Full Season sleds
As for the full season models, you may recall that the TNT models last year all came with just a 1.0-inch lugged track. This year that is changed to a 1.25-inch lugged RipSaw. The in-season MXZs get the HPG Plus aluminum front shocks and the X models get the HPG Plus R shocks with easy-adjust rebound. Engine options for the in-season sleds include the 800 and 600 E-TECs, the 4-TEC 1200, the ACE 600 4-stroke, the Rotax 600 carb (formerly the 500SS), and the 550 fan.
Also the TNT and MXZ Sport ACE 600 and 550 fan sleds get a new eDrive (primary) pulley that’s lightweight and made for lower power engines with a priority on fuel efficiency. The sport sleds also get the 1.25-inch lugged track. Other than that, these sleds remain the same.
Renegades still come in X, Adrenaline, and Sport models and the more adventuresome Backcountry.
The X-model Renegade gets electric start standard, including the 800 and 600 E-TEC and 1200 4-TEC. The Renegade X also has the updated REV-XP X seat we discussed earlier, a new 13cm riser block, the Ice Ripper track option, and six possible graphics packages. The full season Adrenaline gets a new Brembo brake with stainless steel line and is available with the same engine options as the X model. The Renegade Sport gets the new Brembo brake and line, eDrive pulley and QRS driven (secondary) and is available with the ACE 600 or 550 fan powerplants.
The Renegade Backcountry X has the new single-keel Pilot DS (deep snow) skis for better sidehilling. These are narrow, thin, stiff and have boot grips. The Backcountry also gets electric start and the REV-XP X seat. You’ll get the HPG Plus R front shock on this with rebound damping, and the KYB Pro 36 rear shock with high/low speed compression adjustability and an HPG plus center shock. As on the short-track sleds these shocks are all rebuildable/revalvable. Track choices for this spring order sled include a 16x137x1.75 PowderMax or 16x137x1.5 Charger and there are 6 new wraps too!
The standard Backcountry has the new Pilot DS skis and Brembo brake and line. It comes with the HPG plus front shocks and HPG rear. It is now available with either the 800 or 600 engine options and has the 16x137x1.75-inch PowderMax track.
Looking at the new GSX lineup there are only a few changes. All the plushly calibrated GSX sleds get the 1.25-inch RipSaw track and updated Brembo brake and line, but the SE is now available with the 1200 4-TEC OR the 800 E-TEC OR the 600 E-TEC. All the GSX sleds also have a big new 6.6-gallon tunnel bag.
