For those wondering if this sled would overheat? In all our day riding, it never happened even on road and we don't have a set of scratcher on the machine yet. And it say between 3 and 4 on the cluster.

these little 600efi motors at 85 hp are overachievers !! i have a 2021 expedition sport and i cant get over how powerful it really is no shit. 85 mph no problem 154 inch track think about it 13 ft of track 85hp and 85mph , mind blowing!! its all in he clutching ! mine engages at 2400 rpm. very impressed .. i highly recommend!!

the BC Sport climb on snow very easily. Lack the power to wheelies on flat ground, but once we pin it, it will climb slope. I'm very impress so far! Your expedition sport is a great value, this would be my go to for family sled.

Very anxious to see next winter, I’m waiting for a 600 EFI Skandic WT 20” . Mostly for hauling and some work and trail breaking, this engine looks like it will be just fine

Just put my deposit on an in stock Backcountry 600 EFI with 2" track! I was looking for a snowmobile to share with my 11 year old son who weighs 150 lbs. I wanted a Blast mountain 400cc but this was cheaper, more power, and only 40 lbs more. He drives my dad's expedition sport 900ace, that's 580 lbs dry. This Backcountry is around 440 lbs, so 140 lbs lighter! 12,750$ for a brand new sled (plus taxes). If my buddies with mountain sleds go first, I'm sure I will be able to follow!

This is a little crawler it go very far, crazy far if driven smart and tuned. This is a great purchase! I loved it on 1.6 and on 2 inches it was very good. The motor as plenty of power to turn that track. We rode it pretty deep and this machine was very impressive. Since it is 2 stroke if you get stuck, you can flip it upside down.

@PierresAdventures

1.6 inch. A buddy of mine got a 2 incher and this thing pop the ski very nicely on any decent hill. For the trail, it is good, less on a rail than a renegade but it handle well the pilot ds may get Darty sometimes, if you plan on doing a lot of trail getting some good snow tracker may be interesting. Otherwise it is just of matter of tuning the rear skid to your riding style. I would recommend it without hesitation.

@TerraTrax yea as much as I like that engine design I feel for a crossover for myself it is probably a bit under powered. I got really used to a low mileage 2004 xc 700 and I think that has about 120-125 hp. But it’s still worth a test drive. Thanks for the post

Compared to the Expedition Sport 900 ACE the Backcountry Sport 600 EFI is 50 lbs. lighter. Compare the EFI 600 vs 900 ACE engines. The Backcountry Sport sure looked more manageable breaking trail than the heavier Expedition Sport. It looks like you had no problem in the deep snow.

Hi Bob, the backcountry feel more nimble due to his shorter track and light weight. It sure climb good on the snow. When it get really deep and steep I m not ready to say that the expedition was less good. This one is way funnier to get un stuck since you can simply flip it. As per power the 900 ace has more torque and was raising the ski higher when pinned. Overall this is playful machine. But an expedition 600 efi with the seat rest removed would be too. Thanks for watching.

C’était ma machine d’essai au magazine motoneiges.ca . Je l’ai adoré, abordable, léger, on peut renverser la machine quand on est stuck. Certains ont eue des problèmes de surchauffe, pas moi. Un des chroniqueurs en a acheté un après l’essai. En même temps un 600 ace c est presque indestructible et ça garde plus sa valeur. Le 600 Efi est plus puissant et la machine tombe plus légère. Dans les deux cas une bonne machine. Pour moi le 2t est important pour me déprendre mais je travail pas avec les machines en général. Voilà
