More of a good thing
The new ACE isn’t the only thing up Ski-Doo’s sleeve for 2014, it moves more of its trail-oriented models to the XS chassis, including its wild child, the top-of-the-line X-RS. Also look for the MXZ TNT, Renegade Adrenaline, Renegade Backcountry, GSX LE and Expedition Sport models in the XS chassis introduced last year and featuring restyled exterior panels that provide better wind protection, and look newer and more refined.
A 137-inch rMotion suspension expands the longer rMotion into several additional sleds, including the GSX SE and LE along with the Grand Touring SE and LE models.
In the off-trail and mountain segments Ski-Doo puts more of its machines into the XM chassis that debuted last year with new body styling and offering Ski-Doo’s exclusive tMotion suspension that makes sidehilling easier. The Freeride 154 and 146 models will now be using the XM platform, including tMotion and the FlexEdge track that allows the track’s outer edges to flex up, again giving these long-tracks increased traction with better contact on the snow.
The Summit SP and Sport models also get the tMotion rear suspension and FlexEdge track. However, the Freeride 137, with its shorter 137-inch track will use the rMotion suspension in back because Ski-Doo says its buyers spend just a bit more time on trails than off. The rMotion is Ski-Doo’s best trail suspension.
