It’s with great enthusiasm that the SledMagazine.com Team is expecting the arrival of the new 2011 Ski-Doo snowmobile as part of the long-term trials of SledMagazine.com. «For a 6th consecutive year, BRP and its brand Ski-Doo rely on the SledMagazine.com Team to test their products», proudly said Mr Marc Thibeault, vice-president, columnist and test pilot for the magazine. «In this post-recessionary year where the strenght of the canadian dollar asks the manufacturers for a tighter budget, we take pride in the fact that a company like BRP decides to invest in our magazine…», added the man who is so anxious to see the white gold pile up.
For this season, BRP chose to present the Renegade Backcountry to the readers of the north-eastern continent, the market specifically targeted by this model launched in 2010. Indeed, more and more enthusiasts like to ride off-trail. Unlike the western continent market, the eastern snowmobilers need hybrid snowmobiles that can perform on trails as well as in deep snow. This is precisely this segment of the market that the Backcountry is aiming at, along with offering different and very interesting features. We must remember that the model presented in long-term trials will be equipped with the new E-TEC 800R that develops more than 160 HP. So, it is a rendezvous in the next weeks for the opening of the long-term trials section with the 2011 E-TEC 800R Renegade Backcountry
