Special Edition Summits Enable In-Season Turbo Purchase
In a surprising move from a brand that hasn ’ t had many late-release snowmobiles in recent years , Ski-Doo unveiled a Special Edition Summit line on November 20 .
The Special Edition Summit Adrenaline with Edge Package snowmobiles will be available in limited quantities with either an 850 E-TEC or 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine in track lengths of 154 or 165 . They will also include a special accessories package and unique coloration to further separate them from the “ regular ” in-season 2025 Summit Adrenaline with Edge Package models that were announced last February .
The biggest news in this latest announcement is the fact that the marvelously responsive two-stroke turbo 850 will be available in-season for the first time ever – in theory anyway . Sleds with that engine have technically only been available to customers who order in the spring , though savvy shoppers have been able to find a few at dealerships every year .
These new Special Edition versions will come with a package of five popular accessories , including a tunnel-mounted fuel caddy and glove box extension
plus the Deep Snow Ultra Lightweight seat , flexible handguards and adjustable brake level that are accessories but are also stock equipment on the top-level Summit X with Expert Package machines .
The naturally aspirated 850 version will be available with a 154-inch track with 2.5-inch lugs or a 165-inch track with 3-inch paddles . The 850 Turbo R spins the 16- by 165- by 3-inch Powder- Max X-Light track . The Special Edition machines will feature an alluring carbon black coloration , with deep red spindles and suspension rails .
“ This snowmobile brings huge value to buyers with all the best features like clean-running E-TEC engines , short tunnel for easy handling and a deep snow rider ’ s best friend , SHOT starting , plus the hottest accessories ,” Elsa Vilarinho , BRP Global Director , Marketing , Snowmobiles and On-Road , said in the press release announcing the models . “ Someone that missed purchasing a turbocharged model usually available in spring only , or who is looking to renew their ride will find this to be a great opportunity to get a sled that ’ s ready to go right out of the crate .”
Ski-Doo said production of the machines has already started , and they ’ ll be shipped to dealers very soon in limited quantities . Better jump quickly if you want one .
