VIDEO – First Ride! Ski-Doo Summit 175 TURBO!
In this video, we take out the 154″ x 2.5″ naturally-aspirated Summit X with Expert Package, alongside the Summit Expert 175 Turbo configuration—both of which are new options for MY2021. But let’s face it, we didn’t spend much time on the 154″!
It’s all about the Ski-Doo Summit Expert 175 Turbo in this case.
Mountain Sledder rider, Sean, provides the skills and shares his opinion on the Expert Package features, as well as his thoughts on the ideal track length of Summit 850 E-TEC Turbo sled.
If you can’t ride it yourself, you might as well go along for a ride!
Here's what's new on the Summit X with Expert Package for model year 2021
Drive Belt Monitoring System: Alerts riders in two different ways, duty cycle and temperature, if drive belt issues are impending before failure. Allows rider to be proactive to prevent belt failure.
QRS Vent Plus driven clutch: Finned fixed and moving sheaves maximize airflow of the CVT system to decrease overall operating temperature and offer consistent performance.
Ultra Compact Lightweight Seat: Compact, low profile and ultra-lightweight – 25mm less height and 400g less weight than Compact Lightweight Seat. Intentionally sculpted for easier side-to-side rider movement. Weather resistant to remain dry and lightweight throughout the years.
4.5-inch digital display: All-digital LCD gauge with flatter viewing angle for an easy-to-read info center while standing.
One-piece Lightweight Hood: One-piece Polypropylene construction reduces weight by 6 lbs. Optimized for heat management and noise reduction.
