Houray!!!! A new toy!!! But I don’t have it yet… I’m waiting for it… It is understandable to see a 7-year-old kid with his eyes wide open, especially at this time of year.But me???
What we hear about men acting like children seems to be true. The only difference is the size of their toys! So, here I am. Waiting…
Maybe you too are wondering about this model. What about it, really?
How will the suspension perform? Shall we have to make adjustments to get the riding we want? If so, will the adjustments be efficient? It happens that we have problems adjusting the suspensions of our snowmobiles! Also, we are going to be two pilots to test this machine. I weigh about 80 kg (175 lbs) and Louis Perron… is about… euh 1,70 m tall (5’7”). So, two different formats and riding styles.
What about the engine? A 2-cylinder 2-stroke 600 cc that uses a traditional technology which was modified in order to make it cleaner and more efficient. Oil injection is electronic. Nice innovation! I can’t wait to give you my impressions and more details on this element!
It is interesting to see all these innovations offered by manufacturers. They present various solutions to improve their products. Competition is tough.
Let’s take a look at the offer on today snowmobile market. We can note many components that present differences : type of engine (2 or 4-stroke, and even turbo), fuel injection (carburetor, electronic or direct injection), front or rear suspensions, and even power steering on some models, and there are so many more!
Such a wide variety of innovations is not seen often at the same period of time! For example, maybe you have known the snowmobile of the 90’s. Engineering was not very particular! All manufacturers only offered 2-stroke engines with carburetor, offered the same uncomfortable riding position (or at least, non-ergonomic), offered the same type of front and rear suspensions, etc. Of course, there were some differences. If I remember correctly, colors were different from one manufacturer to the other!
Maybe, not too soon I hope, are we going to live a new era where all manufacturers will offer the same products, but for the moment, I invite you to keep on reading our articles because we have a lot to present to you as manufacturers offer a huge variety of products.
