SKID PLATE: PROTECTION AGAIN TERRAIN HAZARDS

Why You Need a Skid Plate

A skid plate is essential for deep snow riders to safeguard their snowmobiles from potential damage caused by hidden obstacles like rocks, stumps, and debris lurking beneath the snow. It provides a sturdy barrier that shields the sled's underbelly, ensuring durability and longevity.

Dave Norona recommends coupling this with an accessory front or rear bumper to add height for easy access in deep snow, and to improve leverage when pulling or lifting.

Features and Benefits

  • Enhanced Durability: Built from robust materials, Ski-Doo's skid plates are designed to withstand impacts, ensuring your sled remains protected in challenging terrain.
  • Improved Traction: Some skid plates feature integrated grab points, facilitating easier extraction of the sled when stuck in deep snow.
  • Compatibility: Available with options to combine with front or rear bumpers, increasing accessibility and leverage during recovery efforts.

 

TOE HOLDS: STABILITY AND CONTROL

The Importance of Toe Holds

Toe holds are indispensable for maintaining stability and control while maneuvering through varying snow conditions. They anchor your feet securely to the sled, preventing slips and ensuring a firm grip during high-speed rides.

Key Features

  • Ergonomic Design: Designed for comfort and performance, Ski-Doo's toe holds are ergonomically shaped to accommodate different boot sizes and riding styles.
  • Enhanced Safety: Provides riders with confidence by minimizing the risk of foot slippage, especially crucial when navigating steep inclines or sharp turns.

 

RISER BLOCKS: CUSTOMIZABLE HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENTS

Customizing Handlebar Height

Riser blocks allow riders to tailor their handlebar height according to personal preferences and riding conditions. This customization enhances comfort, control, and maneuverability, crucial for optimizing performance in deep snow environments.

Versatility and Options

  • Adjustability: Ski-Doo offers a range of fixed and adjustable riser blocks to accommodate riders of all sizes and preferences.
  • Performance Enhancement: By optimizing handlebar positioning, riders can achieve better posture and leverage, reducing fatigue and enhancing overall riding dynamics.
