We
knew
it
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
one
of
the
manufacturers
brought
to
market
a
direct-injected,
two-stroke
sled.
We
also
placed
our
bets
on
BRP
being
the
first.
With
its
MX
Z
TNT
600
H.O.
E-TEC,
we’re
pleased
to
award
Ski-Doo
our
2009
Snowmobile
of
the
Year
honor.
When
the
600
H.O.
E-TEC
was
released
late
last
season,
it
introduced
the
best
combination
for
a
modern
snowmobile:
light
weight;
cleaner
emissions;
outstanding
fuel
and
oil
economy;
and
excellent
power
delivery.
Emissions
from
the
600
H.O.
E-TEC
engine
are
some
of
the
cleanest
of
any
snowmobile.
The
E-TEC
engine
uses
less
fuel
at
a
time
when
gas
consumption
is
more
than
a
concern,
but
a
paradigm
shift
toward
conservation.
Its
emissions
are
among
the
lowest
from
any
snowmobile,
cleaner
than
many
four-stroke
snowmobile
engines
while
remaining
lighter.
It’s
a
high-tech,
technological
marvel
with
electronics
that
are
the
most
sophisticated
yet
of
any
snowmobile.
Engine
response
is
immediate
due
to
the
precise
inputs
from
the
EFI
system
that
makes
hundreds
of
calculations
each
second
of
run
time.
It
delivers
only
the
amount
of
fuel
and
oil
required,
achieving
the
perfect
mix
for
ideal
run
quality.
Carrying
spare
spark
plugs
is
no
longer
a
concern.
The
TNT
package
is
the
lightest
of
the
MX
Z
line,
weighing
a
claimed
415
pounds,
which
is
more
than
50
pounds
lighter
than
competitive
machines
in
the
same
class.
The
MX
Z
TNT
600
H.O.
E-TEC
is
built
on
the
REV-XP
chassis,
the
same
foundation
that
earned
our
Snowmobile
of
the
Year
award
a
year
ago.
The
REV-XP,
with
its
light
weight
and
commanding
ergonomics,
puts
riders
in
better
control.
Last
year
we
wrote
that
Ski-Doo
was
representing
the
new
era
of
performance
snowmobiles
witOur
award
goes
to
the
machine
that
best
follows
our
long-standing
criteria:
The
Snowmobile
of
the
Year
is
based
on
innovative,
trendsetting
representations
of
the
future
and
a
unique
and
positive
impact
on
the
sport.
For
2009,
the
machine
that
best
exemplifies
those
qualities
is
the
Ski-Doo
MX
Z
TNT
600
H.O.
E-TEC.
h
its
lightweight
chassis,
and
now
the
company
landed
a
one-two
punch
with
its
advanced
engine
technology.
