5 Cool Things About Ski-Doo
5 Cool things about Ski-Doo
Innovation that Excites
Every ride has the potential to be indescribably epic. We call it, “That Ski-Doo Feeling.” Our goal is to help you find it – however you define it – through industry-leading innovation that’s at the core of every Ski-Doo snowmobile. BRP Rotax engines is just one way Ski-Doo snowmobiles do that.
From the incredibly responsive Rotax E-TEC 600cc and 850cc 2-stroke snowmobiles, to the ultra-efficient 900 ACE (Advanced Combustion Efficiency) and 900 ACE Turbo 4-strokes, Ski-Doo snowmobiles deliver inspiring power in every segment. It creates a ride that’s addictive in nature – an experience you’ll want to live over and over again.
Fearless Design
One of the many advantages in having Ski-Doo engineers working hand-in-hand with the engineering teams at Rotax is the ability to design together. The result: Snowmobiles that have redefined the sport several times over, from the first Ski-Doo to the original REV rider-forward platform to today’s REV Gen4 platform.
That outside-the-box freedom and putting the rider at the centre of everything enables Ski-Doo to take a zero-compromise approach, and fine tune any detail in the quest to find the perfect ride, from engine position and rider position to no battery starting systems and tone of the exhaust note.
LinQ and Go
For many companies, being recognized as an industry leading brand is the ultimate goal. For Ski-Doo, that’s not enough. Giving riders the ability to take their sled further than they ever thought possible is what drove Ski-Doo to create the LinQ accessory system.
This ingenious accessory system allows riders to adapt their ride quickly and easily – making their sleds more versatile and providing more choices for how they experience each day on the snow. Riders can add storage, carry extra fuel or tools for work and add a 2-up seat with the simple flip of a lever. Having extra essentials, fuel and the ability to adapt means more time on the snow, and more memories made.
Better Rides, Better Gear
The opportunity to create the world’s best ride goes beyond the sled. Riders want to be comfortable and see the beautiful winter landscape clearly. This is where Ski-Doo helmets and riding gear have continued to innovate and set the bar for the premiere riding experience season after season.
When no one else had an answer to clear vision, the Ski-Doo team tackled it by debuting the industry’s first modular helmet. Then came the fog-free ride of the BV2S helmet, and now the game-changing OXYGEN helmet that gives riders more vision, better protection, and a lighter, more comfortable ride.
That same commitment to the perfect ride can be found throughout the Ski-Doo lineup of riding gear. They search the world for the most advanced materials and processes that will allow riders to focus on one thing – enjoying the ride. Pair that with intuitive design that focuses on every detail - from zippers to pocket location to the perfect cut for ultimate comfort and function, there truly is no stopping Ski-Doo's pursuit of the perfect ride.
Blazing the Snowmobile Trail
Joseph-Armand Bombardier’s earliest iterations of a snowmobile were built for solving transportation problems like helping doctors make house calls and getting children to school. It wouldn’t take long for the recreational aspect of snowmobiling to capture people’s interest, and in the 1970s Ski-Doo would be at the forefront of another industry-shaping innovation.
In order for riders to enjoy the sport of snowmobiling to its fullest, they needed a place and a reason to ride. With the idea of providing a winter experience unlike anything the world had seen before, Ski-Doo became the driving force behind “SnoPlan” – the first interconnected snowmobile trail system. That idea to connect communities of snowmobile enthusiasts with an established trail system opened the floodgates to a new way to enjoy winter. Suddenly, there were new areas to explore, places to visit and memories to be made. Today, there are around 230,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in North America waiting to show riders everything winter has to offer.
