Hot on the heels of Club BRP in California came the annual Hay Days heroics. Since 1966 the snowmobile grass drags event hosted by the Sno Barons has marked “the official start of winter.” Becoming the place to debut new sleds, liquidate old inventory in the 30-acre swap meet and basically make hay in northern Minnesota while the sun is shining. Not one to let the opportunity escape for some positive momentum going into this sled season, BRP busted out its revamped MXZ-600 RS Snocross Racer.
Already one of the most dominant platforms in Snocross with a 70% win rate on the 2024 ISOC circuit, the design team went back to the playbook to deliver on the three tenets the MXZ was founded on: performance, ease of use and durability. “Taking a snowmobile right out of the crate and being able to race it competitively with as little work as possible is what defines easy for a racer,” notes Steve Cowing, PR and Media Relations Manager – Snowmobiles. “With the Rotax 600RS E-TEC powerplant and its twin injector system, ease of use is already built in with optimal throttle response and maximum power in all conditions courtesy of the sophisticated engine management system – no need to tune the engine – ever!”
The KYB Pro 46 shocks featuring adjustable high and low speed compression and rebound damping make fast, easy suspension adjustments to suit riders and tracks the norm. A couple more features to make it easy this year will be the addition of the holeshot device and the reinforced snow-flap being installed right at the factory so racers or their crews can spend less time wrenching and more time on their riding skills.
