Understanding Snowmobile Types

For those looking for thrilling, snowy adventures, riding a snowmobile can be the perfect activity. Depending on what kind of adventure you’re looking for, it's important to know the different types of snowmobiles available so you select the right one for your riding preferences. Below, we've listed some of the most common snowmobile types. If you have any questions about any specific models, be sure to visit or contact our dealership. J&B Cycle & Marine is proud to be your local snowmobile dealer in Timmins, ON.

Trail Snowmobiles

Starting with the most common snowmobile, we have trail snowmobiles. As the name suggests, these beginner-friendly models are easy to handle and designed for groomed trails. Not only are they ideal for first-time riders, but they are also typically the least expensive.

Mountain

Once you have plenty of snowmobiling experience and want to test your skills on the path less traveled, mountain snowmobiles are the way to go. These beasts have some of the best traction to handle fresh powder and have enough horsepower to scale the slopes. 

Touring

If you're looking for a snowmobile that can handle all-day adventures and keep you comfortable, touring sleds are what you need. They may not be the fastest nor have the best suspension system, but they offer some of the best technological features available on snowmobiles to keep you riding mile after mile.

Crossover

If you want to keep your options open, the versatility of crossover snowmobiles may suit you the best. Crossover sleds aren't as specialized as the types mentioned above, but they take features from each and combine them so you have flexibility regardless of your situation.
