Lynx (snowmobile)
Lynx (BRP), is a Canadian snowmobile brand in Finland, manufactured and distributed by Bombardier Recreational Products, which has made many unique inventions in snowmobile technology. The newest Lynx snowmobiles are built on Ski-Doo platform with minor differences, but they use a different rear suspension called PPS (Pauli Piippola Suspension) made for rougher conditions than a traditional Ski-Doo suspension system, which is not as tough or heavy as the PPS system.[1]
Lynx snowmobiles feature the Bombardier Recreational Products Rotax engine.[2] This engine design is also used in Ski-Doo brand snowmobiles.
The Lynx lineup features four different categories of snowmobiles which range in performance and function: Sport, Crossover, Touring, and Utility.
In 2018, Lynx introduced the Radien chassis. The Radien chassis is also based on the Ski-Doo chassis, but it's made shorter, lighter and smaller. The weight center is also improved on the Radien chassis.
