2012 Ski-Doo Snowmobiles Introduced

Not only an alternative to your regular two-wheled ride during winter, but also loved by many others for the thrill and excitement it brings, the snowmobile is gaining more and more popular each year. The latest product offering comes from Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), who have just revealed their 2012 Ski-Doo snowmobile line-up.

Launched to an audience composed of North American, Russian, Japanese and Chinese dealers, the new line-up comes with new models and a full array of state-of-the-art features, all designed to appeal to a broad owner base and new entrants to the sport of snowmobiling.

Leading the innovations is the rMotion rear suspension, which will be available on the Ski Doo MX Z X-RS and MX Z X models for 2012. BRP also offers new models with three different track length packages: 154”, 146” and 137” (392, 371, and 348 cm), all featuring the REV-XP RS chassis, KYB Pro 40 shocks and other features.

In the utility segment, the Ski-Doo Skandic SWT sled moves to the REV-XU platform, making the 2012 Ski-Doo snowmobiles 100% built on the REV-X platform. The new Skandic SWT model boasts a 156 x 24 inch track (391 x 61 cm), six percent more fuel capacity and 52 fewer pounds (24 kg), as well as new styling and a flexible riding position.

New for 2012, BRP is offering a choice of three engine options with the Ski-Doo GSX SE model: the 4-TEC 1200, E-TEC 600 H.O. and the E-TEC 800R engines.

“The 2012 line-up caps off a decade of innovative product introductions,” declared Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager for the International division. “BRP is enhancing the consumer value proposition around the globe and this new line-up will unlock the potential for our selling networks to capitalize on the industry rebound.”
