Snowmobile Tundra 600: technical specifications, unit features, cost on the Internet, owner reviews

Specifications

The first generation of Ski-doo Tundra remained unchanged on the assembly line until 2006. The engine was weaker than the current version, the power was not enough to reach high speeds, but the snowmobile could also pass in hard-to-reach places, there was enough traction.

The 2nd generation models do not have any common features with their successor (except for the 500 cc Rotax engine), the technical specifications have changed, and a new wishbone front suspension has been built into the updated model.

Specifications table

When the Tundra it 600 ace model received a new design and a modern REV-XU aluminum frame, BRP specialists decided to abandon the new “multi-link”, choosing the old type of suspension, which is built only on telescopic shock absorbers.

The new Tundra Skido 600 model has a throttle trigger, which can be changed on the steering wheel without the use of a professional tool. But you need to be more careful with him.

Transmission

This part of the device has the following characteristics:

• reverse;
• low gear;
• hydraulic brake system.

The lightweight, utilitarian type of vehicle has good maneuverability and can handle any forest with loose snow.

Dimensions and weight

Dimensions:

• length – 3236 mm;
• width – 1076 mm;
• distance between skis – 985 mm
• height – 1330 mm;

Track dimensions:

• lug height – 31.8 mm;
• length – 3960 mm;
• width – 508 mm.

Dry weight 296 kg. Maximum number of places – 2.

Suspension

The Tundra 600 is equipped with a special wishbone suspension, used on most modern models. This option has better handling. The lever suspension ensures soft movement; its design qualities lead to the fact that it catches a variety of objects: stumps and branches, therefore, it is inferior to the light telescopic one.

The rear suspension of the SC-5U is equipped with an articulated mechanism (“breaking heel”), which facilitates reversing. But in deep snow, the “survival” of the Tundra 600 with such a narrow track and low-power engine depends 80% on the experience of the pilot, so few people will be able to sit down and calmly drive up a steep hill in loose snow.

2015 Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme Snowmobile Review

An honest, utilitarian snowmobile from Ski-Doo

How can I use my 2015 Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme snowmobile? Transport various cargo and loot on it. This orange and black snowmobile can work like a bee, it can serve you instead of a pickup truck, it can drive in deep snow and on the plain, and you can comfortably travel long distances. The machine has enough potential to be used for various purposes.

Snowmobile Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme 2015

When you look at the Tundra, you see a huge 154-inch sled with a 16-inch wide track and high lugs. It performs great in deep snow. Of course, you shouldn’t try to catch up with the Ski-Doo XM Summit 600 on it, but go into the forest for firewood, repair a hunting lodge, or just go for a ride, please.

The Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme snowmobile has well-thought-out ergonomics—the handlebars can be adjusted in height, making it equally comfortable for you to ride both standing and sitting. There are holes in the footrests to prevent snow from accumulating; they themselves, like the seat, are spacious. The 110-horsepower E-Tec 600 HO engine pairs nicely with the REV-XU's utilitarian chassis, and the tunnel will accommodate a variety of tools, bags, video equipment, or whatever else you might need. There are also quite a lot of mounting holes on the tunnel, so you can also tie a load. The front telescopic suspension can withstand the load and behaves well on the highway.

Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme is the world's snowmobile. All snowmobiles can be used in different countries, as long as there is snow. The Tundra is designed to be the workhorse, minivan, truck, bus for those who see summer a few weeks a year. The name of the snowmobile is more than appropriate.

What is tundra? Let's turn to Wikipedia.

Tundra is a type of biome where plant growth is affected by low temperatures and short warm seasons. The term "tundra" is borrowed from the Russian language and means "mountainous terrain." There are three types of tundra: Arctic, mountain and Antarctic. In the tundra, vegetation consists of dwarf shrubs, grass, moss and lichen. Single trees grow in some areas.

The Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme is designed just for these latitudes. Not all terrain is covered in the deep, soft snow where the Ski-Doo XM Summit reigns supreme.

The Tundra is a utility sled that leaves a larger footprint with a 16-inch wide, 154-inch long PowderMax track. Combine that width and length with 2.25-inch (57.15mm) lug height, and the Tundra can handle any moderate snow depth. The caterpillar was created specifically for this snowmobile.

