If you are the type of snowmobiler who looks for comfort and who sometimes likes to give a nice snowmobile ride to family members and friends, you could certainly be a pilot of the Touring 2-up snowmobile type. Here are the top 3 in the industry…
Arctic Cat
The Arctic Cat Pantera has proven its comfort and reliability since a long time and it is no exception for 2017. The suspension and motorization provide softness and the machine is fully equipped. My favorite feature is the additional rear fuel tank of 16,28 l that gives a very interesting gas mileage.
Arctic Cat offers many models with different motorizations and equipments to meet any budget. The Bearcat Utility model can also be convenient for 2-up rides.
BRP Ski-Doo
The Ski-Doo Grand Touring is probably the top in comfort. With the rMotion rear suspension and on the SE edition, with the Air Controled Suspension (ACS), (my highlight for this snowmobile), you can ride long distances in total comfort. This year, Ski-Doo added the iTC technology to its 1200 cc engine; it offers 3 driving modes and thus, increases the time of response of this big engine.
Your dealer offers many models to suit all budgets and BRP also offers other models in the Sport-Utility category. Choices are endless…
Yamaha
Since a few years now, the japanese manufacturer offers the Venture in the Touring 2-up category. The reliability of the legendary 4-stroke engine of 1049 cc is proven and this year, the YCC-T Yamaha chip controlled throttle has been added to offer 3 riding modes. I really liked the electric power steering that reduces the fatigue felt by the pilot on a long-distance ride.
The legendary VK540 Multi-Purpose model is back this year. Yamaha also offers other models to meet the requirements and budgets of all Yamaha fans.
These three manufacturers know very well how to attrack and satisfy 2-up snowmobile riders by adding comfort, power and many small elements appreciated by these pilots. Whether you want to introduce your friends to our sport or you want to ride with family members, the Touring 2-up snowmobile is still very popular and represents a large share of the market.
