Ski doo Renegade vs MXZ: Main differences

Snowmobile riders want to know more and more about snowmobiles and I love to tell them more and more about snowmobiles.

Hey there! I am Arshian, your guide. Today I will compare two models of a famous snowmobile brand, ski-doo. 

SKI-DOO RENEGADE VS MXZ

As you want to know the difference, I am providing this according to your thrust. 

So let’s start to finish your thrust.

1-Riding style

Ski-doo renegade:

The renegade model is designed for both off-trail and on-trail riding. This snowmobile is equipped with a long track and a more versatile suspension system, making it suitable for both groomed trails as well as for deep powder riding. This model of ski doo has a bit more ground clearance and a more balanced approach between off-trail and on-trail performance.

Ski-doo MXZ:

This snowmobile is designed especially for on-trail riding. This snowmobile is the best choice for aggressive riders and for those who prefer groomed trails. These snowmobiles have shorter track and spotier suspensions which greatly helps the rider to take smooth and quick turns on smooth trails.

2-Suspensions and chassis

Ski-doo renegade:

The Renegade model has long suspensions, which greatly help you absorb more bumps and can give a long smooth ride. This suspension system allows your snowmobile to tackle varying snow conditions and rough terrain. 

Ski-doo MXZ:

Ski-doo MXZ generally comes with short tracks and so does not cover as much distance as Renegade can. But this vehicle can give you more control on groomed trails. The main target of this snowmobile is to give you the best control so this snowmobile can’t absorb as many bumps as a renegade can.

3-Track length

Ski-doo renegade:

As I have described earlier, the renegade comes with a longer track. These longer tracks greatly enhance the traction on deep snow making it the best choice for off-trail riders. Its track length is almost 137 inches to 154 inches.

Ski-doo MXZ:

As you already know from reading above, the track length of the ski-doo MX-Z is smaller. But its maneuverability is increased which can help you to take sharp turns on groomed trails. Typically its track length ranges from 120 to 129 inches.

4-Engine options

Ski-doo renegade:

Both MXZ and Renegade series offer a wide range of engines, including 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. The type of engine you choose is very important because it decides how much output your engine can give and how fuel-efficient your snowmobile is.

5-Riding position

Ski-doo renegade:

The Renegade series can give you a more comfortable ride. Its handlebars are raised,  which allows a more upright posture. This kind of posture is very relaxing for long rides and while traveling in varying snow conditions.

Ski-doo MXZ :

The MXZ model can give you an aggressive riding position. Its handlebars are generally lower, promoting aerodynamics that are ideal for quick maneuverability on groomed trails.

6-Wind protection 

Ski-doo renegade:

Due to a more upright posture, renegades can protect you better from the wind. This is greatly appreciable during long-riding and cold weather conditions.

Ski-doo MXZ

MXZ is designed to give you more maneuverability. So it may protect you less from the wind. The main focus of this snowmobile is on maneuverability. 

7-Skis 

Ski-doo renegade:

Renegade models are often equipped with wider skis that often give you better flotation on deeper snow. These wider skis are very beneficial on off-trail riding and in varying snow conditions.

Ski-doo MXZ:

This series often comes with narrow skis. These narrow skis greatly help you to take sharp turns and give you more control over the snowmobile. 

8-Customization

For both models, you can get a variety of customization. You may have the option to install more light cargo bags and whatever you want.

9-Terrain preference

Ski-doo renegade:

The Renegade series is designed for both off-trail and on-trail riding. So you can drive it wherever you want to ride it. Varying snow conditions can not affect your ride.

Ski-doo MXZ:

As you know, the main focus while manufacturing this model is on handling. So this model is only for riding on groomed trails.

10-Weight distribution

Ski-doo renegade:

Renegade models have a more balanced weight distribution between the rear and front. This may contribute to giving you more stability while moving in varying snow conditions.

Ski-doo MXZ:

MXZ have slightly more weight distribution in front, enhancing their ability to carve through turns with agility on groomed trails.

11-Seating Capacity and Comfort

Ski-doo renegade:

Most renegade models have two seats. So if you buy this model you can enjoy the ride with your friend. Comfort is one of the main focuses of this snowmobile. You can have a very enjoyable and comfortable ride with your friend if you buy this model.

Ski-doo MXZ:

This snowmobile is equipped with a single seat. You can’t carry anyone with you. This may be due to the reason that the main focus while manufacturing this snowmobile is to give you more control over the snowmobile.

12-Adventure and exploring the world 

Ski-doo renegade:

Ski-doo Renegade is the best choice if you want to go on an adventure. Because this model is for long rides. And can handle varying snow conditions. So this model can give you a very comfortable ride.

Ski-doo MXZ:

This model is not for long rides. This model works well on groomed trails. So I think this model is not best for an adventure.

13-Price

The most important consideration for everyone before buying anything is its price.

The price of both models can vary from one region to another. You can have a Ski-doo renegade for almost $17,000.

And the price of ski doo MXZ is almost $16,000.

Final thoughts:

Whatever the model you choose both are best to enjoy nature. If you want to know about my choice then I would buy ski doo renegade instead of ski doo MXZ. Because I want to go for long and comfortable rides with my friend.

Must comment to me about your choice. See you in the next article.
