SNOWMOBILE HANDGUARD SYSTEM BRP has introduced a snowmobile handguard system that incorporates LED lighting that can be used to signal on-coming riders . Riding past on-coming traffic is safer with the handguard system . Rider ’ s hands remain on the handlebar as they use the LED light to inform others of what to expect behind them rather than using hand signals . This system is useful on tight winding trails , allowing riders to focus on navigating their snowmobile and maintain peace of mind that they are effectively informing fellow riders for everyone ’ s safety .
The system uses a four-mode dash-mounted switch to change colors on the left handguard where white is the default signature look , amber signals ‘ caution – riders behind me ,’ and green signals ‘ last sled in the group ’ or ‘ single rider ’. Riders can also engage dual flashing amber lights to signal ‘ caution hazardous situation ’ or ‘ beware – I ’ m stopped ’.
The system is an easy plug and play installation on Ski-Doo models featuring the REV Gen5 platform and REV Gen4 platforms with the addition of the retrofit harness . BRP strives to improve rider safety and by 2025 , the company will introduce signaling systems for all Ski-Doo models . The LED handguard system is listed at $ 179.99
