Touring Snowmobiles: Touring Snowmobile Reviews, videos, and Pictures

Touring Snowmobiles

Touring snowmobiles are ideal for logging hundreds of miles a day on groomed trails. These sleds are the SUVs of the snowmobile world, some featuring just about every amenity imaginable. Everything from plush, heated seats and smooth-riding suspensions to connectors for your MP3 player and communication systems can be found on some top-of-the-line models. A huge variety of engine sizes is also available depending on how fast you want to go and how much money you have to spend.

One of the year’s best touring sleds combines a smooth 4-stroke triple with agile rider-forward handling.

2010 Ski-Doo Expedition 1200 4-Tec Review

A capable cargo hauler and two-up tourer

A very good “crossover” snowmobile, Ski-Doo’s 2010 Expedition with the 1200 4-TEC manages to blend touring ability with utility. It’s a very strong runner that is also extremely rider friendly with nice-to-have features and unique synchromesh transmission.

2010 Yamaha Venture Lite Review

A Phazer-based touring unit with great upside

We can recommend Yamaha’s Venture Lite as one of the best touring buys in the sport for 2010 as it proved to be exceptionally well designed, smooth on the trail and extremely rider (and passenger) friendly. At US$8,999 the Venture Lite is available in Candy Red or our-as-tested Topaz Blue.
