Description
Meet the **Black 2027 Ski-Doo Expedition® Xtreme 900 ACE™ Turbo R 154 1.8**—the snowmobile that refuses to choose between “get work done” and “go have a ridiculous amount of fun.” Built as a **crossover** with a true **utility** streak, this machine is happy hauling you into the backcountry on a mission… and just as happy turning that mission into an excuse to stay out longer.
Crack the thumb throttle and you’ll quickly understand the personality behind that sleek Black bodywork. At its heart is a **turbocharged Rotax® 900 ACE™ Turbo R**—a **3-cylinder, 4-stroke** with **DOHC** and **12 valves**—delivering a punchy **180 hp** while staying composed thanks to **liquid cooling**. It’s **fuel injected**, asks for **premium gas**, and spins up to a **7750 RPM redline**, so it’s always ready to surge forward when the trail opens up or the snow gets deeper than expected.
Power delivery feels smooth and deliberate through a **CVT transmission** with **belt drive**, and when conditions change, you’re ready: **reverse** is on tap, and the **Hi/Low range** lets you shift the vibe from “move with authority” to “pull with confidence.” The **pDrive clutch** helps keep the response crisp—so whether you’re easing away from a stop or rolling into boost, it feels like the sled is reading your intent.
The Expedition Xtreme’s stance and chassis are built for the real world. Its **REV Gen5 aluminum frame** keeps things strong and purposeful, and the package carries a **621 lb dry weight** that translates into a planted, stable feel when the terrain gets choppy. Up front, the **RAS X independent double A-arm** suspension delivers **8.7 inches of travel**, backed by **adjustable KYB gas shocks** with **coil-over** support—so you can tune the ride for your day, not someone else’s. Out back, the **uMotion rear suspension** adds **10.5 inches of travel** with **two rear KYB high-pressure gas shocks** plus a **KYB adjustable center shock**, giving you that controlled, confident “float” when the trail turns rough.
And then there’s the footprint—because this is where the “Expedition” name earns its keep. A **Cobra Track** stretches **154 inches long** and a massive **20 inches wide**, with **1.8-inch lugs** that bite in when the snow turns soft or the route gets ambitious. It’s the kind of setup that makes you detour on purpose, simply because you can.
Steering stays direct and classic with **manual handlebar control**, and the front end rides on **Pilot™ skis** with **carbide skags**—a combo that helps you hold a line when the trail gets firm and keeps things predictable when you’re threading through changing conditions. When it’s time to slow things down, you’ve got **Brembo® hydraulic disc braking** with an **adjustable brake**, delivering controlled, confidence-inspiring stops.
Ski-Doo also nailed the day-to-day details that matter when you’re actually out riding. A **one-piece vinyl seat** keeps the cockpit clean and functional. **Heated driver grips** (and **adjustability**) help you stay comfortable when the temperature drops, and you’re covered with practical protection like **hand guards**, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard**. The **LED lighting** cuts through low-light conditions, with a **tinted, low-height** setup that looks sharp against the sled’s Black finish. On the gauge side, you’ve got **fuel level** and **temperature warnings**, so the machine keeps you informed while you keep moving. And when you park it, **DESS** (Digitally Encoded Security System™) adds an extra layer of peace of mind.
With an **11.1-gallon fuel capacity**, this Expedition Xtreme is built to stretch the day, not shorten it. It’s the sled for riders who want one machine that can do the serious stuff—and still make you laugh inside your helmet when the boost hits and the trail turns into your playground.
