There’s always more to discover on every ride. Deep snow riders know it, and the 2021 Summit SP is their ticket to a ride that delivers more awesome adventure and epic memories with every powder turn, treeline and chute climb.
Effortless by nature, the REV Gen4 platform offers riders unmatched deep-snow agility and responsiveness that helps riders conserve energy allowing them to enjoy the ride that much longer—which is just what every rider wants.
Every rider also wants engines that deliver instant acceleration and reliable power that will take them to incredible views and create those epic moments that last a lifetime. SP riders have their choice of powerplants to do just that with Rotax 850 E-Tec or 600R E-Tec engines. Both offer addictive throttle response and class-leading power. Add in the Rotax reputation for efficiency and longevity, and Summit SP delivers those incredible memories in bunches.
Four 16-inch-wide track options are available on the in-season Summit SP spun around the capable tMotion rear suspension. They come in 146, 154, 165 or 175 inches with 146-165 available with 2.5-inch lugs and the 175 with 3-inch lugs.
The agile RAS 3 front suspension is cushioned with fully capable HPG shocks giving riders confident handling whether they’re in the deep powder or working their way along the trail to the next snow-covered playground. An updated ski spindle and stopper provide improved sidehill consistency in technical riding situations.
The ergonomics of the SP get some added improvements as well with smaller diameter handlebars and a new low mountain strap offering riders more comfort as they pilot their way to new winter moments that could only be delivered by a Ski-Doo Summit.
Platform
REV Gen4 platform: The open design of the REV Gen4 mountain platform allows riders to ride freely with their own style, attacking terrain as it suits them instead of the sled. Designed to be the most agile, responsive sled in the mountains, the side-to-side centralized mass creates a sled that’s ultra-responsive to rider input, making it easy to initiate sidehill and carving maneuvers even in the most technical terrain.
Suspension
tMotion rear suspension: The tMotion is both extremely agile and ultra-responsive to rider input. A simple shift in rider weight is all it takes for the sled move in the desired direction. A swiveling rear arm and split front arm allow the skid frame to flex laterally for easier roll up into a sidehill or carve. Rising-rate motion ratio adds capacity to handle big drops and comfort when riding the trail to get to the mountain. Optional adjustable limiter strap gives riders quick, easy choices in ride dynamics.
RAS 3 front suspension: Precise, predictable handling and outstanding bump absorption, even in harsh conditions, with state-of-the-art unequal length A-arm front suspension.
HPG shocks: High Pressure Gas shocks by KYB are extremely capable.
Key Features
Narrow, adjustable ski stance: Effortlessly roll the sled on edge with a 35.8-inch (91 cm) standard stance. Stable cornering on trails with the chassis’ low center of gravity. Stance can be easily widened to 37.4 inches (95 cm).
Pilot DS 3 skis: Precise control to easily hold sidehills in a ski specifically designed to work in tandem with the deeper and longer tracks. The Pilot DS 3 skis are a variation of the well-received Pilot DS 2 with a 12mm deeper keel offering an industry-exclusive removable ski tip extension: ride with it in deep dry snow conditions for flotation, ride without in crusty conditions to minimize tip-up.
NEW Lightweight ski spindle: Lightweight alloy spindle with revised geometry and new ski stopper to reduce ski drag and improve predictability in technical sidehills.

PowderMax Light track with FlexEdge (154 and up): 3.5-inch (9 cm) pitch reduces weight and increases performance by keeping more snow between the lugs for better traction and keeping the sled on top on the snow. Lug design is stronger and lighter also, combined with the 3.5 pitch it leads to an overall weight reduction of 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) on a 154 and 165 track with 2.5-inch lugs. Exclusive 16-inch (41-cm) wide design adds flotation and traction without sacrificing maneuverability. FlexEdge technology reduces the length of the fiberglass reinforcing rods to only 12 inches (31 cm) wide, enabling the edges to flex, which reduces the effort to initiate roll-up. Available in 2.5-inch (6.3 cm) lug height with 154 and 165 lengths. The 175 has 3.0 (7.63 cm) standard.
2.5-inch lug PowderMax track with FlexEdge (146): 16-inch (41-cm) wider design boosts flotation without sacrificing trail handling. PowderMax design with 2.5-inch (6.4-cm) lugs, and FlexEdge technology for added deep snow agility.
Tunnel design: More freedom for the rider to move thanks to the beveled shape allowing for narrow tank and seat. Open rear cap design eliminates drag in deep snow. Heat exchanger is integrated using cutting-edge friction stir welding manufacturing process for greater heat transfer, added strength and less weight.
pDrive primary clutch with clicker adjustment: Fast and friction-free dual rollers transfer torque in place of traditional sliding buttons. Oversize rollers with needle bearings, wide based flyweights and a shaft-on-shaft design emphasize smooth operation and long life. Clicker ramps allow easy adjustment for top rpm. Ultra-responsive shifting, impressive rpm consistency, lightweight and maintenance-free. Fixed sheave is finned to circulate more air, paired with the new CVT cover delivers better air flow and cooling.
Drive belt (850 E-Tec): PBO material and design enhanced drive belt durability in deep snow.
NEW QRS Vent driven clutch (850 E-Tec only): Finned fixed sheave promotes increased airflow through the CVT system to reduce operating temperature and maintain consistent performance.

Factory-Installed Options
SHOT engine starting technology: Push-button starting with nearly no added weight. After an initial pull-start, the engine charges an ultracapacitor. Pushing the handlebar SHOT button for subsequent starts uses that stored energy to turn the magneto into an electric motor that turns the crank. E-Tec technology then fires the engine to start. Eliminates nearly 20 lbs./9 kg compared to conventional electric start.
