Could a 400-Horsepower Engine Weighing Just 88-Pounds Be In Our Future?
Today’s modern snowmobile engine has come a long way since the days of the often-heavy multi-cylinder two-strokes outfitted with a chain of big round-slide carburetors. Tightening restrictions mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were one of the biggest reasons for the development of today’s modern engines. While at first most of us cringed at the ideas of clean...
Polaris Stays a Step Ahead With Rider-X and Interactive Display – Files for Patent Protection
By now you've likely already read reports from the crew here at OSM on just how much we dig the Polaris Interactive Digital Display (PIDD) and associated Rider-X application that debuted two seasons ago on their 2015 line of snowmobiles.

In the case of SnoPed designer Joey Ruiter, he went one step further and actually built his dreamy concept using parts from the infamous Chrysler SnoRunner,...
Polaris Rampage – Snowmobile Meets ATV Meets Tank, Is this the Ultimate Boondocker?
We received an interesting email this week from Polaris showing off their latest creation dubbed the Rampage. As Polaris puts it the vehicle is a true amphibious, all-terrain, all-season, global reaching platform. Think of it as one heck off a boon-docking buggy. The vehicle is currently deploy in support of Canadian Operation Nunalivut in the North Pole. You can...

The Most Talked About Sled for 2017…We Give the MXZX 850 REV Another Shake Down
No question, for the 2017 model year it’s the new Ski-Doo fourth generation REV platform and second generation ETEC 850 that has garnered most of the new model buzz thus far. With Ski-Doo’s spring early order session ending in just days (April 13th) we thought we should give the new platform and engine another look. In total we had...
