Mountain Snowmobiles: Mountain Snowmobile Reviews, Videos, and Pictures

Mountain Snowmobiles

If pure horsepower and climbing ability is what you're after, mountain snowmobiles are the way to go. Mountain snowmobiles sell mostly in areas where the hills are steep and the powder is deep. These machines are lighter and feature longer tracks so they can stay on top of the slow. Long lugs help mountain snowmobiles dig through the deep snow and engines with a focus on high horsepower push rider and machine up impossible looking climbs.

2010 Mountain Sled Evaluation - Part Two

Five mountain steeds are put to the test

In Part Two of our 2010 mountain snowmobile shoot out, we test the sleds on an uphill-timed straight line speed run and measure fuel and oil consumption and actual miles traveled as measured by GPS feed.

2010 Mountain Sled Evaluation - Part One

The decision is...yours

We spent a month testing, collecting data, and arguing about the Yamaha FX Nytro MTX SE, Polaris RMK 700 and 800 RMK Dragon, and Arctic Cat M8 Sno Pro and M1000 Sno Pro. In Part 1 of our evaluation we look at weights and measurements and pit the sleds against each other in an uphill timed hillcross.
