Grey Eagle’s Quiet Power: Skidoo Grand Touring Sport 600 ACE and MXZ 600 ACE XP Carve the Trails.
On the frozen lanes around Grey Eagle, Minnesota, two compact Skidoo 600 ACE platforms deliver a concise, efficient take on snowmobiling: quiet, high-torque 4-stroke engines, electric start and reverse, and heated controls that make long days on the trail unexpectedly comfortable.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Lightweight, quiet 600-cc ACE powerplants
Both the Grand Touring Sport 600 ACE and the MXZ 600 ACE XP use quiet, high-torque 4-stroke engines with electric start and reverse; the Sport accepts single or double riders and includes individual heated hand grips for driver and passenger, while the MXZ is a lightweight single seat with a longer 137" track for confident trail tracking.
Fuel efficiency and practical limits
Both models advertise up to 29 miles per gallon, a noteworthy economy for four-stroke sleds; riders should also be mindful of the Sport 600 ACE’s published 370 lb weight limit when planning two-up travel.
Comfort and trail handling
Expect nimble handling — the Sport is said to handle like a single rider sled even when set up for two — plus heated grips, reversible throttle and thumb warmer options that extend comfortable ride time in the wind and blowing snow common in the region.
What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
These Skidoo 600 ACE machines favor subtlety over brute force: the four-stroke engines dampen noise and deliver steady torque, the lightweight chassis keeps steering responsive on trail turns, and onboard comforts — electric start, reverse and heated controls — shrink the friction of a long day in cold air. The result is a composed, efficient day on groomed terrain or extended rental runs measured in hours or weeks.
