¦ What to Add-on
Ski-Doo also has the most practical, and easiest to install accessories in the industry. We put LinQ systems on every Ski-Doo we ride (and even other OEM sleds with conversion kits). On this sled we used LinQ tunnel bags, the LinQ fuel caddy, and more. Ski-Doo windshields are also easy to install by just popping them out of easy rubber grommets. We usually bring two windshields for our Ski-Doos on every trip, just in case it gets really cold, or really warm. We also put the handguard extensions on all our Ski-Doo trail sleds.
Into the season we added the accessory LED light bar under the headlights as well. Initially the kit pointed a little downward, but there’s a shim you can get for a quick fix. The big upside to these accessory kits is a larger field of vision, and the whiter light helps define undulations in the terrain. The only other sled I like riding at night is the Polaris, with their LEDs. Unfortunately, Ski-Doo does not have LED bulbs for their headlights that match the light bar. The two different light systems look a little awkward. We believe that all sleds should come with LED headlights standard. PIAA does make LED bulbs that will match the accessory light bar.
Finally, we are impressed at how well the Gen4 Renegade sleds perform in deeper snow. This was not always the case with chassis like the XP. Things got better with the XS, but this newest chassis with the 850 motor allows you to take a 137-inch sled like this X-RS and go anywhere, even in two to three feet of POW.
