Performance Snowmobiles: Performance Snowmobile Reviews, Videos, and Pictures

Performance Snowmobiles

Performance snowmobiles are designed to go fast and take a beating. These race-inspired machines are light and powerful and feature some of the most advanced suspension systems in all of powersports. Whether you want to fly across a frozen lake at over 100 miles per hour or clear the double at the local snocross track, performance sleds can get the job done. These sleds generally favor an aggressive riding position and comfort is sacrificed in favor of adrenaline-inducing performance.

2011 Polaris 800 Rush Review

Polaris makes the base Rush stronger and quicker

Polaris offers more choices in its Rush model lineup, but the top line 800cc Twin in the base model makes great deal of sense. It’s quick, fast and extremely enjoyable in virtually all conditions.

2011 Arctic Cat Sno Pro 500 Review

One of the most fun-to-ride sleds you can own

The Sno Pro 500 proved a hit last season so Arctic Cat didn’t mess with its success and simply refined a few things to make the 2011 version even more fun to ride.

2011 Arctic Cat Crossfire Review

Crossfire can claw powder and run fast on the trails.

The Crossfire is well suited for stand-up riding as it rails over the chatter bumps. It works well for the rider who wants to launch off snow banks. And it can claw its way through backcountry or off-trail powder.
