2020 Ski-Doo Expedition® LE 600R E-TEC

Skidoo expedition sight unseen

I read about the new 2020 gen 4 expeditions and wanted to do a spring order. I could not find one to look at in my area so I took a chance and ordered it. I also own a 2013 skidoo backcountry which I love but was not as capable as I wanted in deep snow off trail in Northern Wisconsin and the UP of M...ichigan. I did have concerns before I bought it. There was the weight of it and I wondered if the 600 had enough power. I was concerned about the wide tunnel being uncomfortable to ride. I wondered about trail use and if it handled well on the twists and turns. I have put about 1000 miles on this past season. All my concerns were satisfied. I do not notice the extra weight and long track behind me even when riding 2 up. The 600 motor has plenty of power and out performs my 600 backcountry in every way. I have had it up to 96 mph and traction as expected is far superior especially in deep powder. You really have to hold on if you peg the throttle and it will do wheelies easily. I also don't notice the wide tunnel and the seat is extremely comfortable. Lastly it handles almost as well as my backcountry in trails. The deep keel on the skis keep it on track. You can't throw this thing around like a lighter sled but for my purposes off trail in the deep woods it is perfect. I can carry a small chainsaw, comealongs, tow straps and anything I want in the huge cargo bin. I have also towed out other sleds with ease in low range. Off trail I am the one breaking trail. I think this machine is better than any other models in deep snow except for long track mountain machines. I did get a smaller windshield for it since I don"t need the monster one it comes with. They are easy to change out so I can re-install the big one if it is extremely cold. This was a good buy. Read Full Review
