Description
Meet the **2027 Ski-Doo Backcountry™ Sport 600 EFI - 85 146 2.0**, dipped in head-turning **Neo Yellow**—the kind of color that looks like it was designed specifically to pop against fresh powder and blue-sky days. This is a crossover with trail manners, built for riders who want one sled that can spend the morning carving groomers and the afternoon wandering off to see what’s beyond the last set of stakes.
At the heart of it is a **Rotax® 600 EFI** twin—**599.4 cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-stroke**, and **fuel injected**, making it the kind of setup that’s happy to fire up with the **electric start**, sip **regular gas**, and get straight to work. With **85 hp** on tap and a **7500 RPM** redline, it’s a lively, responsive package that feels eager when you squeeze the **thumb throttle**—not just fast for the sake of fast, but the kind of power delivery that makes every short straightaway feel like an invitation.
Power meets the snow through a **CVT** with a **pDrive clutch**, and when the trail narrows or the parking spot gets tight, you’ll appreciate having **reverse** ready to go. It’s the sort of practical touch that keeps the day flowing, so you can focus on the ride instead of wrestling with it.
The Backcountry Sport’s personality really shows in its stance and suspension. Up front, the **RAS X** **independent double A-arm** setup delivers **8.7 inches** of travel, backed by **Motion Control hydraulic shocks** and a **front stabilizer bar** to keep things composed when the trail gets choppy. Out back, the **cMotion** rear suspension brings **9.4 inches** of travel with **two KYB adjustable gas shocks** plus a **Motion Control** center shock, giving you a balance that’s confident on trail while still ready to venture into softer, uneven snow. Both ends use **shock-mounted adjustment**, so it’s built with real-world tuning in mind.
Underneath, the **Powder Max** track measures **146 inches** long and **16 inches** wide, with **2.0-inch** lugs—enough bite to make off-trail detours feel like part of the plan, not a gamble. And when you’re threading corners back on the hardpack, the **Pilot™ skis** with **carbide skags** help keep steering precise and predictable through the bars.
The whole package rides on the **REV Gen5 aluminum frame**, keeping things strong while staying purposeful at a **445 lb dry weight**. It’s sized to feel nimble—**125 inches** long and **45.7 inches** wide—with a **39-inch minimum ski stance** that supports confident cornering without making the sled feel bulky. Add in details like **skid-resistant** boards, **rubber hand grips**, and a **Brembo® hydraulic disc brake**, and you’ve got a sled that’s built to be ridden hard and often.
Comfort and convenience are covered, too. There’s a **one-piece vinyl seat** for a dedicated solo ride, a **low tinted LED** setup for clear visibility when the light flattens out, and **adjustable heated driver grips** for those colder starts. The dash keeps you informed with **fuel level** and **temperature** gauges, and there’s **4 liters (1 gal)** of glove box/dash storage—perfect for essentials you want close without overthinking it.
If you want a sled that brings energy, versatility, and a little extra attitude—especially in unmistakable **Neo Yellow**—this Backcountry Sport is ready to turn every “just a quick ride” into an all-day story.
