The all-new king of back-country riding, the 2009 Polaris 800 Assault RMK, will be in extremely capable hands as it gets launched, hucked, whipped and powered through wind-whipped cornices and spring powder for the next batch of extreme back-country videos, but this snowmobile was made to take it.
The purpose built 2009 800 Assault RMK will be ridden by professional athletes including Randy Sherman, Dan Adams, Dan Phillips and snowmobile distance jumping world record holder Paul Thacker this coming spring and next winter for extreme back-country snowmobile videos.
The Assault has a race-bred RMK chassis powered by the 154-hp, liquid-cooled Liberty 800 Cleanfire twin. Exclusive premium Walker Evans shocks can be found on all four locations, including all new piggy-back Walker Air shocks up front. For the ultimate traction in spring snow conditions, the Assault RMK rides on an aggressive 146-inch Competition track with 2.125-inch lugs.
Videos with the Assault will be available this fall, but you can check out
Randy Sherman's first ride in Colorado here.
The new 800 Assault RMK 146 is currently available for order during the Polaris First to Own Snow Check program. Details about the new snowmobile, including a dealer locator, are available at
