Snowmobile BRP Lynx COMMANDER LTD 900 ACE TURBO (650W) ES 2021

BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is a powerful snowmobile, one of the most productive among utilitarian machines in this class. Here we have products from a Canadian developer that have passed a whole range of factory tests in harsh climatic zones. The car has an aggressive design, made in the proprietary BRP concept. Moreover, the device has a rather rare design - instead of classic telescopic struts, A-shaped arms are used, thanks to which the suspension characteristics are significantly improved, and benefit handling, smoothness and softness. Also included in the basic package is a roll stabilization system, front adjustable shock absorbers with an adjustment height of up to 210 mm and other reinforced components. Among other features, we note the rear shock absorbers, which can also be adjusted – in the range of up to 340 mm. Based on this, the universal capabilities of the device can be tested in forested and snowy areas, with deep and loose snowdrifts, as well as on compacted roads.

To ensure a reliable and fast ride, the developers took care of installing the following components:

1. High-performance Rotax E-TEC powerplant with long service life
2. Ski extensions
3. Massive caterpillars. Their width is 500 mm
4. High lugs
5. Steering wheel adjustment function
6. Handrails for the driver.

It is noteworthy that the machine is convenient to use even in a standing position. Especially for this purpose, the steering wheel has a curved shape and is supplemented with a mountain strap, and the instrument panel itself is located quite high. This ensures comfortable riding in a standing position during aggressive movement, as well as in a standard sitting position. In addition, such an arrangement of control elements indicates a high level of ergonomics.

The weight of the structure is distributed along the entire length of the machine, and this has improved directional stability, which is especially important when cornering. In addition, especially for this purpose, the machine is equipped with long tracks that overcome all road irregularities well and allow you to climb and descend any slopes and off-road areas. This could also include ice space. In terms of its driving performance, the snowmobile of the same name is not inferior to more famous and expensive cars. Let us note another important feature - a gearbox with a low gear ratio to simplify the transportation of cargo containers in harsh conditions.

Structural strength is enhanced by a one-piece chassis and spot-welded frame. Thanks to this chassis, it became possible to install a narrowed seat. Thus, it was possible to maintain a natural position while driving. The presence of heated steering wheel and seat functions had a beneficial effect on comfort and ease of use. It is noteworthy that inside the base seat there is a spacious compartment for storing documents, things, accessories and other important items. As an option, you can install a passenger seat, which can be easily removed.

Particularly noteworthy are the new skis with Blade XC blades, which provide ideal grip properties. In this way, it was possible to eliminate slipping and slipping when cornering. The result is improved handling and stability. By the way, the snowmobile’s chassis was modified by specialists from the Finnish division of BRP. The overall weight of the ski is reduced by 2.2 kg compared to standard Blade skis. The high windshield is borrowed from its predecessor.

Basic equipment elements:

1. Metal steering wheel with handles
2. Driver's handrail
3. Electric starter
4. Towbar
5. Rearview mirror
6. Heated steering wheel function
7. Digital instrument panel.

Modifications

Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is a relatively new snowmobile that has already received several modifications. Among them is the extreme version of the Commander 800 Xtrim RE TEC, which received a sports front suspension and an improved engine. The result was a faster vehicle. After some time, an equally interesting version of the snowmobile from this series was released. It is called LYNX Xtrim Commander 800 Touratech R E-TEC and stands out with its bright tuning from the German studio Touratech. Of course, the improvements affected not only the external, but also the technical part. As a result, it was possible to create a car with a reliable chassis and sporty settings, but without sacrificing comfort. In addition, the car received an adjustable rear suspension, and adjustments can be made directly from the steering column. The front suspension was left the same so as not to complicate the design.

What is the price

A snowmobile in Russia can be purchased through official BRP dealers. There are offices and warehouses in all major cities. Delivery is carried out throughout the CIS. The price of the new Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is RUB 1,399,000.

A used car will cost much less - 1,010,000-1,250,000 rubles. In this case, not only the year of production, equipment, mileage, but also the general technical condition of the car are important. For 980,000-9,950,000 rubles. you can buy a Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC that requires replacement parts. Here are approximate prices for some components (in rubles):

Engine

The machine is equipped with a Rotax 800R E-TEC engine with proprietary 3-D RAVE technology. In addition, let's pay attention to the mixed cooling system with a radiator and an electric fan. The system also integrates liquid cooling. These components are combined with each other in such a way as to ensure optimal temperature and stable operation. The engine starts using an electric starter - by pressing a button, or manually.

