PRODUCT PROS

When choosing a snowmobile, it is important to choose a sled based on your experience level to have the best experience on the snow. Some snowmobiles have beginner-friendly features such as mid-sized chassis or optimized seating position to make it easier to control. Meanwhile, advanced riders can opt for higher performance sleds with engines with higher horsepower based on their skill level.

There are a variety of types of snowmobiles based on the type of snow conditions you typically ride in. Whether you prefer to ride in deeper snow in the backcountry or prefer to be on a groomed trail, it is important to select the sled with the features that match your preferred riding style to have the best experience.

If you are intending to use your snowmobile for other activities besides recreational riding, it is important to choose a snowmobile that best matches your needs. For example, widetrack and sport utility snowmobiles offer versatility with towing capabilities for utility applications or for ice fishing and other outdoor activities.

When looking at the name of a snowmobile, there are often numbers in the name that can mean various things. For example, for Polaris snowmobiles, an 850 INDY XCR 136 means that the snowmobile has a 850 Patriot engine on the INDY XCR platform with a 136" track length.
