2025 Ski-Doo Rumors and Predictions

[christopher]

I suspect something is up with the MY25 release coming from Ski-Doo in February.
Some of the major media companies, Like SnoWest are all running special promos to take a lucky winner up to Valcourt Quebect for the MY25 reveal.

That suggests to me that Ski-Doo has something SPECIAL to show all these people...

So, WHAT do you think/hope Ski-Doo has in store for us for the 2025 riding season.???

Some guesses
Backcountry X-RS 850 Turbo
A new Rotax 650 engine.
Imbedded Maps in the 10.25" display

4 year warranty on a turbo would be nice.

- Belt drive
- -20lbs
- A sled that actually sheds snow like the polaris
- Gauge that isnt a joke and has buddy tracking
- Intake vent that dont break every few rides

Funny thin is that we had this in Europe since 2018, its always 4yrs. Of course sleds are relatively more expensive here and season is shorter

And what's even more funny is that Poo has 5yrs warranty here now.

February 19 or 20

I’d like to see a better mid hp summit for novice riders . The 600 catalyst will draw in some doo riders that m600 works amazing.
I’d also like to see the 900T R in a 146 and 154 for low elevation off trail riding.

- Spindles that aren't raked out like a easy ride chopper
- Skis that don't flop around and plow
- Better gauge, and no the 10.25 isn't it
- Storage lid that you can actually use for something useful, that doesn't look like a tumor
- Tank storage that will hold the belt and something else, change the lid on the Linq Deep Snow Seat Box
- Bring back the clicker shocks, the three position "someone else's guess" shocks are not that helpful and the detent is too soft, knob turns on it's own when in firm snow
- Weight reduction would be nice but not at the loss of durability
- Keep the same cooling capacity

I'll say what I've said before, the trends are easy to spot and we're at about the right timing for a mid-cycle new top trim. There will be a new name and package that replaces the Expert trim as the halo trim for the Summit and the Expert name will move down the line or end much like the Summit X used to be the top trim until it was replaced with the T3 and then the Expert package. If we see much else it will be some flashy new feature and a tiny incremental change to move to a narrower stance/body with a slightly higher COG to make it more "flickable". This should set us up for a 2026 release with updates bodywork and chassis.

-Belt drive
-Forward steering post
-Reduce the amount of fasteners to remove the hood
-Heim joints on the a-arms instead of ball joints
-Coil over rear suspension
-Team secondary
-Buddy tracking on the gauge
-Better protection for the intake

now that right there is a serious HOPE..

I think Feb 19

Something to compete in the Bigger bore NA segment. Not saying the 850 Doo doesn't work well but something built specifically for tree riding. The New Cat and 9R will be carving out a real segment in this market and Doo won't want to be left behind.

I second the highlighted items!
It'd be handy to be able to remove the hood with Zeus quarter turn fasteners and no tools, similar to Poo.
A coilover rear skid is over due IMO.
Buddy tracking seems to be more and more desirable for keeping their groups together.

For me just more power 850 turbo r is pretty lame at high elevation

Wont see a coil over rear suspension its a step backwards, and wont see a belt drive, especially with the two piece drive shaft.

I want buddy tracking. How hard could it possibly be?

Can you elaborate on both?
