Formerly considered a specialized vehicle, the hybrid snowmobile has become, over the last few years, one of the most widespread vehicles in the industry. There are two reasons for this change. First, suspension and chassis designs have made off-trail riding easier and eliminated the disadvantages of longer tracks (originally designed to float on deep snow) in turns. Secondly, more and more snowmobilers are craving the adventure and thrill of off-trail exploration and wilderness riding. The versatility and freedom of hybrid snowmobiles, especially the renowned Ski-Doo Renegade models, make them one of the most important segments in the industry.
And while versatility remains their main attribute, consumers are looking for more specialized hybrid models – with a mix of trail and off-road features – that better suit their riding style. BRP meets their needs by offering three types of Ski-Doo Renegade snowmobiles:
- The trail-oriented Renegade models are similar to the MXZ models, with a longer track for the occasional off-trail ride, for added traction and to smooth out the ride over bumps.
- The Renegade Enduro has an adventurous spirit, with a wide range of technologies and settings that make performance trail rides as satisfying as off-road excursions.
- For snowmobilers who spend as much time having fun on the backcountry as they do slaloming through the powder, Ski-Doo offers the Renegade Backcountry
For 2018, BRP is offering even more Renegade models with the REV Gen4 platform and Rotax 850 E-TEC engine. This new, award-winning combination allows snowmobilers to ride the way they want to – a primary feature to satisfy all riding styles, on all types of terrain. And the remarkable drivetrain dynamics provide more control and precision to overcome bumps and obstacles.
The Renegade X-RS joins the Renegade X and Adrenaline packages with the REV Gen4/850 E-TEC combination. Like a motocross bike, the REV Gen4’s narrow, compact chassis is ideal for taming the bumps on busy, winding trails, and turns are made with surgical precision.

2018 Ski-Doo Renegade Backcountry X 850
Renegade Backcountry X completely redesigned. For 2018, BRP didn’t just move the Renegade Backcountry models to the REV Gen4 platform, we completely redesigned the snowmobiles in this growing segment. Our goal was to create the premium hybrid snowmobile that combines precise yet dynamic trail handling with effortless off-trail riding, all in a high-quality vehicle.
Most of these features are found at the heart of the REV Gen4 platform. Its narrow cockpit allows the operator to move freely, to lean easily into turns and to move easily from side to side while slaloming through trees. He can sit and stand in a very natural way. In addition, the narrow shape interacts ideally with the snow for easy turning and slalom. The centralization of mass and the rigidity of the frame allow the snowmobile to respond instantly and easily to the rider’s commands, whether on trails or in deep snow.
And to give it even more, Ski-Doo engineers designed two new suspensions. Up front, the RAS 3 provides superior performance, with a slightly narrower width than trail sleds to make it easier to lean into powder. In the rear, the new 371 cm (146″) cMotion suspension, as the name suggests, offers a cross between trail and mountain tMotion. It has excellent transfer for driving in deep snow, and its stiff front and rear arms provide confidence in turns. The curved rails increase performance, especially in turns and at high speeds.
The Rotax 850 E-TEC engine is at the heart of this snowmobile’s fun. Its instantaneous response lifts the skis over bumps and obstacles, and its power propels the vehicle through trails and powder. This doesn’t prevent casual rides or technical glades at low speeds, thanks to extremely linear and easily modulated power. Plus, its design focuses on reliability and durability using proven 4-stroke and diesel engine technologies.
At the cutting edge of technology and design, the 2018 Renegade Backcountry 850 E-TEC offers the best of all worlds – and the most premium hybrids in the snowmobile world.
