True 50-50 hybrid snowmobilers are unable to limit themselves to one way of snowmobiling. Every ride on a 2022 Ski-Doo Backcountry starts with the REV Gen4 platform – the most dynamic snowmobile platform in the industry. Agile and maneuverable with its engine balanced in the center of the frame, it responds to the rider’s every move for effortless handling in deep snow and precision trail riding. The open cockpit design allows the rider to move freely and adopt the riding style they prefer. The platform makes it easy to transition from sitting to standing, as well as forward and backward riding to carve powder, all in a very natural way.
Suspension is especially important to provide the versatility that snowmobilers demand. That’s why we have the cMotion suspension under the tunnel. Specially designed for hybrid models, it combines the best of the trail characteristics of the rMotion with the decoupled deep snow benefits of the tMotion. It is now the reference suspension in the world of 50-50 hybrid snowmobiles. It’s good at soaking up the worst of the bumps and taking the bumps out of the trail, but it’s also perfect for crisscrossing powder and slaloming through tight woods. And with the confidence and capability of the RAS 3 front suspension with adjustable ski spacing, snowmobilers will be hard-pressed to find terrain the Backcountry 2022 won’t like.
It’s all powered by the Rotax 850 E-TEC, Rotax 600R E-TEC or Rotax 600 EFI, a choice of three ultra-lightweight engines, each with class-leading response and industry-leading fuel economy to ensure emotion-filled adventures that last and last.
Whether plotting a new route or finding their way home, Backcountry X and X-RS snowmobilers can count on their factory-installed* dashboard GPS navigation to make the job easier. Navigation is accessible on the large, 7.8″ wide color LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity and compatible applications, such as music, headset-to-headset communication, weather and more.
*The 7.8-inch display is only available with the 850 E-TEC engine with electric start.

2022 Ski-Doo Backcountry X-RS
AVAILABLE IN SPRING ONLY
OVERVIEW
The Backcountry X-RS snowmobiler doesn’t watch the weather, and he doesn’t worry about conditions or terrain. He’s ready to attack and conquer whatever the day throws at him. Whether it’s taming powder in the backcountry or slaloming down rough and bumpy trails, it’s ready. So is the Backcountry X-RS.
Drawing on race-proven technologies and designs in deep snow, the Backcountry X-RS offers a high degree of versatility and capability to tackle any situation. For starters, the ultra-dynamic REV Gen4 platform with center-balanced engine and open cockpit is especially easy to angle for carving powder and stays flat on hardpack trails. Rugged features like the flatter, reinforced RS running boards and KYB PRO shocks allow the rider 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 track with a 146- or 154-inch track for impressive off-trail flotation and remarkable response on twisty trails. With the combination of the split damping ratios and progressive damping of the rMotion with the decoupled dynamics of the tMotion, the cMotion is an ideal choice for snowmobilers who like to spend time hitting the bumps on the trail, then switch to technical slalom in the woods.
The cMotion combines with the RAS 3 front suspension with adjustable ski spacing and KYB PRO 36 R Easy-Adjust shocks to allow the rider to adjust to the challenges of the terrain. Reassuring on rough terrain, the X-RS grips tight turns with ease for effortless control on the trail.
Snowmobilers who like to explore by knowing where they are and where they’re going will love the available large 7.8″ wide color LCD display. In addition to easy access to essential vehicle information, Bluetooth connectivity gives them access to integrated applications like navigation, headset-to-headset communication, music and more.
The Rotax 850 E-TEC provides instant response and peak power with every touch of the throttle. Transferring this industry-leading power is the dynamic pDrive drive pulley and the QRS Vent Plus driven pulley, which features a fixed pulley and a movable pulley with pawls to maximize airflow throughout the clutch chamber and ensure consistent performance. The CVC transmission features an innovative belt monitoring system that informs the driver of any potential belt problems. It’s these details that give Ski-Doo snowmobilers the ultimate advantage, on any terrain and in any conditions.
PLATEFORM
REV Gen4 Platform: The REV Gen4 hybrid platform provides effortless handling on and off the trail. It’s precise in turns and confident on bumpy trails, and its centralized mass makes for a nimble and fun ride that reacts instantly to the rider’s commands when riding off-road.
SUSPENSION
cMotion rear suspension: The cMotion inherits the best features of the trail rMotion and the mount tMotion. With its progressive travel ratio, it is specifically designed for hybrid use, truly 50-50.
