Trial of the new Ski-Doo – GTX 1200 4-TEC 2009

At the end of January 2008, BRP unveiled to the media the Ski-Doo 2009 models in Huntsville, Ontario.  And we had the opportunity to test the brand new GTX 1200          4-TEC.  This new version of the GTX is driven by the powerful 3-cylinder 4-stroke Rotax engine.
