I Never Would Have Thought That…

If they had told me that one day, I would catch it, I would have laughed in their faces and said it was impossible because I had been vaccinated against it … but no, I caught it. It seems that the vaccine has its time limits. Just so you know, I'm talking about the Spring Fever that many snowmobilers catch.

I Never Would Have Thought That… Snowmobile - Snowmobiler

Upon returning from a nice snowmobile trip back in mid-February, the first symptoms appeared as I read an email from my dealer. Evenings on my computer searching and comparing. Nights dreaming about one model or another and waking up with a sudden jolt… I couldn’t take it anymore, and I had to take care of myself. Taking my courage in both hands, I went to my dealer to get the appropriate care.

My salesman had targeted my disease well and had placed the cure prominently in the showroom. A 2021 Renegade Enduro 900 ACE and it was bright blue and black as I had seen in my dreams, wow! …. I was already feeling better.

Before giving me the remedy (received upon signing the bottom of the contract), he explained what it is made up of.

  • Snowmobile classed in the Hybrid category
  • 137-inch Ice Riper XT 1.25 track
  • 95 HP engine, but up to 165 HP with turbo. For me 95 HP is more than enough
  • rMotion pneumatic suspension adjustable to 5 positions with the fingertip
  • Gen 4 platform that gives an incomparable driving position
  • Heated seat
  • Heated handle and thumb
  • New digital gauge
  • Pilot TS Skis (adjustable runner depth)   

To this, I decided to add an 11-liter fuel caddy (held by the LinQ mounting kit), a bag, mittens, Rouski ski wheels, snow scrapers and finally, an adjustable windshield. It’s done, I took care of myself, but I have to do my quarantine now and wait until next October to receive my snowmobile.

I chose this snowmobile because it is a perfect fit for the type of snowmobiler I am, i.e. I enjoy trail riding and riding long distances. I also like to travel and discover new regions, so I need a reliable, economical, and comfortable snowmobile.

The delivery has been completed; it is now in my garage. I cuddle her, tell her she’s beautiful, when I sit on her I get chills, I have to pull myself together… I can’t wait for Mother Nature to lay out a beautiful fine white carpet so that I can take her out.

I don’t know how long it will take, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years … before this discomfort comes back, but I know how to treat it. I must admit that this is not the first time I have had this virus; I have had this snowmobiling passion for forty years. Maybe my next remedy will be made by another company, but it will surely be just as effective.
