Ski-Doo, a brand under BRP Inc., has unveiled its Model Year 2027 snowmobile lineup. The company introduced a range of new and improved features and technologies designed to enhance the winter riding experience across various categories.
Ski-Doo's completely redesigned Skandic and Tundra utility models now utilize the REV Gen5 platform and uMotion rear suspension, promising superior comfort and versatility for work or recreation. The new Expedition LE, on the other hand, combines premium features with a more accessible price point. At the heart of the 2027 snowmobile lineup is the new Rotax 600RR E-TEC engine, which delivers class-leading power and faster throttle response while also reducing oil and fuel consumption. Ski-Doo's innovative Sport and Eco modes, along with Silent-Stop technology, provide added control and convenience.
