2025 Ski-Doo Rumors and Predictions

[Frankthetank79]

Care to SPECULATE on what one of those HINTS might be??

G5 Master Edition
I hope for a tapered tunnel, new spindle design, narrower stronger handlebars (after wrecking my stockers and running aftermarket I get why so many guys change them from new), follow Polaris with a 3.25 track. Perhaps better exhaust? I mean if Jaws can get 20hp out of just a y pipe and pipe not sure why Doo would leave that on the table. 32” a-arms seems like a next step. DS5 ski?

G6 Chassis wish list. I think with the G6 we need a major change like the Rev was. Something that changes the direction of snowmobiling for the long haul. Rear skid suspension has been the same operating principle for many decades (Sorry cat Alpha Rail wasent it [emoji23]). Small improvements and changes have made it better obviously but the overall operation of it has remained the same maybe there will be something revolutionary there idk.


Getting the chaincase and rotor out of the foot wells ( i realize that would mean a whole new tunnel chassis design), narrower and more slimmed down chassis. More efficient cooling less snowpack on the tunnel (G5 is good but snow still builds up on back of running boards and chaincase area) perhaps an 858,880,901 or whatever it will be the 850 is getting long in the tooth and will be a decade old by the time the G6 comes out.

I can’t tell if Doo is really hiding a new sled or showing off their new sled cover?

Nothing really stands out in that pic as being different than the current model, but who knows?

Which makes me think it’s a new/updated motor.

850R?
908?
New ETEC Gen2 tech with belt drive?

Or just a new version of Doo’s 2-stroke oil?

It's probably just me, but the lug pitch and lug height don't look as aggressive as I expected.

 

[snow-doo]

Artificial intelligence,really no sled there at all

Think its a Backcountry xrs turbo

I agree. This is the kind of post I was expecting when I opened a thread about 2025 improvements and predictions. More along the lines of actual performance improvements. Power delivery, handling, clutching, weight, etc. Instead, we get the bulk of discussion on weather we would be able to stream Taylor Swift across the ipad mounted to the dash.

A big bore version, like Big John's 921 kit would be nice to compete with the 9R sleds.
I realize its not for everybody, especially since the factory turbo is a fan favorite.

100% AGREE on that little issue

Hard to say for sure but that front end (hood, glove box) looks WAY different than a G5... much more angular, taller too. Seat and snow flap make me think crossover but who knows?

I went and threw a sheet over my 24 and it doesn't look like that.

A new Backcountry XRS Turbo perhaps?

I'd say it looks pretty much identical to a backcountry.

I predict snocheck sales to be at an all time low.

I think Cat is probably the only company with anything really new this year. 2026 or 2027 we may see something semi-new from Doo.

think we might see the return of THREE YEAR WARRANTIES?

I hope you are correct, I am looking at a sled in my garage with 350 miles, horrible winter, and my warranty runs out this Dec. I cannot justify in upgrading if it’s the same ole BNG and minor tweaks. I may be looking into extending the warranty to keep a good resale when it’s time to order.

Maybe its electric motor.
