When it comes time to choose a snowmobile that meets all our needs, it can sometimes be difficult to find one that truly lives up to expectations. I’m the type of rider who constantly looks to maximize fun, performance, versatility, and efficiency. I’m based in Centre-du-Québec, and when I think about buying a personal snowmobile, […]
There’s a difference between playful… and planted. Between light… and locked in. Between flickable… and flat-out unshakeable. The 2027 Lynx Shredder RE 3,700 850 E-TEC Turbo R doesn’t beg for attention. It doesn’t try to be the lightest-feeling sled in the parking lot. It doesn’t scream “look at me” with smoke and mirrors. It just charges […]
A Full Season in the Chic-Chocs There are snowmobiles you test. And there are snowmobiles you learn to master. The 2026 Ski-Doo Summit X with Expert package, 165″ track, and 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine clearly falls into the second category. When I first got on it, I knew this wouldn’t be a forgiving machine. […]
Before getting into the heart of the matter, we would like to thank the dealership Grégoire Sport for the loan of this test snowmobile. Their collaboration makes it possible to test machines in real trail conditions. As you may know, last spring marked a turning point for the industry. In April, a group of investors […]
My snowmobile season was once again cut short this year due to a jaw injury. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to ride as much as I would have liked with my 2026 Renegade X-RS. Still, I managed to log close to 1,500 km this winter! I rode mostly on Bas-Saint-Laurent club trails, which gave me a solid […]
Finding a snowmobile capable of handling trail riding, performing in off-trail conditions, and taking on real utility work once meant making constant compromises. Today, that line is increasingly blurred, particularly thanks to the new generation of 20-inch-wide tracks. With the 850 TITAN Adventure Ultimate 2026, Polaris delivers a modern vision of versatility without sacrificing power. Built […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to test the 650 TITAN Adventure 2025 from Polaris on the trails around Mont-Laurier. I must say the experience was simply convincing. The American manufacturer continues refining its utility lineup, and this utility snowmobile positions itself as a machine capable of meeting the needs of trail enthusiasts as well as riders […]
After a rather early start to the season in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, I was able to begin my test of the 2026 Renegade X-RS 900 ACE Turbo R. I went out a few times during the second-to-last week of December. Early-season conditions were not ideal, with a lack of snow in several areas. Still, it […]
There are test days when you step off a snowmobile and think, “OK… that was really cool!” That is exactly what happened to me with Polaris. At SnowShoot, I tested three snowmobiles, each with its own intended purpose. Honestly, I enjoyed all three machines. In this article, I explain what impressed me about each of […]
