Hybrid snowmobile purists know that there’s more to riding than the lines on their map. Adventure can be found just as easily by following your instincts as by following a GPS. And the snowmobiler behind the wheel of a Ski-Doo Backcountry 2021 won’t even have to choose between the two.
We know that true adventurers don’t have a destination, but sometimes they need a little help finding their way back after the adventure is over. That’s why snowmobilers who choose the Backcountry X and X-RS models can choose to have access to standard GPS navigation right from their dashboard*, thanks to the new large, 7.8″ wide color LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity and compatible apps like GPS, music, headset-to-headset communication and more. This is in addition to all the incredible features that make up the ultimate adventure, like the cMotion rear suspension, adjustable skis and Ski-Doo’s exclusive SHOT start system.
Every ride on a Ski-Doo Backcountry starts with the REV Gen4 platform – the most dynamic snowmobile platform in the industry. Agile and maneuverable, it responds to the rider’s every move to provide effortless maneuverability in deep snow and precision trail riding.
Under the seat is the specialized cMotion suspension, recognized as the industry standard for 50-50 hybrid suspensions. It’s good at soaking up the worst of the bumps and making the bumps disappear from the trail, but it’s also perfect for crisscrossing the powder and slaloming through the tight woods. With the confident, high-performance RAS 3 front suspension, snowmobilers will be hard-pressed to find terrain the 2021 Backcountry won’t like.
Le tout est propulsé par le Rotax 850 E-TEC, le Rotax 600R E-TEC ou le nouveau Rotax 600 EFI, un choix de trois moteurs ultra légers, chacun avec des réponses en tête de sa catégorie et une économie de carburant à la fine pointe de l’industrie pour vous offrir des aventures remplies d’émotions, qui durent et qui durent.
In 2021, even more snowmobilers will be able to experience the 50-50 hybrid adventure with the new Backcountry Sport. This new entry-level vehicle in the hybrid snowmobile market offers all the benefits of the dynamic REV Gen4 platform and the updated Rotax 600 EFI two-stroke engine, with a focus on reliability and ease of ownership. It’s the perfect choice to start exploring winter off the beaten path.
*The 7.8-inch gauge is only available with the 850 E-TEC engine with electric start.

2021 BACKCOUNTRY X-RS
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW For Backcountry X-RS 2021 snowmobilers, terrain and conditions are secondary factors. They’re ready to follow the adventure wherever it takes them, and to overcome whatever obstacles it throws at them. Whether it’s taming powder in the backcountry or slaloming down bumpy trails, they’re ready. So is the Backcountry X-RS.
As much a trail devourer designed for racing as it is a powder beast, the Backcountry X-RS is brimming with versatility and all-around capability thanks to the ultra-dynamic REV Gen4 platform, which is as maneuverable in powder as it is stable on groomed trails. Rugged features like the flatter, reinforced RS running boards and KYB Pro shocks allow the snowmobiler to dominate rough terrain without worry, and the long track provides a high degree of flotation when the adventure moves into the powder.
X-RS snowmobilers can combine the cMotion hybrid rear suspension and raised rail with a 146- or 154-inch track for impressive off-trail flotation and precision handling, no matter how deep the snow. It’s the perfect setup for the snowmobiler who can spend an hour dominating the bumps on the trail before deciding to completely change styles and slalom through a technical glade for a short hour.
The cMotion combines with the RAS 3 front suspension and KYB Pro 36 easy-adjust shocks to allow the rider to adjust to the challenges of the terrain. Reassuring on rough terrain, the X-RS grips tight corners with ease for effortless trail control.
Whether a snowmobiler decides to hit the trails or head out in search of powder, he or she knows they can come back with confidence thanks to the new optional 7.8″ wide full-color display. In addition to easy access to essential vehicle information, Bluetooth connectivity gives riders access to integrated applications such as GPS navigation, headset-to-headset communication, music and more.
It’s easy to see why X-RS enthusiasts want to make the ride last! And with the Rotax 850 E-TEC unleashing incredible power with every stroke of the throttle, who could blame them? Transferring that industry-leading power is the dynamic pDrive drive pulley and the new QRS Vent Plus driven pulley, featuring a fixed pulley and a movable pulley with pawls to maximize airflow throughout the clutch compartment and ensure consistent performance. It’s these details that give Ski-Doo snowmobilers the ultimate advantage, anywhere on the snow.
