Polaris 600 RMK, 600 Pro RMK 2013 Specification

The 2013 Polaris 600 RMK and 600 Pro RMK snowmobiles are engineered for off-trail performance, designed to excel in deep snow and mountainous terrains. Both models are powered by a Liberty 600 Cleanfire engine, a liquid-cooled, 599cc 2-stroke engine known for its responsiveness and fuel efficiency. The engine is equipped with a semi-direct injection system, ensuring optimal power delivery and reduced emissions.

The RMK series features a Pro-Ride chassis, which is lightweight and rigid, enhancing rider control and maneuverability in challenging conditions. The 600 Pro RMK variant further emphasizes weight reduction with components such as the carbon fiber overstructure. Both models utilize a QuickDrive Low Inertia Drive System, which contributes to quicker throttle response and increased agility.

Suspension systems on these sleds are designed for mountain riding, with the front suspension featuring a lightweight forged aluminum A-arm setup and Walker Evans shocks to absorb rough terrain. The rear suspension, known as the RMK Coil-Over, offers enhanced traction and stability.

Track specifications include a 15-inch wide track with options for 144 to 155-inch lengths, providing superior flotation in deep snow. The Pro RMK version typically comes with a deeper lug profile for improved grip. Both models incorporate the RMK-specific seat and handlebar setup, optimized for stand-up riding and providing ergonomic comfort.

Overall, the 2013 Polaris 600 RMK and 600 Pro RMK are purpose-built for riders seeking adventure in uncharted snow-covered landscapes, offering a blend of power, agility, and durability.
