First and foremost, the RX-1 is a true snowmobile. It rides like a high performance sled. It handles like a high performance sled. The clutches deliver power like a snowmobile drive train. But it screams like a high revving, high powered super sport motorcycle.

This sled has an incredibly smooth, yet impressively powerful engine that just happens to be a four-stroke. The sled drives like a two-stroke on steroids. This 998cc power plant has attitude from the moment you twist the key and fire it up all the way up to top speed 125+ wherever that may be! In a quarter mile consistently in triple digits very, very quickly. Cruising at 80-plus mph push the butterfly carbs to wide open and feel the sled charge ahead. There is a herd of power under the narrow razor nosed hood.
