The best part about the mid-sized Ski-Doo Neo lineup is that both models are full-featured sleds at a fraction of the size and cost. All come standard with electric start, reverse, hand warmers, digital displays and the option to add BRP’s industry-best LinQ cargo accessories. It’s the perfect way to enjoy winter together.
