Valcourt, QC, October 16, 2015 — BRP is making the most talked about technology for 2016, the Pilot TS ski, available to more Ski-Doo owners with accessory kits that allow upgrades to sleds not equipped out of the box with the skis.

The Pilot TS ski is the industry’s first truly adjustable ski that allows riders to easily dial in front end bite to match conditions and their riding style, substantially increasing their trail riding enjoyment. Twisting a knob in front of the ski leg raises or lowers a ski runner/carbide blade. Fully extended, the blade runner delivers maximum precision and bite in corners, especially in hard and icy conditions or in fluffy snow conditions. Fully retracted it delivers easier steering and virtually no darting. There are 20 clicks of adjustment over the .5 inch/12.5mm range and 10 turns of the knob covers the entire range. The position is indicated on a gauge on the adjustment stem. The runner is carbonitrided for hardness and long life.

Requirements for adding the Pilot TS skis are having a RAS 2 front suspension and the 2016 model Spindles. Owners that don’t have the RAS 2 suspension can add that with kit numbers 860201241 or 860201353 and get the spindles with it.

There are two kits available depending on which spindle an owner currently has, or will upgrade to:

860201237 For models with the 2016 RAS 2 spindles standard (or models upgraded with RAS 2 suspension kit 860201241 or 860201353 which include 2016 spindles) $559.99 USD/$659.99 CAD
860200692 For RAS 2 equipped sleds that need 2016 spindles $649.99 USD/$757.99 CAD

Valcourt, Quebec, September 22, 2015 – For the sixth straight year, BRP (TSX:DOO) is taking the lead in promoting avalanche education and awareness by sponsoring nearly 60 free seminars throughout North America. The seminars offer fresh, renewed and relevant content for riders of all skill levels, and riders of all brands are welcome and encouraged to attend.

More than 10,000 attendees have taken part in Ski-Doo-sponsored avalanche awareness seminars since 2009. This season, the seminars are enhanced with new content and techniques so that participants – first time or returning – will find it extremely beneficial. Those who register are also encouraged to bring their friends and riding buddies to ensure those they ride with are also well informed.

“Snowmobilers’ safety comes first for BRP, which is why we are involved in the promotion of avalanche education,” said Mathieu Laforest, Global Ski-Doo Marketing director. “Together with our dealers, we’ve worked very closely with experts to design seminars that are engaging, educational and entertaining for snowmobilers.”

Seminars in Canada will be led by Jeremy Hanke, a recognized avalanche professional, a member of the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) advisory board and one of the creators of Throttle Decisions, a renowned avalanche safety awareness video. Jeremy is an AST 2 certified instructor.

Mike Duffy of Avalanche 1, a recognized snowmobile expert in avalanche awareness, leads seminars in the United States. Duffy has American Avalanche Association Level I & II and AvPro Level III certification, teaches at Colorado Mountain College and Silverton Avalanche School, and has been giving snowmobile-specific avalanche classes since 1996.* Duffy has more than 25 years of mountain riding and mountain rescue experience. This is his fifth year working with BRP.

Valcourt, Québec, September 12, 2015 — BRP introduces the 2016 Ski-Doo MXZx 600RS racing snowmobile designed specifically to attack North American snocross tracks. The sled will feature a radically updated engine, new clutch, and suspension changes that result in better acceleration, traction and rider control.

The MXZx 600RS already has a proven track record of durability, great handling and low maintenance costs for its racers. For 2016, the Race Engineering team in Valcourt concentrated on engine, clutch, suspension and track development to deliver better starts, better drive from corner to corner and more power throughout a race.

The Rotax engine features a new cylinder design with a tight tolerance manufacturing process to maximize power and consistency. In addition, there’s a new crankshaft, drive clutch and stator that reduce inertia more than three times compared to last season’s light weight crank program. The powerpack also features a new Y-pipe shape, and tuned pipe to match the cylinder changes, plus a lightweight muffler that shaves six pounds (2.72 kg) off the sled. These changes together deliver fast revving, consistent and robust power from engagement all the way to the 8500 RPM redline.

To make the most of the additional power, the Valcourt Race Shop matched the engine with a completely new high performance pDrive primary clutch. This new pDrive is designed to reduce friction, reduce weight, tighten tolerances, allow for more consistent RPM delivery, require less maintenance and last longer. To accomplish this, the specialty racing pDrive clutch features unique elements like fast and friction-free dual rollers to transfer torque in place of traditional sliding buttons, the renowned BRP-exclusive adjustable clickers – only this time applied to flyweights, needle bearings in oversize rollers and a compact open design that’s also 11mm narrower. The new clutch and new clutch cover combine to reduce belt operating temperature by 68° F (20° C).

Another driveline component seeing change is the track. A new lightweight track that shaves an additional 2 pounds (.9 kg) of rotating weight takes the basic design from last year and reshapes the lugs down low while adding strength with towers at the ends and in the middle of each lug for both better holeshots and more durability. Late season testing shows the new track gaining a consistent one half to one full sled length advantage over last year — without considering the engine and clutch changes.

In the quest to gain every advantage possible, there will also be a new patent pending progressive coupling device that can be added to the renowned Racing rMotion suspension that’s used on the MXZx 600RS. This device aids in weight transfer and chassis dynamics to deliver the explosive holeshots every racer wants.