At the front there is a telescopic suspension known as Lynx Telescopic Strut (LTS) with Motion Control shock absorbers. Suspension travel is 152.4 mm.

The rear suspension of the SC-5U allows for reversing or can be locked. HPG gas shock absorbers perfectly absorb shocks and allow the suspension to “walk” 355.6 mm.

You'd think this utilitarian sled would be heavy, but it's not. It is relatively light, with a dry weight of 224.5 kg. This weight is handled well by the wide, long track without profiled cutouts, the narrow-nosed Pilot DS skis, and the SC-5U rear suspension. The rear suspension was designed specifically for the big track, and the Tundra Xtreme will surprise you with its unique deep snow capability.

Despite its size, this utilitarian snowmobile is easy to operate. The fairly narrow ski spacing, aluminum handlebars with J-shaped handles and center grip allow the rider to make turns both sitting and standing. In fact, with a little practice, this machine can even climb mountain slopes.

The snowmobile is very comfortable for travel. Yes, the Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme's closely spaced skis will keep you from turning at high speed, but it's not a crossover either. After all, you can load a whole store into it, and there will be enough food for you for the longest excursion.

We have a place in our hearts for the Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme, a well-built, comfortable, useful, off-road utility sled.

So what can you use the 2015 Ski-Doo Tundra Xtreme for? Transport various cargo and loot on it.

Fuel system

The model is equipped with a 2-stroke gasoline engine with EFI distributed fuel injection and air cooling. The power unit can withstand heavy loads, is lightweight and economical due to low fuel consumption. Air cooling allows you to use the snowmobile on ice, because there is no radiator system with cooling liquid in the device. Two types of carburetor systems accurately dose the mixture, and cooling is provided by counter flow and a fan built into the Ski Doo Tundra device.

By means of an electric starter, the engine starts even at very low temperatures. The power plant has plenty of torque, allowing the Ski Doo Tundra 600 to tackle the toughest terrain.

System characteristics:

• volume – 597 cc;
• power – 90 hp;
• number of cylinders – 2.

The fuel tank capacity is 42 liters, which allows you to travel more than 200 km without refueling, and the oil tank capacity is 2.5 liters.

Tundra 300 F Ski Doo Equipment

Tundra 300 F Ski Doo Equipment

The Tundra 300 F snowmobile is equipped with two front lights and a large luggage compartment, and there is also space for cargo under the seat of the snowmobile. This snow all-terrain vehicle has impressive cross-country ability thanks to a special suspension design with shock absorbers, an engine and a fairly wide track measuring 406x3456 mm. Thanks to excellent driving performance and branded skis from the Pilot company, it easily overcomes snow drifts and impenetrable forest thickets. It can be used to perform various tasks as a utilitarian all-terrain vehicle, as well as as a recreational vehicle. The high glass of the snowmobile protects the driver well from snow getting into the face and gusts of headwind. Reversing the machine is easily done by pressing the appropriate button.

Snowmobile operating rules and safety precautions

The Tundra 600 can be operated by persons over 16 years of age and weighing less than 111 kg. Children under this age can ride as passengers.

Safety regulations:

1. Always follow the instructor's recommendations and operating instructions.
2. When riding, be sure to use protective equipment: a helmet, gloves, comfortable protective (seasonally appropriate) shoes from moisture, a protective type of suit (it is better not to ride in short shorts, shirts, or T-shirts with short sleeves).
3. One of the main safety elements is the correct seating position: the driver must sit (not stand or lie down), firmly holding the steering wheel with both hands, and his feet must rest on the footpegs. The passenger should sit holding the handrails, not the driver. The legs are located on the footrests.

Do not operate the machine without wearing a protective helmet of the correct size. It is recommended to use a product that protects the eyes (mask or special glasses).

How to properly drive a snowmobile:

1. The right hand with the thumb is the gas lever.
2. The left hand with all fingers except the thumb is the brake lever.
3. Right hand – shifting the gearbox. Sequential HRL shifting (high gear, reverse and low gear) during a full stop.

To turn on the engine, insert the ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position, then press the brake lever and turn to the right, hold until the engine starts for 5 seconds - no more. Before the vehicle starts moving, you need to make sure that the path is clear of obstacles (foreign people, vehicles, other motor vehicles, etc.).

