Ski-Doo Summit SP 600HO E-TEC 154 – TEST

BRP Ski-Doo Skandic WT 600 is an excellent offer for adventure lovers in the northern regions of Russia. The machine is adapted to the harshest climatic conditions that exist in nature. This is confirmed by both successful factory tests and positive consumer reviews. The model in question is capable of moving on loose snow and works flawlessly in severe frosts. The fact is that in the production of the Ski-Doo Skandic WT 600, high-quality components are used, and the developer of the snowmobile is the Canadian concern Bombardier Recreational Product, which is one of the leaders in the production of such machines. The products of this legendary brand stand out for their high quality, comfort and innovative technical solutions.

So, the BRP Ski-Doo Skandic WT 600 is a classic snowmobile at an affordable price. The machine is easy to handle and suitable for driving in open areas and forest areas. This equipment can easily overcome a deep snowdrift, including snow of various consistencies - dry, loose, wet, compacted snow, etc. Good cross-country ability is due to a carefully tuned suspension, and the comfortable driver's seat and backrest can be “adapted” to any operator . The design also includes a second seat, which can be removed if desired. Overall, the high-performance BRP Ski-Doo Skandic WT 600 unit copes well with tasks of any complexity.

Let us note some features that distinguish this model from most competitors. Firstly, it is a adjusted center weight distribution and improved directional stability. We will also add a small mass of the entire structure here. These improvements had a beneficial effect on ease of control and maneuverability. The exterior of the car is made in accordance with the signature design concept of the Bombardier brand. Characteristic features of the BRP model range are a streamlined body and smooth lines. And secondly, the snowmobile of the same name is endowed with the following features for comfortable operation:

  1. The steering column is made of metal, with rubberized linings that improve the quality of the grip (so that your hands do not slip).
  2. Large windshield with good visibility and protection from strong winds and flying snow. Moreover, the heavy-duty glass can withstand impacts from falling branches.
  3. Hook towbar with locking device, necessary for transporting large loads.
  4. Heated grip function
  5. Adjustable driver's seat with luggage rack
  6. Rearview mirrors
  7. A set of control and measuring instruments and indicators.

Modifications

  1. The basic version of the WT 600 is available with two suspension modifications. So, you can choose a telescopic or wishbone front suspension. The basic package includes a telescopic suspension. Accordingly, wishbone suspension is offered as an option. In both cases, the snowmobile is able to overcome difficult off-road sections, but does it more gently in the case of a “lever” circuit.
  2. WT 600 SUV – modification with wishbone suspension. Such a machine is most in demand in forests and other hard-to-reach places where high maneuverability is required from a snowmobile. A distinctive feature of the lever suspension is its softness. A significant design flaw is that various stumps and branches cling to the levers, and as a result the suspension becomes clogged. In this case, the lever suspension is less reliable and durable than the more rigid telescopic suspension.
  3. WT 600 HO E-TEC is a machine with an updated E-TEC power unit.
  4. WT ACE is a modified snowmobile with a more durable design and a modified engine. This machine is suitable for extremely low temperatures.
  5. The SWT 600 is the best snowmobile from the family under consideration. This modification is equipped with advanced shock absorbers, universal suspension, a new power plant and massive tracks. As a result of these modifications, a powerful, comfortable and passable snowmobile with an impressive and “menacing” appearance was obtained.


Basic equipment elements:

  1. Passenger seat with adjustable backrest
  2. Electric starter
  3. Instruments showing fuel level, speed and mileage
  4. Rear view mirrors

Among the variety of snowmobile models that can be found in the vastness of our country, Ski-Doo vehicles have long felt confident and comfortable. And this is not surprising, since Bombardier, the company that produces these snowmobiles, appeared on the market more than 55 years ago. This happened back in 1957, and the company’s name was given by the famous inventor of snow driving machines, Joseph-Armand Bombardier.

One of the most common models of Ski-Doo snowmobiles, which can be seen here, is the Ski-Doo Skandic 600 Suv WT, which, like all other devices from this company, is equipped with a water cooling system and an Austrian engine. By the way, the engine here is quite serious - two-stroke. Its volume is 600 cubes. But let's talk about everything in order.

As you know, one of the most important characteristics of snowmobiles is their stability and maneuverability in difficult areas of rough terrain. To provide such stability, the Ski-Doo Skandic 600 Suv WT has wide tracks, the width of which is 50.8 centimeters. The already mentioned two-cylinder engine has a power of up to 110 horsepower, which allows the snowmobile to quickly cover kilometers of road, even if it is carrying a substantial load in an additional sled.

