Description
Meet the ** 2027 Ski-Doo MXZ® X-RS with Competition Package 850 E-TEC® Turbo 137 1.5**—a trail-bred performance snowmobile that looks as fast as it feels, especially in its **** finish. It’s the kind of sled that doesn’t wait for the weekend ride to “get good”—it shows up ready to turn every straight into a launch pad and every corner into a bragging-rights story.
At the heart of this MXZ X-RS is a turbocharged **Rotax® E-TEC** twin: a **849 cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-stroke**, **horizontal in-line** engine with **reed valve** breathing and **fuel injection**. It’s built for riders who love that crisp, urgent response when you press the **thumb throttle** and the trail suddenly feels a whole lot shorter. With **180 bhp (134.3 kW)** on tap and premium fuel in the tank, it’s not about “getting up to speed”—it’s about how quickly “speed” becomes the baseline. Starting is old-school and simple with a **pull starter**, and when it’s time to maneuver or back out of a tight spot, you’ve got **reverse** to make life easier.
Power delivery is handled through a **CVT** with belt drive and a **pDrive** clutch—smooth where you want it, snappy where you need it. And because performance is nothing without control, Ski-Doo pairs that energy with a lightweight **aluminum REV Gen5** platform that keeps the sled feeling precise and responsive, not bulky. At **520 lb dry**, it’s a serious machine that still feels eager to change direction—exactly what you want when the trail turns into a rhythm section.
Up front, the **RAS RX** independent double A-arm suspension brings **11 inches** of travel to keep the skis planted and the ride composed. Those **Pilot™** skis (with **dual carbide** skags) are there to help you carve with confidence, while the **rack & pinion** steering keeps the connection between your hands and the trail direct and predictable. Out back, the **rMotion** rear suspension adds **11.5 inches** of travel and uses **KYB PRO** adjustable gas shocks (front, center, and rear) so you can tune the feel to your riding style—whether you like it razor-sharp for aggressive trail attacks or a bit more compliant for long, fast miles.
And when it’s time to scrub speed, **Brembo®** hydraulic disc braking is on call, with **adjustable brake** feel so you can match the bite to your preference. It’s the kind of stopping power that encourages later braking markers—because you trust what’s under your right hand.
This Competition Package-ready MXZ also pays attention to the little things that make big days better: **heated, adjustable driver grips**, **hand guards**, a **low LED** headlight for clear visibility, plus gauges that keep you informed with **fuel level** and **temperature** warnings. Add **Bluetooth® audio** and **mobile app instrumentation**, and the cockpit feels modern without losing its purpose-built edge. Security is covered too with the **DESS** engine immobilizer.
Traction comes courtesy of an **Ice Ripper XT** track measuring **137 inches** long by **15 inches** wide, with **1.5-inch** lugs—an ideal recipe for hard-charging trail performance with the bite to drive out of corners and hook up when conditions get loose.
Bottom line: in ****, this 2027 MXZ® X-RS doesn’t just look ready—it *is* ready. Ready for fast friends, long routes, late apexes, and that one stretch of trail where you finally let it eat and remember why you ride in the first place.
