Sled Heads
I have been out of snowmobiling for 20 years.
Decided I want to get back into it with my wife. We live in SE Wisconsin. There are trails right from our house plus we can drive to the north woods and ride for days.
I am not planning to go out the mountains or race on the frozen lakes or river. Mainly trail ride with the wifey.
I grew up on Arctic Cats ( Panthers, el Tigres and wildcats ) We had a 5 year span with Polaris XCR 800 triples late 1990s.
There is a huge improvement on sleds today.
I hear Ski Doo is awesome and e tecs and the 900 turbo 4 stroke are great.
What do you recommend for brand and model ( for my use)
I was thinking about the Ski Doo Back Country 600 EFi. Its budget priced but I am concerned about possible lack of power from the 85 HP engine and its not the etec. Options are some what limited. As the inventory sucks right now.
The Arctic Cat dealer has some 2022 inventory but I am looking at Riot 8000 models at double the price of the Back Country.
