VALCOURT, QC, Feb. 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ - Ski-Doo, iconic brand of BRP
Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO), is releasing its Model Year 2026
snowmobiles that continue to improve the winter riding experience
for all riders. The lineup contains completely redesigned
Expedition models, deep snow models that are lighter with new
features including a 32-inch ski stance, redesigned entry level
models and enhancements that touch every segment.
"Our customers expect constant advancement and improvements
every year, even more than any other powersports product," said
Pascal Vincent, Director Global
Product Strategy, Snowmobiles. "It's recognizing and embracing the
passion of the customer mindset that drives Ski-Doo to keep pushing
further with new ideas and reinventing products, like you see with
the 32-inch ski stance on the Summit X with Expert package and the
redesign of the Expedition."
While the Ski-Doo Expedition models already led the wide-track
crossover segment, the newest iteration increases the gap
significantly. It moves onto the REV Gen5 platform that brings the
newest technologies and up-to-the-minute styling in addition to
increasing both comfort and performance. Versatility and
functionality are key for riders and the Expedition delivers thanks
in part to the new uMotion rear suspension for great on and
off-trail performance. This new suspension also brings unexpected
levels of comfort and capability. Versatility attributes are
extended with the Multi LinQ Plate to access the complete LinQ
accessory ecosystem, and the redesigned Cargo Box that lets owners
quickly and easily adapt their snowmobile to their needs day in and
day out. Buyers in this segment now have access to one of the most
complete and competent snowmobiles, plus a luxury look and
feel!
In the deep snow world, Ski-Doo models continue to offer
mountain riders targeted choices as the 2026 models evolve and push
concepts further. With lighter weight and a new industry leading
32-inch ski stance on the forward-thinking Summit X with Expert
package, it's clear product development doesn't rest at BRP.
Redesigned chassis components including shorter tunnels and heat
exchangers contribute to wet weight reductions on all Freeride and
Summit packages of up to 14 pounds for specific configurations -
with each change targeted to meet the intended riders' needs. The
Summit X features the most weight loss with the highest number of
lightweight components for increased agility and playfulness that
targets the largest cross section of deep snow riders.
The constant improvement continues across the lineup as spring
only available Renegade models get their own version of the RAS RX
front suspension for increased cornering prowess and stability.
Backcountry buyers now have a choice of narrow RAS X or wide RAS RX
front suspensions in most models, with the X-RS, X and Adrenaline
packages also featuring the Pilot RX skis for the wide option.
To cap off the 2026 lineup, all Sport and Neo models will move
to the REV Gen5 platform – delivering one of the finest riding
experiences at the most affordable prices. Refined performance with
ease of use and low levels of sound and vibration make for all day
enjoyment. The most current styling that includes LED lighting for
improved nighttime vision with top-of-the-line fit and finish
brings a sense of pride and sophistication to owners. This speaks
to the brand's commitment to make winter experiences the best they
can be for all riders.
On the connected riding experience, the Group Ride capability,
available in North America, takes
a step further in its development. It is now added to the built-in
GPS on snowmobiles equipped with the 10.25-inch touchscreen display
and can be used with or without a phone or network connection to
see other riders in your group. In addition to the intuitive Group
Ride function, riders can see topographic maps and snowmobile
trails,* view their position with compass orientation, record the
current trip, show or hide previous rides and experience enhanced
Vibe system communications. Those choosing to connect with the BRP
GO! application can access a richer experience with constant
improvements being added. The 10.25-inch display is available
across Ski-Doo's most popular segments and models so everyone can
enjoy 2026 enhancements.