In addition to forward gears, the device also has reverse, and coupled with a lower gear, this allows you to confidently overcome various obstacles and not be afraid of getting stuck in a snowdrift for a long time. The Suv prefix in the model name means that it is equipped with a lever suspension, which is softer than telescopic and greatly simplifies vehicle control.

It must be said that the lever suspension is most common in models of vehicles moving on snow, but in our conditions it has a slight drawback. The bottom line is that due to certain design features, a snowmobile with a lever suspension can get caught on a branch or stump, and therefore, for working in particularly difficult conditions, you should give preference to a snowmobile with a telescopic suspension.

Well, despite the fact that, in theory, the snowmobile is not threatened with particularly strong heating due to the fact that natural cooling is provided for it, when moving on ice, cooling of the components is especially necessary. Liquid cooling, which is equipped with the Ski-Doo Skandic 600 Suv WT, ensures stable temperatures and reduces wear of parts and assemblies, which in turn can always be easily ordered in bulk for a snowmobile from almost any manufacturer from ]MotoDetal LLC[/anchor]. The company has been on the motorcycle spare parts market since 2007 and has been pleasing its customers with good service, reasonable prices and all kinds of promotions and discounts for more than 10 years.

Engine

A two-stroke gasoline engine with an air cooling system is responsible for performance. This unit can withstand high and extreme loads. Its distinctive features are compactness and low weight, as well as high fuel efficiency. Air cooling in this case is no less effective than liquid cooling. This has been proven in practice, because thanks to the air system you can even drive on ice. The design of such a system is simpler and easier to maintain, since it does not require a radiator. The two-carburetor system doses the mixture, and the principle of cooling is the operation of a fan, as well as a counter air flow. The presence of an electric starter allows for uninterrupted starting of the internal combustion engine in frosty weather. The power unit is endowed with a large reserve of torque, which has a beneficial effect on overcoming the most difficult road sections.

With a displacement of 0.6 liters, the power unit develops 90 horsepower. The two-cylinder design is compact and easy to maintain. High maintainability allows you to repair the car not only in the garage, but also in harsh climatic conditions. All thanks to the fact that a basic set of tools is enough for this, which is the prerogative of the basic package.

Reviews

  • Igor, Krasnoyarsk. I can call this snowmobile a classic, inexpensive and fast machine. In addition, it is very practical and repairable. Service does not take much time. The snowmobile performed well on vacation, as well as in working conditions. The equipment consumes about 20 liters per hour, and you can fill it with inexpensive 92-grade gasoline. I used to have a Taiga snowmobile, which the BRP cannot compare to, although the fuel consumption is about the same. In general, I liked the car in all respects - interesting appearance, cross-country ability, durable chassis, vigorous acceleration and high top speed. I've been using the snowmobile for four years now, and so far I'm happy with everything.
  • Nikolay, Vladivostok. I have been using this machine for more than five years. The device is used to its fullest extent. I've done several challenging rides on the tundra, and in such conditions the snowmobile has never let me down. It has a smart design and an off-road chassis that allows you to overcome difficult terrain. For example, this is the underbody protection, which has repeatedly saved the day. A separate topic is elasticity and acceleration dynamics. The car drives absolutely everywhere, for example between trees - this is largely due to the sharp steering and responsive reactions. The disadvantages are insignificant - mainly the whistling of the rollers, creaking and vibrations in the suspension. Does not affect reliability.
  • Boris, Murmansk region. I am of two minds about this snowmobile. On the one hand, this is an incredibly reliable device, capable of covering 150-170 kilometers without any problems. I would like to note the excellent build quality, the absence of noise and vibration. There is nothing knocking or rattling in the suspension. Even at the beginning of operation, one problem appeared - oil was leaking through the gas tank cap. In the end I decided to install a new rubber gasket and the problem went away. In terms of handling, the Ski-Doo WT 600 model is no worse than the Yamaha. This device is a good option for forest conditions. The materials are high quality, you can’t complain. There is support for 92 gasoline. But spare parts are not only expensive, they are also in short supply. This is a serious problem - especially in the event that unscheduled maintenance occurs. Fortunately, everything is fine so far. This is my second year using it.
  • Mikhail, Primorsky Krai. The BRP Ski-Doo Skandic WT 600 Ace snowmobile is a powerful and reliable assistant that I have owned for more than three years. Of course, during this time there were breakdowns. After all, the mileage exceeds 3500 km. After the 1st thousand, knocking noises appeared in the gearbox. Fortunately, the warranty has not yet expired, and I took it to the service center. The service people blamed it on careless operation, and I had to pay for repairs... There were no more such oddities. Handling is excellent - both on a snowy track, and in the forest, in deep snow, etc. The engine is quite noisy, but there is nothing to be done about it - design features. And yet, compared to domestic analogues, the WT 600 Ace looks much better, but costs much more.
