In the ever-advancing world of snowmobiles, the quest for machines that offer high performance, versatility, and ultimate comfort is never-ending. The 2023 Ski Doo Snowmobile Crossover Series Backcountry X RS seems to have carved out a niche for itself in this pursuit.
From the highly reliable Rotax 850 E-TEC engine, boasting a horse power of 165, to the robust REV Gen4 frame, this machine is designed to power through thick and thin. The liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine with eRAVE significantly boosts its performance, making it ideal for those extra challenging trails.
The convenience of both an electric and E-TEC SHOT starter is a thoughtful addition, catering to the needs of riders who appreciate flexibility. Indeed, the seating is also trail performance-based, ensuring the rider's comfort throughout the ride.
One of the most noticeable aspects of the 2023 Backcountry X RS is the generous 7.2" wide digital display and an even larger 7.8" wide LCD color display. This helps the rider to stay informed, keep track of the trip, and monitor the conditions. It is vital to note that a windshield is optional, so riders have a choice to either enjoy the rush of the cold wind or stay protected and warm.
Speaking of warmth, the standard heated throttle lever grips signify just how carefully the manufacturers have catered to the needs and comforts of the riders. The premium Brembo brake system is also in place to ensure safety, control, and a superior snowmobiling experience.
The engine and track dimensions chart a balance between power and adaptability, making it just right for both adventurous rides and regular usage. The track length and width variations vouch for its versatility. The RAS X front suspension with the KYB Pro 36 R EA shock and cMotion rear suspension with KYB Pro 40 EA shock offers balanced, comfortable rides.
With an MSRP of $15,499 and an invoice price of $13,174, the 2023 Backcountry X RS offers value for the money. Specifically, when we consider the high-grade features, reliable performance, and the brand's reputation, this machine should certainly be on the list for those considering investing in a snowmobile.
Ultimately, Ski Doo has made another stride in evolving the snowmobiling experience with the launch of this crossover series. Whether it's the daring treks on the snowy mountains or leisure rides across frozen lakes, the Ski Doo Snowmobile Crossover Series Backcountry X RS 2023 promises a machine that would make each ride more thrilling and worthwhile.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
