2018 Ski-Doo FREERIDE 154 S-38 850 E-Tec

Description

When pushing yourself and your sled to the limit in deep snow, you might want some extra stability for those landings...this Freeride 154's S-38 front end is the ideal combo of stability and deep snow carving agility.

• MORE POWER YOU CAN FEEL

  The most powerful 2-stroke engine in the industry.* It pumps out 10 more horsepower (165 hp) than its predecessor, but its responsiveness is what really shines. With the new pDrive primary clutch, it’s 30% quicker responding than the 800R E-TEC giving you the instant control you demand. *Observed HP measured on internal dyno test in optimal conditions for 2-stroke engines.

• EASIEST STARTING

  Push-button starting with almost no added weight. After an initial pull-start, the engine charges an ultracapacitor. Pushing the handlebar SHOT button for subsequent starts uses energy stored in the ultracapacitor to turn the magneto into an electric motor that rotates the flywheel, and with E-TEC technology, starts the engine. Eliminates nearly 20 lb. (9 kg) compared to conventional electric start. SHOT starting is only possible with Ski-Doo-exclusive E-TEC technology.

• NEXT GENERATION OF A LEGEND

  Key to the Freeride’s agility is the extreme mass centralization of the 4th generation REV platform. The 850 E-TEC engine is compact and centered between the skis, making the vehicle easy to roll. The trademark pyramidal frame, new die-cast aluminum front suspension module and new heat exchanger design ensure it’s strong, yet lightweight.

• QUICK, EFFICIENT, EASY

  A major factor in the quickness of REV Gen4 sleds is the new pDrive clutch. Fast and friction-free dual rollers transfer torque in place of traditional sliding buttons on this 100% new clutch. The oversize rollers with needle bearings, wide flyweights and shaft-on-shaft design emphasize smooth operation and long life. Ultra-responsive shifting, impressive RPM consistency and 2.8 lb./ 1.3 kg lighter than the TRA VII.

• PRO-LEVEL SHOCKS

  These shocks are standard on the MXZx 600RS race sled - so you know they're extremely capable and durable for control in the toughest conditions. Remote reservoir design for performance and they are a rebuildable/revalvable. Easy Adjust compression damping knob does not require tools; rebound adjustments are standard as well.

• DESIGNED FOR THE MOUNTAINS

  We advanced mountain sled design for easier and more predictable handling in all conditions. The narrow body panels, bottom pan, tunnel and running boards are designed for optimal interface with snow in mountain maneuvers. An open tunnel end eliminates drag.

• SURE FOOTING

  Snow passes easily through the extruded grid-style board preventing washout and trenching, plus clears footrests for grip. Flatter foot position for comfort and control. .75 in. / 20mm higher than REV-XM.

• CARVES WITH YOU

  The tMotion flexes laterally, reducing the effort to initiate a roll, due to a ball joint at the center hinge between the rear arm and drop link and split flat-tube front arms. Very progressive motion ratio makes the ride on trails even more comfortable.

• PRECISION FRONT END

  Similar geometry and steering to the RAS 3 mountain front end for capability and light steering feel on- and off-trail. Optimized for crossover usage, two ski stance positions dial in handling: 40.1 in. (102 cm) or 38.4 in. (97.5 cm).
