Spring’s arrival means the snowmobile season’s days are numbered, but at least snowmobilers can anticipate manufacturers unveiling the next model year’s snowmobiles. Yamaha and Polaris have each released details about one of their 2013 snowmobiles, and the wraps will come off theirs and the other manufacturers’ lineups over the next few weeks.
Whether you’re thinking of buying a new 2013-model snowmobile or just want a chance to check out the latest and greatest machines that will hit the trails next season, each of the manufacturers have set up sneak peek events that are open to the public.
Arctic Cat, Polaris and Yamaha have teamed up on their unveils, which will hit 22 locations across the country from March 2 through April 9, 2012. The manufacturers will give snowmobilers a look at their new 2013 snowmobiles, with each displaying 15 to 18 snowmobiles. That’s more than 50 new snowmobiles for 2013 displayed on one show floor at the same time.
Curious snowmobilers can see, touch, sit on and inspect the sleds that will be at their dealer in the fall. Final decisions and determining whether to take advantage of the special incentives offered during the spring buying programs is easier to make with hands-on inspection of the various models.
Ski-Doo will run its own sneak peek tour in the U.S. and Canada where 2013 snowmobile models will be on display at 19 western and 18 eastern U.S. locations from February 27 to April 15, 2012. BRP will also showcase its Spyder roadster, Sea-Doo watercraft and Can-Am ATVs.
