THE MACHINE

165 hp Skidoo Summit X 850 Turbo

This guided tour centers on the 2024 Skidoo Summit X 850 Turbo, the most powerful two‑stroke in its class at 165 horsepower; that extra power is a defining element of the ride and a primary reason riders book this tour.

THE DESIGN

Deep‑snow specific engineering

Deep‑snow specific design elements—reduced weight and technical refinements—are part of the package, improving float and agility when the terrain gets soft and steep.

THE RESPONSE

Instant control and quicker clutch response

The sled’s pDrive primary clutch delivers markedly quicker response—about 30% faster than the 800R E‑TEC—translating to immediate throttle feedback and sharper, more confident handling in variable snow.
