ITS HAMMER TIME AS RED BULL ANNOUNCES NEW SLEDHAMMER HILL CLIMB COMPETITION
They're calling it Sledhammers, but we call it a twisted version of a hillclimb meets snocross. Remember hillcross kids? The Red Bull event machine is back at it again, this time in Saint Donat, Quebec on April 14th. The event will feature head-to-head competition that will span 550-meters and ascend 110-meters. In addition to jumps and gated turns, racers...

19 DAYS OF NEW: 8 – YAMAHA THE SRX RETURNS FASTER THAN EVER
By now you know the SRX has returned, and the menacing blue beast is packed with a few tweaks to make the Sidewinder in SRX clothes even faster than last year’s speed champ. To gain more warp factor speed the new SRX now spins a shallow 1-inch lug Ripsaw track and touts a lowered ride height. To attain the...
POLARIS IS KING IN 2019 RMSHA HILL CLIMB CIRCUIT WITH EARLY SEASON DOMINATION
There are plenty of titles and class wins to be had in the near vertical world of snowmobile hill climb competition, but you don't need to be an expert to know when a particular brand is mopping up.

19 DAYS OF NEW: 7 – SKI-DOO RAPID ADJUST SKI STANCE
While you won’t find this trick feature on any 2019 models from Ski-Doo, this accessory is so simple and smart we simply had to make mention. The high-strength plastic lever allows you to adjust the width of your front ski stance in just seconds. Simply flip up the lever, slide the ski on the spindle to the desired width,...
19 DAYS OF NEW: 6 – POLARIS PRO CC REAR SUSPENSION
Could this signal the end of the break-through outside-the-tunnel Pro-XC suspension? While time will only tell, if the performance and positioning of this new traditional skid from Polaris says anything, we believe the end is in sight. The new suspension is very traditional in design and shares the long front arm set-up used in both the Pro-XC and IGX...
19 DAYS OF NEW: 5 – YAMAHA / ARCTIC CAT NEW CONTROLS
It’s the little things that sometime matter, and attending to attention to detail touch-points such as the handlebar controls can be a difference maker when plopping down nearly 15 big ones on a new buggy. The controls on Arctic Cat sleds (and Yamaha counterparts) were getting a bit long in the tooth, and with the need for a fresh...
HAS THE ELITE MET ITS MATCH? 332-HORSEPOWER SIDE-BY-SIDE SNOWMOBILE
The popularity of the Ski-Doo Elite and the vehicle’s two-seater, open cockpit design has intrigued sledders for the better part of 40-years. So much so, Ski-Doo resurrected the design on three different occasions. The last version was the most refined and powerful, with four-stroke power giving the twin-tracker, bucket seat buggy enough thrust to exceed 80mph on the hard...
19 DAYS OF NEW: 4 – ARCTIC CAT iACT / YAMAHA iQS SHOCKS
The marriage between Yamaha and Arctic Cat continues, and this means most of the hot new technical innovations for the coming winter can be found in both flavors. Our favorite is the new from the handlebar controlled iACT or IQS shock valving system. Think of it as FOX Quick Switch 3 shocks without the knob. Instead, both front suspension...
19 DAYS OF NEW: 3 – SKI-DOO 900 ACE TURBO
Rumors of infusing the three-cylinder 900 ACE engine with forced induction have been swirling about for some time. Thus, it wasn’t too shocking to finally see the “charged” motor in the line-up for 2019. According to Ski-Doo, this engine represents the first snowmobile specific turbo-charged four-stroke engine for the company, meaning no pieces were borrowed or adapted for the...
