a canadian winter experience through the lens of ciaran’s camera with a polaris VR1 850
It goes back to that saying “you either love it or hate it”. Winter is exactly that. To me, winter is a completely different world offering so many amazing experiences. From going skiing with friends and family, to building toboggan runs in the backyard, skating and pond hockey, and my favourite of all, snowmobiles. There’s endless possibilities to explore in the winter. This is my winter with a Polaris VR1 850.

Patriot 850
The Polaris Patriot 850 engine is a monster of a motor, delivering seemingly endless power. Pushing close to roughly 170 hp, the Patriot pushes the VR1 to 100 KM/H sub 4-seconds.

7S display
The 7S Display completely changes the dynamics of the ride. You’re able to listen to music, view a full trail map, track friends in a group ride, see all necessary information about how the sled is running, and so much more.
Capturing and riding the Polaris Indy VR1 850 has been nothing short of amazing. To spend time with friends and family on the trails, grab food at local restaurants, and visit scenic destinations, I couldn't imagine driving any other sled.
