¦ MXZ, Renegade, Backcountry ... all in
You can get three engine packages in the MXZ. These include the old 600 carb motor (500ss), the new 600R E-TEC, and the 850 E-TEC. You can choose from the top spring order-only rough trail X-RS and the top trail X model, as well as the more standard in-season Blizzard package and TNT models. The value-conscious Sport model is also available in the Rev-XP chassis with the SC-5 rear suspension.
The X-RS, X and Blizzard are all in the 129-inch rMotion rear suspension, and like previous years the major difference is the shock packages and options. The X-RS has the big KYB Pro 40 easy adjust piggyback racing shocks in back and Pro 36R shocks up front. You can get all the adjustability you want on this sled, but not much changed from last year. Same thing goes for all the MXZ sleds, they get the same shocks as last year. The X-RS, X, and Blizzard all get new color options and you can now get each with the 600R motor, the updated pDrive primary clutch is standard. The drive clutch has dual rollers instead of the sliding buttons. This is a “maintenance-free” clutch and the fixed sheave is finned and there is a new clutch cover. This will keep things cool and enhance airflow.
We already broke the news on the Renegade packages being available with the new 900 ACE 4-stroke Turbo motor, but the Renegade 4-stroke sleds get a new trail seat too with storage. Also all of them get the updated pDrive primary clutch. Plus, there is an updated mechanical reverse for the 4-stroke Renegade that is located near the right hand side panel. You can only get the Renegade X-RS in the 850 E-TEC or 900 ACE Turbo options. The X model on down you can get the 600R motor option.
The Enduro gets updated to the Gen4 platform with the RAS 3 front suspension, a new heated trail seat with storage, a new glove box, and more. The Enduro and Adrenaline versions of the Renegade are available with four motor options including the 850 E-TEC, 600R E-TEC, 900 ACE Turbo and 900 ACE. Finally, the Renegade Sport stays in the XS chassis and comes with the 600 ACE or carbed motors.
