The Lynx Shredder DS is built for technical, deep‑snow riding: a narrow, short‑tunnel Radien² chassis that trims mass and drag, a PPS² DS+ rear suspension tuned for powder, and the instant shove of an 850 E‑TEC Turbo R engine. For riders in Loveland looking to push steep faces and float untracked bowls, renting this sled pairs modern two‑stroke turbo power with suspension and ergonomics designed to make aggressive powder laps feel precise and immediate.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE TERRAIN

Purpose‑built for deep snow

The Shredder DS excels in the deepest snow and on steep slopes: its slimmer Radien² platform, short tunnel and extruded running boards reduce drag and rider input, yielding a powder‑efficient package built for technical terrain.

THE POWER

Instant response from a turbo two‑stroke

Under the hood the 850 E‑TEC Turbo R produces factory‑built turbo performance with immediate throttle response and roughly 180 hp, giving strong on‑demand acceleration that suits aggressive powder riding.

THE TECH

Modern control and suspension

The Shredder pairs a large 10.25" color touchscreen with BRP Connect for maps and ride planning, PPS² DS+ rear suspension optimized for deep snow and KYB Kashima shocks for a wide range of adjustability and high‑capacity performance.

What the day feels like

What the rental feels like

Renting the Shredder DS is about trading grunt and bulk for agility: the sled’s narrow, low‑drag Radien² architecture and tuned suspension let riders carve, pivot and maintain momentum in deep snow while the turbocharged 850 delivers immediate power. The touchscreen and app compatibility make route planning and navigation straightforward on multi‑day outings, while the SHOT starter and lightweight construction emphasize quick, functional design.
