When choosing a snowmobile, you need to consider the thickness of the snow cover, the capacity of the machine and your preferences. Engine power, speed and cross-country ability are of great importance.
When choosing a snowmobile, first of all, you need to take into account your requirements for the car and the type of terrain in which it is planned to operate. The capacity of the car is no less important: the ability to go out of town with a friend or in splendid isolation will depend on this. How to choose a snowmobile?
Criterias of choice
First of all, you need to know that snowmobiles can be sports, mountain, tourist, and utilitarian - a whidtrack. With a shallow snow depth - up to 1 meter, the search circle expands significantly, you can choose any of the presented models. If you plan to drive a car along a well-groomed and flat track with friends, you should stop at a sports snowmobile, remembering that it is very difficult to get through the forest with such a car. The mountain snowmobile is specially designed for deep snow and rough terrain. However, to ensure good cross-country ability, this vehicle will need the assistance of a pilot.
Utility snowmobiles have a wide track and a hitch, allowing you to transport up to half a ton of cargo. This "tank" loses to other models in speed, but it has no equal in the forest. Another undoubted plus - you can go skiing with the whole family. When choosing a sniper, you should pay attention to the engine and front suspension: the engine volume can vary from 550 cubic meters to 1000 cubic meters of four-stroke. As for the suspension, the lever has excellent controllability, and the telescopic "is not afraid" of hemp and obstacles. The latter is most often chosen by hunters. Supertracks are equipped with an even wider track, but this does not have the best effect on handling.
What else is worth paying attention to
There is a huge variety of modifications of a tourist snowmobile, such a car is usually chosen by family people who do not go far from home. The main disadvantage of "tourists" is their large size and weight, sometimes it is quite difficult to pull out such an "elephant". In general, mountain and sport snowmobiles are designed for aggressive solo riding, while the other pair are designed for comfortable and comfortable riding for the passenger and the pilot. Those who have fixed their eyes on the "tourist" should choose a model with a powerful engine - 800 cubic meters. Residents of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East can purchase only those models that are able to move through a thick layer of snow. Those who live in the West of Russia have a wider choice.
