Sled Tests

Ski-Doo Freeride 137

Blurring the line: Has Ski-Doo gone mad?

Published: January 11, 2012

Contrary to what you might hear from some media types, we think Ski-Doo was right-on in offering the Freeride 137 this year. We have mentioned in other crossover and hybrid comparisons this season that the line between what is considered a crossover sled and what is considered a mountain sled is becoming more blurry each model year. With that said, we still believe the Freeride is really a mountain sled, not a trail sled.

Here are some reasons why, as well as some additional test ride observations.
