ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER ?

Snowmobiles are getting more and more sophisticated

FASHIONABLE GARMENTS AND ACCESSORIES All things considered, we’re currently witnes- sing the advent of increasingly refined sleds with features like heated seats and handles. You can even find video cameras that attach to a snow- mobile’s handlebars, for filming your feats as you drive! And the luxury craze is driving manufacturers to be just as creative when it comes to clothing, boot and helmet design. Recent trends have shown that men and women are choosing suits that match their snowmobile’s paint job. Among new and unusual gadgets that are gaining po- pularity, electric snow shields have been turning up on helmets.

Snowmobile manufacturers are constantly pu- shing the boundaries of technology to deliver the best possible driving experience with every sled. For the past few years, engineers have been fa- cing the added challenge of satisfying consu- mers that want more and more power combined with better energy efficiency. The snowmobile industry is adapting to the age of eco-friendliness by designing powertrains that produce minimal pollution and developing more sophisticated lubrication systems to reduce oil consumption. Similarly, transmissions are get- ting smarter in an effort to eliminate internal component friction and reduce fuel consump- tion. Using lighter materials like aluminum and magnesium in the manufacturing of mechanical parts also helps reduce the weight and energy consumption of modern snowmobiles.

Snowmobile luggage racks are extremely versatile.
