What's everyone wanting or hoping to see in the 2026 lynx line up?

Hopefully that they clean up the total chaos that is the model programs for the Ranger/Bondocker/Xterrain, (in Europe).
You can more or less buy the exact same machine with either of those decals...

Do we dare hope that the prices, and not only Lynx's, will adapt to the current economics? Machines are getting ridiculously expensive! Expensive to the point that used sleds are GAINING value from year to year, (or at least their owners seems to think so when composing sales ads).

...... When that Enduro comes over, I am in!
I have a 2020 Rave Enduro 600, they are sweet =)
But didn't the Rave get the RS brakes for 2025? If so the only differences are track length and side panels, or? I like the 3300 but I don't think 3500 length would be a dealbreaker for me as long as it has the better brakes.

I couldn't agree more on the pricing situation... with the way things are going the '26 rave 850 turbo will be 30k.

Yeah I bet we'll see the new front end, but we've already got the skiis so I don't think those will change. The blade skiis with the new front end will hopefully be a good match.

Im hoping for another black rave 850 turbo with the new front end.

To me the whole idea with a short track is to go partially sideways through the corners, or at least have the possibility to do so, studs would make that impossible. I got a brand new Ripsaw 38mm cheap when I changed track on my Enduro, if I had found a 32 I'd taken that instead.

Oversteering is life!! =D

I'm thinking Lynx will have a 900R full mountain sled in the new chassis.

Id like a Black Rave with 900R and able to run a 1.75 track.

But one thing I'm definatley not happy about is I snowchecked a 2025 XT 850 turbo and now they offer 2 years of warranty and 0% financing for 60 months. Also couple local dealers near me offering a Lifetime power train warranty on 24 and 25 Lynx and skidoos. There really making it hard to want to snowcheck again. But I guess the 26 could offer something so we will see.

I hope that BRP/Lynx doubles down on what the Lyxn brand is in North America. I've seen people asking for softer seats, smart shock options, ice rippers/ripsaws on Xterrains, etc. I'm not a Lynx gatekeeper, but that stuff is available on the Skidoo side on dozens of different sleds. It's supposed to be a niche brand with a very narrow focus in North America, not "the top of the line one" that fariweather groomed trail riders show off at the shack.

Congratulations on the order! What model and spec did you choose?

I am being a negative Nancy this year. Not terribly impressed with the lineup. And not liking the forcing of specific features on a sled, especially when actually desirable ones are not available. All to the tune of over $20k. I will continue to work on my current sled and update it along the way. Another couple of years I'll break down and get a fresh model. But the “old” iron is staying in the garage for another season.

I've wanted a black turbo ever since my 22 rave. Then they changed to the Raiden 2 in 24, so I ordered one of those... and I always said if they do a black rave with the 850 turbo, I'd pull the trigger... didn't want to order one this year because I absolutely love my 24, but im a man of my word and when my dealer text me saying he was ordering the black turbo for himself I had to as well! I also got over 2200 miles on my 24 this year (very thankful) I absolutely love the looks of this black 26. So if I can find the same love for the 26, I feel I'll have it for a few years.