Control Rule 2:

1. Moving from a standstill: you need to engage gear (H), release the brake lever, smoothly and slowly press the gas lever until the desired speed is reached. The lower the speed, the more time it takes to make a decision before interference occurs.
2. Shifting gear: stop, release the gas and brake levers, then move the lever to a suitable position. The transmission indicator light (HRL) should light up on the instrument panel.
3. Stopping: Release the throttle control (relieve the gas), then slowly press the brake lever. Use the brake only when necessary, when there is a strong slope or obstacle; in other cases, simply release the gas. It is better to stop the device on dense snow cover. If the snow is soft, then you need to find a well-worn road.

When turning and turning, reduce your speed and turn as wide a radius as possible. When maneuvering on dense surface (crust, snow rolled by equipment), shift the center of gravity of the body forward to ensure good adhesion of the ski to the snow, reduce the speed to the lowest value. On soft snow, tilt the body in the direction of the turn. If the car gets stuck in the snow, wait for the towing equipment.

When towing tracks, reduce engine speed until the tracks regain traction with the snow cover. An increase in speed in this circumstance can cause additional slipping and “burrowing” of the device.

Procedure in case of dangerous situations:

• If the machine tilts to the side when moving, then shift your body weight in the direction opposite to the tilt to balance the moving snowmobile. It is forbidden to restore balance using your legs, because this leads to dangerous injuries.
• If you are buried in a snowdrift, then clear the snow from the space under the toe of the snowmobile and place the device in a horizontal position, then slowly continue driving or call a towing service.
• If the vehicle gets into a swamp under the snow, then you need to add gas without stopping. You can stop only after half a kilometer.
• Maneuverability may be affected, so planning for turning and stopping is recommended.

If the Tundra 600 ace stops working partially (controls have failed), you need to stop and call a tow.

During operation, it is recommended to regularly carry out diagnostics, changing the oil and parts if necessary.

Owner reviews

“The classic BRP Ski-Doo Tundra 600 is an inexpensive and playful car. I like that the snowmobile is suitable for recreation and work. At the same time, it consumes very little fuel. I previously rode Taiga. With poor parameters, the consumption was almost the same. I like everything about the BRP Ski-Doo Tundra 600: original design, cross-country ability, reliable suspension, good traction and high speed. The snowmobile is very durable and soft, regardless of the conditions, and so far it suits me (I’ve been riding it for 4 years).”

“I've been riding a Tundra 600 snowmobile for almost five years. Over the entire period I have completed many difficult trips across the tundra, and everywhere it was excellent. The size of the device is not the smallest, but thanks to its high-quality design and special methods of walking around while driving, it was possible to pass in different places. Protection of two elements: the bottom and the bumper helped to avoid damage. The elasticity and high efficiency of the power unit is a separate issue. In this regard, the car is almost incomparable to anything else. The model drives absolutely everywhere (perhaps it was also supported by the presence of a lower gear). I experienced negative emotions only in cold weather: the sound from the rollers, vibrations and crackling in the suspension annoyed me a little.”

“The BRP Ski-Doo Tundra 600 is a reliable machine. The average trip duration was 160 km. The build quality and parts of the snowmobile are good. Nothing rattles, nothing knocks. From the very beginning of using the technique, I noticed the only problem - oil was leaking slightly down the tank plug. I don’t even see any point in comparing it with Yamaha (the company doesn’t have the same models). The main competitor is Lynx Yeti, but from the same manufacturer. For the forest, the Ski-Doo Tundra WT 600 is the right option.”

“Tundra 600 ski doo ace is a hunter’s dream. In just over two years I drove about 3.5 thousand km on it. Of course there were breakdowns. After a thousand kilometers, the gearbox began to break down and knock. I had to take it to a repair shop. At the end of the second year of operation, it was necessary to replace the fuse for the fan unit along with the headlight. Otherwise, the Tundra 600 is a good device. It’s always easy to drive (well suited for trails, forests and loose snow). At the same time, efficiency and low noise levels are maintained regardless of the speed and conditions of use. BRP Ski-Doo Tundra 600 is better than many domestic models. The main negative quality is the high cost.”
