model handling and engine characteristics.
We hope you enjoy our Polaris Patriot 9R vs Patriot Boost experiment!
