2020 Ski-Doo Backcountry 850 E-TEC

ANY RIDE YOU CAN DREAM UP

Ideally suited to be the highlight of winter, the 2020 Ski-Doo Backcountry mixes precision trail handling with deep snow features that let a rider explore beyond the banks of the trail.

MORE POWER YOU CAN FEEL

The most powerful 2-stroke engine in the industry.* It pumps out 10 more horsepower (165 hp) than its predecessor, but its responsiveness is what really shines. With the new pDrive primary clutch, it’s 30% quicker responding than the 800R E-TEC giving you the instant control you demand.

*Observed HP measured on internal dyno test in optimal conditions for 2-stroke engines. 

INSTANT POWER. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.

Following its big brother Rotax 850 E-TEC engine's lead with second generation E-TEC technology, the Rotax 600R E-TEC engine offers a 30% improvement in throttle response, crisp acceleration and sets a new 600cc class standard with 125 horsepower while continuing to set the bar for reliability, and 2-stroke oil and fuel economy.

QUICK, EFFICIENT, EASY

A major factor in the quickness of REV sleds is the new pDrive clutch. Fast and friction-free dual rollers transfer torque in place of traditional sliding buttons on this 100% clutch. The oversize rollers with needle bearings, wide flyweights and shaft-on-shaft design emphasize smooth operation and long life. Ultra-responsive shifting, impressive RPM consistency and 2.8 lb./ 1.3 kg lighter than the TRA VII.

NEXT GENERATION OF A LEGEND

The 4th generation of the REV platform is designed around aggressive trail riders with a narrow, compact package giving the rider more freedom to move and influence the sled. More centralized masses (especially side-to-side), light weight and industry-leading suspensions make the vehicle ultra responsive.

CROSSOVER CONTROL AND CARVING

Crossover-specific suspension uses best principles of the rMotion trail and tMotion mountain skids for confident cornering and agile boondocking – such as rigid front and rear arms with excellent weight transfer. It also features a rising-rate motion ratio, like the latest generation of Ski-Doo rear suspensions, to provide superior control and comfort. Tipped rails enable better cornering, boost top-end speed and fuel efficiency.

CROSSOVER PRECISION

Similar geometry and steering to the RAS 3 mountain front end for capability and light steering feel on- and off-trail. Optimized for crossover usage, two ski stance positions dial in handling: 40.2 in. (102 cm) or 38.4 in. (97.5 cm).

• ADVANCED INFO

All-digital LCD gauge cluster with flatter viewing angle for an easy-to-read info whether standing or sitting.

• PLUSH PERFORMANCE

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

EXCELLENT TRACTION ANYWHERE

This track features combination of flexible cupped lugs for superior off-trail performance and more rigid lugs for added traction on hard-packed snow.
