Commander model also now available in
North America
VALCOURT, QC, Feb. 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ - Lynx, iconic brand
of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO), lifts the sheets on its
2026 snowmobiles, highlighting some major updates and its continued
commitment to growing the brand's presence worldwide. Europe's most sought-after model, the
Commander, has been completely reworked for 2026 with the Radien²
platform underpinning it and will now be available in North America. The Shredder gets significant
updates for nearly every chassis component to raise the game in
deep snow riding while the rest of the line benefits from important
upgrades and feature expansion plus a focus on entry-level with the
Core Package.
"With the 2026 Lynx models, you'll see evidence of our
dedication to bringing both new, innovative ideas and our constant
improvement strategy - which has led to market leadership in
Scandinavia, and is now taking hold in North America," stated Hannu Härkönen, Global
Product Manager, Lynx Snowmobiles. "From big things like
redesigning Commander and Shredder models to smaller ones that
solve irritants like the flippable snow flap, we make sure to bring
the best performance in all aspects to the market."
The Commander RE gets the most up-to-date Radien² chassis
with LED lighting, cutting edge styling and the 10.25-inch
Touchscreen Display that includes Group Ride functionality in
North America without a cell phone
or network connection. More new components to boost the 'go
anywhere performance' include a 4-piston brake system, new arched
A-Arms, heated seat and flippable snow flap that stays out of the
way when reversing. The leading crossover sled in Europe is ready to show North Americans what
they've been missing.
Shredder models enter 2026 with a multitude of changes targeting
even more deep snow capability with the renowned 'Built Tough' Lynx
DNA. The chassis gets a shorter tapered tunnel, shorter heat
exchangers and elevated, reshaped running boards that all add up to
less weight. The reworked PPS³-DS rear suspension uses a new rail
profile and new geometry for improved sidehilling characteristics,
while lighter and narrower Blade DSS skis, new LFS-DS front
suspension and Twin Link steering give riders more control in all
situations. Even with all these significant changes, riders can
still count on premium features like the best Kashima Coated KYB
shocks packages to be offered on Lynx Shredder RE and DS
models.
Toughness, durability and performance are at the core of every
Lynx snowmobile. The Core package is what Lynx delivers from the
start - it includes high-quality KYB shocks, coil over springs that
offer long life and less weight, backup rewind starters and
reliable fuel efficient Rotax engines. The performance features
like legendary suspension designs and ergonomics for active riding
are all there too, so calling this 'standard' just doesn't fit. For
2026, this package is now available on all Lynx models with the
same Sisu spirit, at an affordable price.
The connected experience jumps another level as any model
equipped with the 10.25-inch Touchscreen Display adds Group Ride
functionality in North America.
This allows riders to track their friends without a cell phone or a
network connection in addition to seeing embedded topographical
maps and snowmobile trails,* and using breadcrumb tracking to find
their way home. Using the BRP GO! app takes it another step with an
even richer experience and more functionality, such as turn-by-turn
navigation.
More key changes for the 2026 Lynx lineup include the Brutal RE
moving to the Radien² platform with powerful LED lights, new
aggressive deep snow style running boards giving riders more foot
traction and a 4-piston brake system for extra stopping power. The
Rave RE adds a new LFS-R front suspension giving more capacity and
stability that adds confidence. It also comes with a black color
option and the added choice of the Rotax 850 E-TEC Turbo R with its
180 horsepower. Finally, the Xterrain adds choices with the
availability of a Limited package offering more comfort, the
10.25-inch Touchscreen Display, a passenger kit, and Rotax 600R
E-TEC and 900 ACE Turbo engine options.
