Snowmobile reviews

Winter 2025 was an emotional rollercoaster for me. The season took its time laying down a proper white carpet to enjoy one of my favourite activities. On top of that, the wait felt endless, as I had a brand-new snowmobile just sitting in my garage, ready to roar. And this wasn’t just any snowmobile—it came with […]

For the second year in a row, Polaris gave me the opportunity to test a mountain snowmobile. This time, I rode the Patriot 9R RMK Khaos 155. Designed for thrill seekers, this machine stands out for its deep snow performance and enhanced agility. This review offers an overview of the sled’s features. It highlights four […]

Yes, winter is already coming to an end, and it’s time to give my final review of the 2024 Polaris Patriot Boost INDY VR1. I had such an amazing season behind the handlebars of this incredible machine! The main strengths of this trail snowmobile are its comfort, great agility, outstanding handling and efficient suspension, not to […]

After a full season of riding the 2025 Polaris Patriot Boost RMK Khaos 155, it’s time to take an in-depth look at the enhancements and modifications Polaris introduced for this model year. With a 7-pound weight reduction compared to the 2024 model, Polaris has focused on refining performance, handling, and rider experience. Some changes are […]

An Impressive First Ride on the Trail My first ride with the 2025 Renegade Adrenaline with Enduro package took place in the stunning Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. To my great delight, a 20 cm snowfall had just blanketed the ground before I set off. For this ride, I focused more on the suspension’s behaviour and the sled’s handling. […]

For a second year in a row, I have the pleasure of enjoying winter on a Polaris snowmobile. This season, I’m riding the 2024 Patriot 9R RMK Khaos Slash 155. Because of the lack of snow last winter, I wasn’t really able to push this beast to its limits. Also, this year, my sled went from […]

This season has been marked by unpredictable weather conditions. Today, I’m bringing you the third part of the test of the new version of the Polaris 650 TITAN Adventure. After assessing its utility capabilities and trail behaviour, the heavy snowfalls in February in the Monts-Valin gave me the perfect playground. As mentioned in my previous […]

I’ve had the opportunity to test ride the 2025 Ski-Doo Backcountry X-RS, a crossover snowmobile whose capabilities are highly appreciated here in Quebec. The previous version, built on the REV Gen4 chassis, was, in my opinion, one of the best machines to take on our winters. Its longer track and more aggressive lug configurations made […]

The American manufacturer Polaris is trying to carve out a place for itself in the four-stroke engine category with the 2024 Polaris ProStar S4 INDY Adventure. To do so, it has introduced its ProStar S4 engine—already proven in Polaris ATVs and side-by-sides—into certain snowmobile models. After riding over 2,000 km of trails, I’m ready to share […]

After exploring the utility capabilities of my test sled, I dedicated the second part of my winter to trail riding. Can utility and trail touring go hand in hand? Is this vehicle truly suited for long-distance rides? Is comfort sacrificed for versatility? These are just a few of the questions I’ll attempt to answer following […]
