Engines with a volume of 800 cubic meters can be classified as universal power units for winter equipment. Such motors are installed on classic utilitarian models for hunting and fishing, multi-purpose crossovers, all-terrain vehicles designed to move in deep snow, as well as fast snowmobiles of the crossover class.
In order not to be disappointed in a snowmobile, before buying, you need to decide what tasks the equipment has to solve.To do this, you need to answer several questions:
Need a cheap or modern snowmobile? If you need a high-tech device equipped with the latest technology, you need to choose a well-known foreign manufacturer. With limited financial opportunities, it is worth making a choice in favor of domestic manufacturers.
Low price or low maintenance costs? Snowmobiles with two-stroke engines are cheaper than snowmobiles equipped with four-stroke engines. At the same time, oil consumption and refueling of a two-stroke unit will cost an order of magnitude more expensive.
Are you planning mountain trips? In the case of an affirmative answer, you should carefully study the lightweight mountain models. They feature a reinforced frame construction, powerful shock absorbers and a narrow ski base that allows you to feel confident in deep snow.
Looking for a snowmobile for hunting? You will definitely need a low gear and a wide track that will provide maximum flotation. Also, a telescopic suspension will not be superfluous, which is better protected from damage.
Will you go ice fishing? Snowmobiles equipped with air-cooled engines must be used to travel on ice or surfaces with little snow. Otherwise, the owner risks overheating the motor.
If you are in doubt about the choice, you can study the reviews of the owners of specific models. On specialized forums, the advantages and disadvantages of the most popular snowmobiles are actively discussed.

One of the best in its class engine with increased torque at low and medium speeds is far from the main advantage of the model. The state-of-the-art Arctic Drive drive system is highly tuned and delivers maximum torque to the tracks without losing power.
