The new motor uses a single 52mm throttle body with two fuel injectors per cylinder. The injectors shoot directly into the transfer port when the exhaust port is closed, eliminating the loss of fresh charge out the exit. This is how the engine vastly improves its emissions and fuel economy.
A central computer keeps tabs on vitals within the engine and ambient conditions to optimize engine performance. Additionally, Rotax built a knock sensor into the engine to keep it healthy. If the sensor detects problems, it will retard the timing. If it senses the engine is getting too hot, it automatically enriches the fuel delivery. The central brain also controls when the new e-RAVE valves open and close.
Rotax claims a 50 percent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions and 25 percent better fuel economy from its new mill, as compared with its standard 800 twin.
Aside from the new engine technology, the Grand touring 800 SE also sports new rear suspension goodies. The SC-10 III skid is stretched out to 136 inches to covering tandem touring applications. The SE features the next generation of the Air Ski-Doo suspension, with a new Auto-Air shock that sets its rate electronically, without driver input.
The GT 800 SE is available in two-tone blue, which is Ski-Doo's signature color scheme for clean technology sleds. It can also be found in black or a rich autumn orange.
Priced at $9,699, the GT SE is among this season's most expensive sleds. But if you're a high mileage touring type who wants the latest two stroke technology, this is your sled.
