2017 Ski-Doo Renegade® Backcountry™ Electric Starter ROTAX® 800R E-TEC® White & Orange Crush REV-XM

No compromises. No wanting for more fun on or off trails. That’s the Renegade Backcountry’s core DNA. It balances deep snow agility – especially its tMotion rear suspension – with rough trail comfort and precision.

Lightweight and nimble with an ideal riding position whether boondocking or trail carving. Strong, open running boards let snow fall through for solid footing.

The tMotion flexes laterally, reducing the effort to initiate a roll, due to a ball joint at the center hinge between the rear arm and drop link and split flat-tube front arms. Very progressive motion ratio makes the ride on trails even more comfortable.

By shortening the fiberglass reinforcing rods inside, the track’s edges flex when you carve the sled, making boondocking and sidehilling easier. Provides the flotation of a 16-in. (41 cm) wide track with the agility of a 12-in. (30 cm) track.

Ultimate geometry and lighter components deliver excellent precision and stability – especially in extreme bumps – and reduces roll in corners. Sharp styling, too.

Highest quality aluminum-bodied high pressure gas shocks by KYB. Rebuildable and revalvable.

Massive, strategically shaped openings keep the boards clear. A tall extruded edge adds stiffness and has aggressive boot grips.

Eight inches (20 cm) of added foot room up front on the running board edge puts you right in line with the steering post for more leverage in sidehilling and boondocking. And you can get radically forward for extremely technical moves.

Single-keel with excellent sidehilling bite, thanks to thin outer edges. Narrow and thin, yet stiff. Shorter behind its complementary spindle with flat tail for easier counter-steering and sidehilling.

E-TEC engines are the most popular 2-strokes in snowmobiling.* Direct-injection technology delivers excellent power and efficiency in both 800cc and 600cc lightweight twins. You get excellent oil consumption, easy throttle pull, and linear power delivery. There's virtually no two-stroke smoke and smell and preparing for the off-season is easy with built-in automatic summerization function.
