Description
Turn the key (well, thumb the starter) and let this ** 2027 Ski-Doo Renegade® X-RS 900 ACE Turbo R 137 1.5** remind you why “trail day” somehow always turns into “one more loop.” Dressed in ****, it looks every bit as sharp as it feels—clean, aggressive, and ready to leave a long ribbon of roost behind it. (And if you’re the type who likes options, this model also comes in **Black** or **Circuit Yellow - 20th Anniversary**.)
At the heart of this trail weapon is a **turbocharged Rotax® 900 ACE Turbo R**—a **liquid-cooled**, **DOHC**, **3-cylinder**, **4-stroke** that delivers a serious **180 bhp (134.3 kW)** and spins up to a **7900 RPM redline**. It’s **fuel injected**, sips **premium** gas, and breathes out through a **single exhaust**. Translation: crisp response, strong pull, and that satisfying surge when the trail opens up and your right thumb gets a little ambitious. A **speed governor** is onboard, but the fun is in how quickly and smoothly this engine builds power in the real world.
Power delivery is handled by a **Continuously Variable (CVT) transmission** with **belt drive**, paired with a **pDrive clutch** and an easy-to-use **thumb throttle**. Need to back out of a tight spot at the end of a scenic overlook? **Reverse** is ready when you are, keeping the ride experience polished and practical without killing the vibe.
The Renegade X-RS is built around the **REV Gen5 aluminum frame**, blending a planted feel with a purposefully athletic stance. With an overall length of **119.6 in.**, width of **47.8 in.**, and a **low** LED setup up front (with a **tinted** lens), it has that sleek profile that looks fast standing still. And at a **dry weight of 542 lbs.**, it hits a sweet spot for a trail sled that’s eager to change direction but still feels composed when the pace climbs.
Up front, the **RAS RX independent double A-arm** suspension provides **9.6 in.** of travel, controlled by **KYB adjustable gas shocks** with **coil-over** design and **shock-mounted adjustment**—so you can fine-tune the feel for your kind of riding. Out back, the **rMotion** rear suspension delivers **11.5 in.** of travel with **two rear KYB adjustable gas shocks** plus a **KYB adjustable center shock**, again with **shock-mounted adjustment** to dial in comfort, bite, and attitude. A **front stabilizer bar** helps keep things predictable when the corners stack up and the trail gets choppy.
For steering and tracking, Ski-Doo pairs **manual handlebar steering** with **Pilot X plastic skis** and **dual carbide skags**, giving you confident turn-in and steady hold when conditions vary from freshly groomed to hard-packed and fast. Underneath, the **Ice Ripper XT** track—**137 in.** long, **15 in.** wide, with **1.5 in.** lugs—bridges the gap between playful acceleration and trail manners, hooking up when you want to drive forward and staying civilized when you’re just cruising to the next stop.
When it’s time to rein in that turbo punch, **Brembo® hydraulic disc brakes** bring authoritative control, with an **adjustable brake** feel so it matches your preference. And Ski-Doo didn’t forget the everyday comforts: **heated, adjustable driver grips**, **hand guards**, and a thoughtfully protected setup with a **belt guard**, **clutch guard**, **snow guard**, **side cover**, and **skid-resistant** running boards.
You also get the peace of mind of **DESS (Digitally Encoded Security System™) immobilizer**, plus clear at-a-glance info via **gauge-based fuel level and temperature warnings**—because the best rides are the ones you finish smiling.
Bottom line: in ****, this Renegade X-RS isn’t just a new snowmobile—it’s a limited-availability, trail-focused excuse to chase the next corner, the next straight, and the next “let’s take the long way back.” See dealer for details, then start planning your first ride.
