Do the MXZ and Renegade share the same chassis?

Both are built on the REV Gen5 platform, with a 15 in. track and an adjustable 43 in. ski stance. The differences are mostly in the engines, frame length (129 or 137 in. for the MXZ, 137 in. for the Renegade), seat, riser and windshield.

Can I get a Renegade with a 2-stroke engine?

Yes, but only the Renegade Adrenaline with Enduro Package, offered with the 600RR E-TEC and 850 E-TEC engines in addition to the three 900 ACE engines. The other Renegade trims are 4-stroke.

Which one has heated grips as standard?

Both. Heated grips and throttle lever are standard on every 2027 MXZ and Renegade trim.

What rules apply to snowmobiling in Quebec?

2027 Ski-Doo MXZ vs. Renegade: Which One for the Trail?

By the Groupe Contant Team · Published October 23, 2026

Quick Answer

MXZ or Renegade: what's the difference?

Both are Ski-Doo trail sleds built on the REV Gen5 platform, with a 15 in. track and an adjustable 43 in. ski stance. The MXZ focuses on agility: Rotax 2-stroke engines (85 to 180 hp depending on the trim), a 129 or 137 in. frame, a narrow performance seat, a 90 mm riser and a low or ultra-low windshield. The Renegade is built for long distances: a 137 in. frame, Rotax 900 ACE 4-stroke engines (95, 130 or 180 hp) on most trims, a wide trail seat, a 120 mm riser and a medium windshield on several trims. Pick the MXZ for lively trail riding, the Renegade for comfort over long days.

The MXZ and the Renegade are Ski-Doo's two main trail sleds. They share the same REV Gen5 platform, the same track width (15 in.) and the same adjustable ski stance (1,090 mm / 43 in.), so they're often confused. Yet BRP describes them very differently: the MXZ as the trail-agility sled, the Renegade as the long-distance one.

This comparison relies only on BRP's 2027 model-year data for dealers. Both lines come in several trims (Sport, Adrenaline, X, X-RS), and several figures change from one trim to the next: we name the trim whenever that's the case.

Ski-Doo MXZ: BRP product data, 2027 model year
Ski-Doo Renegade: BRP product data, 2027 model year

The Main Differences

Engine — The MXZ comes only with 2-stroke engines: 600 EFI (85 hp, MXZ Sport), 600RR E-TEC (130 hp), 850 E-TEC (165 hp) and 850 E-TEC Turbo R with water injection (180 hp, MXZ X-RS with Competition Package). The Renegade is mostly offered with 4-stroke engines: 900 ACE (95 hp), 900 ACE Turbo (130 hp), 900 ACE Turbo R (180 hp) and 600 ACE (62 hp, Renegade Sport). Only the Renegade Adrenaline with Enduro Package also offers the 600RR and 850 E-TEC 2-strokes.
Frame length — The MXZ comes in 129 or 137 in. (137 in. only on the X-RS with Competition Package). The Renegade comes in 137 in. on every trim.
Riding position — The MXZ has a narrow performance trail seat and a 90 mm riser. The Renegade has a wide trail seat (except the Sport, with a narrow compact seat) and a 120 mm riser, adjustable on the X-RS and X trims.
Wind protection — Low or ultra-low windshield on the MXZ; medium windshield on the Renegade X, Adrenaline and Adrenaline with Enduro Package.
Front suspension — Up to 279 mm (11.0 in.) of travel on the MXZ (X-RS, X and Adrenaline with Blizzard Package trims), versus a maximum of 243 mm (9.6 in.) on the Renegade (X-RS and X).
Reverse — RER electronic reverse on every MXZ; electro-mechanical or mechanical reverse on most Renegade trims (RER with the E-TEC engines of the Renegade Adrenaline with Enduro Package).

Why Choose the MXZ

BRP describes the MXZ as a sled built around trail agility, powered by Rotax 2-stroke engines. The choice between a 129 and a 137 in. frame (on most trims) lets you favour a shorter, more manoeuvrable format on twisty trails, or a little more track on the ground.

The upper trims focus on suspension: rMotion X Competition on the X-RS with Competition Package, KYB PRO 40 shocks and a Smart-Shox option on the X-RS trims, and 292 mm (11.5 in.) of rear travel on every trim except the Sport. The 10.25 in. touchscreen with BRP Connect and built-in GPS is offered on the X-RS and X trims.

Why Choose the Renegade

BRP presents the Renegade as the sled "born for big miles", with Rotax 4-stroke engines. The base 900 ACE runs on regular fuel (87); the turbo versions require premium (91). The 137 in. frame is the same on every trim.

Comfort is at the heart of the line: a wide trail seat, a taller riser (120 mm) and a medium windshield on several trims. A heated trail seat and visor plug are standard on the Renegade X-RS, X and Adrenaline with Enduro Package. The latter adds ACS air rear suspension and a studded track as standard, and it's the only Renegade offered with both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines.
