Snowmobile Types

Snowmobiles make traveling over snow-cover terrain fast and easy, whether you’re doing work or looking for thrills. Different snowmobile types are better for different things. That’s why the experts at Honda East Toledo have created this guide to the various snowmobile types. 

Trail Snowmobiles

Trail snowmobiles are a good choice if you plan to stick to established trails. These somewhat basic snowmobiles are very easy for newcomers to handle. They sport lighweight frames and short tracks to provide better grip on icy surfaces. 

Mountain Snowmobiles

If you plan to do a lot of riding off of established trails, then a mountain snowmobile is your best bet. These snowmobiles have powder skis and longer tracks to provide better control when riding over deep snow. Other common features include beefier suspension systems and powerful engines for better performance on rough terrain. 

Utility Snowmobiles

Most people use snowmobiles for fun rather than work these days, but they are still very useful for work in remote areas. Utility snowmobiles are designed with sturdy chassis and long tracks in order to better handle heavy loads. These kinds of snowmobiles are most often used for hauling passengers or cargo. 

Touring Snowmobiles 

Touring motorcycles are built for longer trips rather than utility work or thrill riding. They are designed to maximize comfort, with ergonomic seating, heated handles, and improved windshield. They also usually have longer wheelbases to provide better stability. 

Performance Snowmobiles

Performance snowmobiles are designed to maximize speed and agility. While difficult to control, they offer unmatched performance. Performance snowmobiles are typically used by professional riders or racers.
