We’re going to stick with our viewpoint, but deliver a caveat. Despite denials from the yellow faithful, we are equally as adamant, Ski-Doo, in the past decade or so, has not delivered number one rated handling prowess.

A giant shift occurred in model year 2025 with a complete redesign of the front steering and suspension with the new RAS RX front end.

By raising the sled’s roll center and keeping its center of gravity low, the engineers have allowed the chassis to have less leverage on the skis, to corner flatter and reduce inside ski lift when cornering at speed. The changes have also made the turning arc of the sled more linear and predictable to steering inputs over rough terrain.

Roll Center refers to the imaginary point at the front of a snowmobile’s chassis (between the skis) where the inputs from the skis and suspension intersect as the sled cycles through its suspension movement or steers through corners. If it’s too low, you get ski-lift, body roll and imprecise handling.

Ski-Doo raised the roll center on RAS RX adding completely new castings that have lengthened the distance between the A-arm attachment points and the distance between the lower A-arm and the ski saddle. This longer spindle raises the front of the sled slightly and has much to do with raising the roll center.

Besides the longer spindle, the ski’s pivot bolt has been moved backward a bit resulting in a steeper steering angle. This makes the sled much “quicker steering” or responsive to the driver’s feeding of input into the handlebars.

Other changes to the swaybar, shock angles and the addition of new curved upper and lower wishbones helps the RAS-RX deal with bumps better and particularly, the curved A-arms help deliver increased useable travel.

Does all this work and actually make a tangible difference? You bet it does. Our test riders are sold on RAS RX and unanimously, very impressed.

Over the years, literally riding tens of thousands of miles all over the world, we’ve come to appreciate how being comfortable and dry seriously impacts the overall enjoyment of any snowmobiling adventure… and nothing could be truer when it comes to having warm feet. We’ve all been there at one time or another and having cold feet is no fun at all.

Canadian-made, Baffin Boots, have a long-standing reputation for manufacturing top quality, stylish footwear, specializing in boots that combat cold climates. For this trip to the Adirondacks, we chose the Baffin Impact boots specifically for their Polar cold comfort rating, literally tested for the “”the coldest moments on earth” at the North and South Poles.

Baffin’s B-Tek Dry Waterproof technology was something else that attracted us to these Impact boots and we can tell you first-hand, it really works because our feet stayed bone dry the entire trip. We enjoyed the convenience of simply sliding right into the boots and when sitting on our sleds in riding position, the boots provided a sense of security while offering excellent flexibility when both sitting or standing.

Additionally, the Baffin Impact boots have a luxurious, comprehensive liner system that gently hugs your feet like you’ve slipped them into a bag of marshmallows with room to wiggle your toes, providing the perfect environment for keeping your tootsies at just the right temperature.

It’s not a stretch to say these Baffin Impact boots are amongst the most comfortable we’ve ever worn and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any snowmobiler.

Not only did the PACKTALK EDGE ORV systems provide a new level of safety for his family unit, but being able to clearly and naturally hear his wife’s and daughters’ reactions and comments in real time enhanced the experience for each of them.

AJ added that he was impressed the way each intercom “daisy-chained” between each other to extend range when gaps in the group ride happened from time to time. Engine noise didn’t intrude, even when wearing tight balaclavas and each voice was clear and easy to understand without having to speak louder than necessary.

Installation literally took just seconds thanks to the secure magnetic mounts and can be done on full-face and MX style helmets.

The ability to answer phone calls and/or listen to music on the quality JBL headphones worked flawlessly and was easy to operate.

Its aerodynamic shape reduces drag and wind noise, enhancing the overall riding experience and its outer shell is constructed from a composite blend of carbon fiber and Kevlar, which not only ensures a lightweight construction but also delivers superior strength and impact resistance setting the ATR-3 apart from conventional helmets, making it a top choice for riders who prioritize safety without compromising light weight.

At the heart of this helmet’s safety features is the patented ODS (Omni-Directional Suspension) technology, which employs a series of dampers that allow the outer shell and inner liner to move independently. In the event of an impact, the ODS system disperses the force across a larger area, reducing the risk of injury. This advanced technology is particularly effective in mitigating rotational forces that can cause brain injuries in the event of collisions.

Comfort is also a critical factor when choosing a helmet, and the 6D ATR-3’s inner liner is designed to provide a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring it stays securely in place while riding.

Despite its advanced ventilation system, the 6D ATR-3 is designed to minimize wind noise. The aerodynamic shape of the helmet, combined with the strategically placed vents, helps reduce the noise levels, allowing for a quieter and more enjoyable riding experience.

The FXR 6D ATR-3 helmet stands out for its innovative safety features, exceptional comfort, and superior performance. Its advanced materials, coupled with the patented ODS technology, make it one of the safest helmets on the market.

The list of improvements starts with a new sliding system that now uses a round tube within square tube, which significantly reduces surface area contact, minimizing friction points making it way easier to slide the deck wings in and out.

UHMW is still used inside the square tubing to reduce friction even further. Side rails are now bolted to rails vs the old way of welding them, which allow for slight adjustments to alignment in case slide rails get out of alignment. Further to this, slide rails now have two bolt location points which will limit extension width of wings for narrow mountain sleds vs trail sleds.

New decking material is a much thicker HDPE top with molded traction mat. HDPE deck is heavy duty mold and won’t warp due to heat expansion in the summer months. Hidden Marlon and BRAAP badging are revealed when you pull the wings out and Marlon says this puts your deck in “BRAAP mode”.

You’ll also find a new U-Style deck hook used to secure sleds in place. The outer hook is for trail sleds and inner hook is for Mountain sleds. The 2-point locations make sure the supplied Superclamp is perfectly centered to ski widths. Marlon decks still use full-length Supertracs on the outside wings for multiple tie-down locations.

The weather seal kit, which has been offered as an add-on accessory in the past is now comes standard and to make the underside of the deck even more weatherproof there’s a full sheet of aluminum that significantly reduces water leakage from the top of the deck into the bed.

The Xplore Pro III is available in black and white, and Marlon has gone away from decals and replaced with laser cut plates with interchangeable color backing with 4 rivet nuts.

8Ft deck fits into 6.2ft to 8ft truck beds and the 7 ft deck fits 5.5ft to 6.2ft boxes.
