VALCOURT, QC, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Ski-Doo, a brand of BRP Inc. (TSX:DOO) (NASDAQ:DOOO), is thrilled to announce that the 2026 Ski-Doo Summit X model with Expert Package has been named Snowmobile of the Year by Snow Goer magazine, one of the most respected publications in the snowmobiling industry.
The prestigious honor recognizes the Summit X with Expert Package as a snowmobile that perfectly embodies innovation, forward thinking design and real-world results with its deep-snow performance and rider-focused technology. It was selected based on Snow Goer's core evaluation pillars: innovation, ride quality, performance, and market impact.
"The Summit X with Expert Package is more stable, better at holding its line, even when crossing other rider's trenches, and less demanding of constant rider input," said Snow Goer editors in their announcement. "It results in easier, less-fatiguing rides. For the truly hardcore mountain riders, though, it simply means they can push limits even further."
Engineered for the most demanding mountain riders, the 2026 Summit X with Expert Package features the revolutionary REV Gen5 platform combined with the Rotax 850 E-TEC engines, with or without turbocharging, delivering razor-sharp handling and class-leading performance. It sets new benchmarks in the industry with its 32-inch wide front suspension and ski-stance, revised geometry, and the Twin Link steering system that take agility to new levels. They work together to allow easier deep snow carving, tighten steering feel, limit bump steer, and let the skis to turn further into the snow for stronger counter steering, enabling riders to stay focused on the terrain.

"The Summit X with Expert Package is not just a snowmobile—it's a tool for passionate mountain riders to explore new playgrounds and elevate their riding to the next level.
