Trail Snowmobiles: Trail Snowmobile Reviews, videos, and Pictures

Trail Snowmobiles

Trail snowmobiles are a hybrid of performance and touring. While you may not want to log the same kind of mileage you would on a touring sled, trail snowmobiles have plenty to offer. They are typically lighter and more nimble than touring machines and are suited to a more aggressive rider who likes to get up to speed in a hurry. Sportier suspensions allow trail snowmobiles to tackle rougher trails, but these sleds lack some of the creature comforts of their touring cousins.

2010 Yamaha FX Nytro XTX Review

The first true multi-dimensional sled

Yamaha’s XTX is an exceptional 3-in-1 sled. It handles groomed trails like a sport sled. It bridges trail chop like the extended track model that it is. And it offers deep snow flotation for off-trail adventuring. With strong power and incredible suspension tunability, the 2010 Yamaha XTX can be darn near all things to just about any serious snowmobiler.

2010 Ski-Doo MXZ TNT 600 Review

Light and nimble TNT packs value and provides big fun

Ski-Doo’s TNT 600 is not simply light and nimble. It also comes with ample power, strong torque and handling that stand out among its competition. And it carries a price tag that makes it a bargain buy for riders looking for lightweight performance. This sled reminds you of the fun you had when you first got into the sport.

2010 Yamaha FX Nytro Review

Yamaha's base mogul runner gives you plenty of bang for your buck

For the money, Yamaha’s “base” 2010 FX Nytro provides lots of pop from an engine that is a torque-laden charmer with ample snow-spitting performance. If you choose this base Nytro, you wont’ have to settle as it comes with the same key features as the more expensive Nytro models. In other words, the 2010 FX Nytro may be the least expensive of Yamaha’s Nytro series, but it is far from being cheap!
