Know your Purpose

Polaris offers a wide range of motorsport vehicles that are great both on and off the trail. Before investing in a new snowmobile, it’s important to know what your intentions are. Before jumping at an opportunity to buy, it’s good practice to envision what you’ll be doing with your new vehicle. Will you be using your snowmobile to haul items and explore the backcountry or are you looking for something to explore well-groomed trails with a partner? Plot out exactly what you want in your Polaris® snowmobile so that our dealers can give you exactly what you need.

What to Double Check For

Just like with any other vehicle, a Polaris® snowmobile comes with several essential features that need to be in good condition to make for a safe and enjoyable ride. 

Suspension: It’s important to know what condition your shocks are in before buying a snowmobile. Don’t be afraid to ask a dealer if the shocks on a snowmobile have ever needed servicing. If you’re buying a new Polaris® snowmobile, it’s still good to look out for any manufacturing flaws that could affect your experience.

Clutches: Once given the opportunity to take a snowmobile out for a test run it’s important to check that the clutch works exactly as it should. Your clutch should engage somewhere sound 4,000 RPMs. This ensures your safety when riding.

Gearing: Our team at Peak Powersports would happily accommodate any client who requests a dipstick test to check the gearings of their snowmobile. This is a quick process to determine whether all necessary features are in working order.

Know What Accessories are Best for You

Given the extensive list of snowmobile models that Polaris added to their lineup in 2018, there’s a huge variety of accessories to now choose from. This ties back to knowing your purpose when shopping for a snowmobile so that you don’t end up being overwhelmed or overspending on accessories you don’t need. Whether it’s passenger seating or digital display, be sure to ask our dealers what’s best for your desired purpose when shopping for a Polaris® snowmobile.

Buying a Polaris® snowmobile can be just as enjoyable as riding if you find a dealer who can satisfy your needs. Visit us in Sheridan, WY, today and we’ll be happy to make the process as smooth as possible. Peak Powersports LLC is also proud to serve all customers from Buffalo.  Give us a call!
