Dino’s Tinker Shed, S2-Ep10.I test the 2018 Ski Doo Ace 900 performance

In this episode, I test the performance of the Ski Doo 900 ACE engine in a 2018 Renegade Enduro. The 900 ACE engine was introduced in 2013 with very little media coverage as it was overshadowed by the partnership that Yamaha and Arctic Cat formed that same year and that is too bad. The small three cylinder, four stroke mill producing 90bph is a great engine for those who seek the type of features this engine provides.
The most notable features are its low fuel consumption and its quite operation, the engine is so quite in fact that many new owners myself included thought there were things wrong with the machine because all the sudden we can hear the track and drive belt over the engine, noises we never new existed in past machines I had owned.
Now even though BRP never marketed the 900 as a performance engine, at least until it was turbo charged in 2019, the most common question I still get it “Is it fast enough and how fast is it?”. In this video I will try to demonstrate how the performance of the 900 is delivered and give you my thoughts on if the sled is fast enough for the average rider.
If you find the 90 hp my sled has is not enough, Ski Doo now has four available variants: the 95 hp normally aspirated model and three turbo models, a 130hp, a 150hp and a 180hp variants so finding a smooth quiet and fast sled should not be a problem for any rider.
