SUMMIT SLEDS SET HIGH MARKS
Nothing compares to mountain powder riding. There's soft, deep snow, not hard groomed trails to contend with; altitude changes that can wreak havoc on a machine's engine performance; and forests that challenge maneuverability.
Mountain sleds must be light, nimble, powerful and comfortable.
In 1996, Team Ski-Doo racers proved that Ski-Doo Summit sleds met those challenges. Mark Thompson made history by becoming the first racer ever to drive a stock sled over the mountain on his Summit 670 sled at the Jackson Hole Hillclimb.
SUMMIT MAIN FEATURES
Rotax' twin-cylinder engines. Lightweight twin-cylinder powerplants are engineered for maximum power through the mid-rpm range, where most mountain riding is done, and all models use exclusive features like R.A.V.E. exhaust port modifiers and rotary intake valves for top performance.
SC-10 Mountain rear suspensions
The Mountain version of the SC-10 is a falling-rate, long-travel bump absorber. It's calibrated to meet the performance and powder flotation needs of mountain riding, but also provides a comfortable trail ride.The S-2000 chassis
The shape and materials of the cab and bellypan are key to the Summit sleds' ability to carve through powder and shed sticky snow. The light aluminum chassis is unparalleled in terms of reliability. RRIM polyurethane cab material is flexible to 35,below zero.The High Altitude Compensator (HAC)
The HAC is the lightest and most proven altitude compensator in the mountains, adjusting carburetion for air pressure and temperature changes.Deep "V" tracks
New for '98, these have the famous Ski-Doo pattern praised for it's powder performance, but now uses new materials and manufacturing techniques to make it more lightweight. The Deep V pattern keeps snow underneath the track for good flotation.DSA front suspensions
A trailing arm design with a sidehilling-friendly 37-inch ski-stance makes for good handling in deep snow.Cushion Drive TRA clutch
Labeled "bulletproof' by the media for its legendary reliability, the TRA delivers power to the track with efficiency. Riders can easily adjust the maximum rpm setting on the TRA, a helpful feature for mountain riders. Cushion drive bushing reduces vibration. * Bombardier hydraulic disc brake. Smooth, progressive-feeling stopping power. Self-adjusting for pad wear.New console air vents
Ensures a cool airflow for consistent engine performance and cooling of other engine-bay components.
