The array of options available on the market is both exciting and confusing. Especially those who have no experience in riding snowmobiles may find it hard to decide which model is right for them.
Before making a final decision, consider the following factors that will help you narrow down the scope of suitable options.
1. Determine what type of areas you want your sled to take on. Generally, they fall into four major categories:
- Mountain sleds. They are designed to deal with mountainous terrains and plenty of snow. What makes them stand out among other versions is powerful engines that deliver an unsurpassed riding experience if you decide to head into the backcountry.
- Trail sleds, or entry-level snowmobiles. They don’t really allow the rider to swerve off the trail and challenge more difficult terrains, which means you shouldn’t expect much power from them. The most you can get out of such a vehicle is around 70HP.
- Crossover sleds. They go from a groomed trail to the backcountry and back with ease, which allows you to dominate both in dense woods and less challenging spaces, regardless of weather conditions.
- Utility sleds. They are used for work purposes, which means you can bring along plenty of supplies, tow heavy loads and deliver goods
