So you really can’t lose with this improvement.ArcticFX Graphics exclusive 17mil ultra aggressive material has been specifically formulated for power sports applications and designed with revolutionary FLO-Technology, allowing for a simple, bubble-free install. The good news is, if you don’t like the narrower, 34″ ski stance, it can be adjusted back to the same 36″ width that all other Ski-Doo mountain sleds come with standard.

The suspension calibration has been adapted, which they say results in minimal negative trail performance, while off-trail performance (which is all we really care about anyway) is markedly improved. We haven’t ridden the MY2022 Expert ourselves to form our own opinion yet at the time of publication, but the team at BRP assures us that the narrower ski stance does not negatively affect the dynamic behaviour of the sled. This should have a pretty big impact on the ease of sidehill initiation and the ability to hold that through chop. New for 2022 is a narrower adjustable 34″ ski stance (technically 33.7″-35.4″ adjustable). Of course we know by now that the spring order only Expert Package has got a brimming set of mountain-specific features-more so than any other sled in the lineup. Let’s see what’s new with the king of the mountain lineup, first.

Let’s check out the 2022 Ski-Doo mountain snowmobile lineup, model by model. However, there are some significant changes and a new mountain-specific model to consider, called Summit Edge. So with the greatness of the 850 E-TEC Turbo well-established and many riders who still have not yet had the opportunity to experience it for themselves, it’s easy to see why we don’t expect a lot of changes from Ski-Doo for MY2022. And likely more will go in that direction after a full season of use (and abuse) in the hands of consumers without any significant issues cropping up-which is pretty amazing for a technology in its first year of production. Then for model year 2021, the 2-stroke turbo 850 found its way into the garages of many happy Ski-Doo customers. To set the stage, let’s first look back to when Ski-Doo surprised everyone in January 2020 with the reveal of the 850 E-TEC factory 2-stroke turbo engine package in a 2020.5 Ski-Doo Summit X with Expert Package early release. As always, we will jump into the mountain segment straight away, because that’s all we really care about! No offence trail riders-that’s just not our jam.
