Superior Lighting Performance

The standout feature of this windshield is the powerful 2,000-lumen auxiliary headlight, seamlessly built into the center of the windshield. This additional light source works in tandem with your Polaris snowmobile’s existing headlights, effectively doubling your field of vision. The bright, focused beam illuminates a wider area, allowing you to spot obstacles, wildlife, or turns with greater clarity and confidence. The auxiliary light is conveniently controlled through your snowmobile’s high beam switch, offering seamless operation without the need for additional controls.

Protection Against the Elements

In addition to boosting visibility, the windshield serves its primary function: shielding you from the elements. Winter conditions can be brutal, with wind, snow, and ice constantly challenging your endurance. The Integrated Center Auxiliary Light Windshield offers excellent protection, keeping wind, snow roost, and debris off you, so you can stay focused on the ride. Its durable construction ensures it holds up to the toughest winter environments.

Compatibility and Easy Installation

Designed to fit a wide assortment of Polaris sleds from model year 2021 onward, this windshield upgrade offers compatibility across the Polaris snowmobile lineup. Installation is straightforward, and the auxiliary light connection integrates effortlessly with your existing electrical system. This means you can quickly and easily enhance your snowmobile without complicated modifications.

Ride Safely and Confidently

With the Polaris Integrated Center Auxiliary Light Windshield, you’re investing in both safety and performance. The powerful lighting system gives you the confidence to ride at night, knowing you have superior visibility and protection.

I know we talked a lot about VR1 Patriot BOOST last season but what we weren’t prepared for was the material changes Polaris has made to the ride and acceleration of this 2-stroke, factory turbo trail sled.

Last year the Boost laid down an almost vicious response to throttle inputs over 6000 RPM. The sled would transition from essentially no boost to a full-on 3 PSI gulp of O2 in a spread of less than 500 RPM.

The sled was fun to take into the boost zone, but required deliberate concentration to modulate and more importantly to find traction. This response came across as somewhat unrefined, but nevertheless, impressive.

The new MY24 VR1 BOOST has received a serious re-mapping, netting a dramatically altered response to throttle inputs across the entire RPM range, essentially from engagement at 4000-4500 RPM to full shift at 8250 RPM.

According to Polaris, its team did a significant amount of tweaking to the main injectors and even more work was done to the boost port injector.

Surprisingly there was little clutch calibration tweaking, but what you end up with is a silky-smooth transition from no boost to full boost blended in an overwhelmingly formidable surge which will (I’m not kidding here) require you to move up on the seat and roll your wrists around the grips when you hammer the throttle wide open. This recalibration of the fuel delivery process is quite amazing.

We said this last year and we’ll say it again here because repetition is the law of emphasis: Buy and install enough traction studs to establish a three stud per grouser pattern with two studs in every middle belt and alternating one stud per outside belt. This is the minimum we would recommend.

If you bought and paid for a VR1 BOOST then you’re going to need traction studs to have a decent chance at getting hooked up on long pulls down Kevlar Lake.

It’s good news all around with the 2024 Polaris Patriot BOOST Indy VR1 137 and one rip may leave you struggling to erase the biggest smile you’ve produced all winter.
