Rotax 600R E-TEC technology
BRP combines the lightweight and precise REV Gen4 platform with the Rotax 600R E-TEC to increase the enjoyment of snowmobilers in the 600 cc class. In Austria and Canada, BRP’s engineering team was tasked with creating a new, narrow 600cc engine design for the REV Gen4 platform, with the same goals that governed the design of the 850 E-TEC: more power, exceptionally dynamic response and top-of-the-line reliability, while maintaining the E-TEC engines’ reputation for supreme efficiency and durability.
The 600R E-TEC develops 125 hp* and uses the most advanced 2-stroke technologies in the industry, borrowed from the 850 E-TEC. This combination has allowed BRP to create the most dynamic 600cc engine on the snowmobile market.