The motor in question has little in common with classic engines with a two-stroke layout. The developers paid special attention to the direct injection system, which is responsible for controlling mixture formation. Fuel injection is carried out directly into the combustion chamber, and occurs at the moment when the intake and exhaust valves close. As a result, this had a beneficial effect on efficiency, relative noiselessness and minimal vibrations. By the way, in terms of noise, this unit can be compared with more productive 4-stroke engines. Thanks to its large power reserves, the Rotax 800R E-TEC engine can easily withstand heavy loads - for example, when driving with a trailer and two passengers. The engine displacement is 0.8 liters and the power is 164 horsepower. With such indicators, a snowmobile is capable of reaching over 100 km/h.

Advantages of the Rotax 800R E-TEC motor:

1. Low fuel consumption (12 liters per 100 km)
2. Quick start (from the first revolutions)
3. Minimum noise and high environmental performance
4. Fast throttle response
5. High efficiency and long range (325 km)
6. The engine does not require much oil
7. Smooth idle speed
8. Automatic preservation
9. The engine produces virtually no unpleasant odors or smoke
10. Running in automatic mode.

Summary

On the Commander 900 ACE, there's a new U-shaped steel handle, cream molded cage, power visor socket, and the aforementioned EASY RIDE. It feels like the Commander is a more complete scooter than its predecessor. It used to rely a lot on its character, but over time all Commander models have become more focused on being good in slightly different areas. This particular model, which is a little stripped down, works great as a base to build with all the nice accessories. Versatility is a trend in technology and the Commander snowmobile manufacturer follows it.

Reviews

• Alexander, St. Petersburg. This is one of the special vehicles I have ever ridden. The Commander 800 R E-TEC not only looks powerful, but also drives just as powerful. As soon as I sit in it, I immediately want to press the gas with all my heart. Despite the power of more than 160 hp. pp., the snowmobile is quite economical - fuel consumption in extreme driving mode does not exceed 22 liters per 126 kilometers. The measurements were taken while driving on normal snowy roads, without any snowdrifts. The dynamic capabilities of the car are impressive. And here, with exaggeration, we can say that in front of me is a ground-controlled missile. In terms of reliability, the snowmobile is very durable, and there cannot be any serious disadvantages. I was convinced of this after two years of use.
• Kubrat, Grozny. At first, I had purely positive impressions of using this powerful machine. I immediately noticed the high build quality, perfectly fitted parts, absence of strong noise and vibrations, comfortable seat with adjustments and high maneuverability. When starting the engine, just press the treasured button. The car accelerates like a sports snowmobile. A few months later I discovered a problem with the automatic warm-up system that kicks in when starting up. The fact is that at this moment a special display should appear on the display. When it goes out, the warm-up is complete and you can start driving. But after a while the display stopped going out altogether. It turned out that this was just an error, which was later removed from the service. In the first year of use I drove 1000 km. The machine was constantly used with standard tracks, which are without spikes. Despite this, there were no problems with directional stability.
• Vitaly, Vorkuta. I used to have a Viking, then I changed it to a Commander. It’s clear that the difference between these machines is like heaven and earth. But it took me a while to get used to the new car. The fact is that at first I had to get used to starting from a place too abruptly. Fast acceleration up to 160 km/h is mesmerizing. Then, of course, I got used to it, but I have to be extremely careful. There are some shortcomings in the ergonomics - for example, I didn’t like the glass, which is located very low. In terms of handling, there are no complaints - the snowmobile is very maneuverable and dynamic. The device goes absolutely everywhere thanks to the 44th toe on the track, like on mountain models. In general, I was not mistaken with my choice - it turned out to be a kind of semi-sports and mountain snowmobile utility vehicle. The most significant disadvantage is the high price, expensive maintenance and scarce spare parts.
• Rustam, Sevastopol. The car is relatively new, only driven 250 km. Of course, I won’t draw serious conclusions just yet, but I already have general impressions. For example, I was convinced of the high carrying capacity of the snowmobile - it pulled at least two comrades (including me) along with the load with a bang. It is also possible to move in the forest, through the steppes, along relief terrain, deep snowdrifts, and also on highways. In the latter case, they accelerated to 150 km/h. There was one case when the snowmobile simply stood up and could not budge. This happened on virgin soil when we were moving uphill. I came to the conclusion that I should try to turn it back. Did not help. I still had to trample the caterpillar. It helped, let's move on. Gasoline consumption is on average 20 liters - this figure is normal for a snowmobile with such power.

What is the price of the unit

Price: SEK 132,900 (in the currency of the country of origin). In rubles this is 904,000 rubles. Translated into dollars, this will be the same price as 6-7 years ago, since the manufacturer cares about its customers and meets them halfway in purchasing quality products.

Additional components provided in the kit can cost up to 30,000. The kit includes floor mats, interior trim fabric, accessories, a set of handles and tools for field repairs.
