Each year, we consult our columnists and dealer staff of each brand for their informed advices about the best used snowmobiles of the past years and then, we produce a list of the selections.
This article presents the best choices of Polaris used snowmobiles in each category : Trail / Touring, Crossover, Mountain and Utility.
In the Trail / Touring category, the Rush lineup offers the best choices, with 600 or 800 cc engine. Their chassis and Pro-Ride rear suspension provide more comfort than expected on snowmobiles with such a trail performance. And this is why the Rush models are apart, a very appreciated comfort.

In the Crossover category, our choice is the Switchback Assault 144, mostly with the liquid-cooled 800 Cleanfire motorization. Its special rear suspension, but most of all its shocks with remote reservoirs provide a safe and comfortable handling in all conditions.

In the Mountain segment, we chose the PRO-RMK models. Since the 2013 production year, the snowmobiles are equipped with the QuickDrive drive system, of which inertia is highly reduced compared with traditional drive systems. Renowned for its flickability, it is particularly lightweight and narrow.

Finally, in the Utility category, we chose two models of the Indy lineup, mostly for the 2014 model : the 550 Voyager 144 and the Adventure 144. With the same motorization, different versions of the same Pro-Ride chassis and some other common features, these snowmobiles offer distinctive packages and more or less aggressive specifications regarding the track and the one or two-up seat.
