Description
Meet the 2027 Ski-Doo Backcountry™ Sport 600 EFI - 85 146 1.5 in head-turning Neo Yellow—the kind of color that looks like it was mixed specifically for bluebird mornings, fresh corduroy, and that first “let’s go find a little powder” detour off the trail. It’s a crossover at heart with a strong trail-first attitude, built to make your day feel longer, smoother, and a lot more entertaining.
At the center of the fun is a liquid-cooled Rotax® 600-class twin: a 2-stroke, horizontal in-line, reed-valve setup that’s fuel-injected and happy sipping regular gas. Hit the electric start, settle your thumb on the throttle, and let the CVT do what it does best—keep the power right where you want it while you focus on the line ahead. With 85 bhp on tap and a 7500 RPM redline, it’s got that lively, eager response that makes small straights feel like launch pads and winding trails feel like a rhythm section.
The REV Gen5 aluminum frame gives the sled a modern, purposeful feel—light, strong, and ready to play. You’ll notice it when you’re carving through tight sections, correcting mid-corner, or popping from one packed lane to the next. Up front, the RAS X independent double A-arm suspension and Pilot 5.7 skis keep steering precise and predictable, helped along by a stabilizer bar and carbide skags that bite with confidence when the trail turns firm. Out back, the cMotion rear suspension and its two-shock layout are there to soak up chatter and keep the ride composed when the pace picks up.
And pace is kind of the point here. The 146-inch Storm track with a 15-inch width and 1.5-inch lugs brings that crossover advantage: enough footprint and paddle to get you into the soft stuff, yet still nimble and trail-friendly when you’re back on the main run. It’s the “yes” machine—yes to groomed miles, yes to the shortcut through the trees, yes to the untouched sidehill you swear you’re only going to sample for a second (until it turns into the best hour of your day).
Comfort and control are baked in, too. A low windshield helps cut wind without blocking your view of what’s coming, and LED lighting keeps things crisp when daylight fades. Heated driver grips and an adjustable setup mean you can stay warm and dial in your feel. The one-piece vinyl seat is ready for long stretches, while the dash storage gives you a practical place to stash the essentials. Gauges keep an eye on fuel level and temperature so you can focus on riding, not guessing.
When it’s time to slow things down, the Brembo® hydraulic disc brake delivers clean, consistent stopping power. Need to maneuver in tight spots or back out of a questionable decision? Reverse is on your side. And with skid-resistant running boards, plus thoughtful protections like a belt guard, snow guard, and side covers, it’s built to keep the day moving.
Bottom line: this Neo Yellow Backcountry Sport is a trail-ready crossover with the personality to wander. It’s quick, confident, and just rowdy enough to convince you that “one last run” is always a good idea.
