For some riders, carving deep powder is just one part of the experience. The other is pushing themsleves and their sleds to the limits. That’s what the Freeride 146/154 is all about.

Light chassis reinforced for freeriding punishment. Wide, strong running boards with extra large snow evacuation holes and extruded edge. Body panels are powderdynamically designed to slide more easily through snow, especially in deep snow manoeuvres.

These shocks are standard on the MXZx 600RS race sled. Extreme capability, extreme durability shocks for control in the toughest conditions. Easy Adjust compression damping knob does not require tools. Rebuildable/revalvable design.

The tMotion flexes laterally, reducing the effort to initiate a roll, due to a ball joint at the center hinge between the rear arm and drop link and split flat-tube front arms. Very progressive motion ratio makes the ride on trails even more comfortable.

By shortening the fiberglass reinforcing rods inside, the track’s edges flex when you carve the sled, making boondocking and sidehilling easier. Provides the flotation of a 16-in. (41 cm) wide track with the agility of a 12-in. (30 cm) track.

Ultimate geometry and lighter components deliver excellent precision and stability – especially in extreme bumps – and reduces roll in corners. Sharp styling, too.

Easily disconnect/connect the sway bar without tools for handling preference.

Single-keel with excellent sidehilling bite, thanks to thin outer edges. Narrow and thin, yet stiff. Shorter behind its complementary spindle with flat tail for easier counter-steering and sidehilling.

Direct-injection technology mill pumps out big power while delivering up to 19 mpg (12.3 L/100 km) fuel economy. Excellent oil consumption, plus easy throttle pull, linear power delivery and virtually no smoke or smell. Proven and recognized by riders for reliability.* Preparing for the off-season is easy with built-in automatic summerization function.

We designed the cockpit around mountain riders: the gauge is mounted flat, switches are moved to the console, buttons are shielded from accidental activation and the grab handle is rigid and shaped to your hand. Every surface of the seat is sculpted for powder riding gymnastics.

Massive, strategically shaped openings keep the boards clear. A tall extruded edge adds stiffness and has aggressive boot grips.
