Snowmobile BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC technical specifications, engine, owner reviews, price, video

The BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC immediately stands out among other utility snowmobiles. The model from the Canadian brand is built on the REV-XU platform and has an aggressive design. Instead of classic racks with a telescopic system, the equipment is equipped with A-shaped arms, complemented by a lateral stability stabilization system. Coupled with adjustable front shock absorbers (adjustment height – 210 mm), this technology ensures smooth and easy movement. Another feature is the rear shock absorbers with body height adjustment (range – 340 mm). Thanks to this, the device is suitable for forest roads with loose and deep snow and for compacted trails.

To drive fast and ensure high traction, the model has the following elements:

• powerful Rotax E-TEC engine;
• ski extensions;
• huge tracks with a width of 500 mm;
• high lugs;
• steering wheel adjustment;
• driver's handrail.

The curved handlebar, complemented by a mountain strap, and the high position of the instrument panel make the Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC equally comfortable to use in a standing position during aggressive movement and in a standard sitting position. This placement provides easy control of the operating parameters of the equipment.

The weight of the structure is distributed along the length of the snowmobile. Together with a long caterpillar, this feature allows you to overcome uneven terrain and climb steep slopes without slipping. High lugs ensure easy movement on any off-road terrain, including ice. In terms of capabilities, the Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC can be compared with a good mountain all-terrain vehicle. Low gear ratios make it easy to transport heavy loads in harsh conditions.

The one-piece chassis and angled tunnel allow for a narrower seat to maintain a natural riding position. Heated steering wheel grips and seats make long trips more comfortable. The base seat has a large compartment for transporting things. An additional passenger seat is available as an accessory.

The BRP Links Commander 800 has new skis with the Blade XC blade, which are characterized by excellent handling with minimal effort. The weight of the skis is 2.2 kg less than that of standard Blade skis. The snowmobile display is informative and clear. The windshield has been preserved in its original form.

Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is a relatively new model, but it already has several interesting modifications. The modifications to the snowmobile were carried out by Finnish specialists from the BRP division. Initially, the Lynx Commander 800 Xtrim R E-TEC version was presented, differing from the basic version with a sporty front suspension and an upgraded engine, which made the device faster.

A year later, the Lynx Xtrim Commander 800 Touratech R E-TEC premiered - a previous modification with bright tuning from the German company Touratech. The result is a snowmobile with reliable suspension, sporty energy consumption and maximum comfort. Another innovation is the electrically adjustable rear suspension, which can be adjusted directly from the steering wheel. The front suspension remains the same.

Basic equipment of the snowmobile:

• steel steering wheel with handles and driver's handrail;
• one-piece windshield;
• electric starter;
• towbar;
• rearview mirror;
• heated handles;
• digital multifunctional information center.

The BRP Links Commander 800 is the standard in the utilitarian snowmobile segment, which is equally good for touring trips and hard everyday work.

Engine

The BRP Links Commander 800 snowmobile is equipped with the latest Rotax 800R E-TEC engine with a 3-D RAVE system. The engine uses a mixed cooling system, including a radiator with an electric fan and liquid-type cooling, thereby maintaining optimal temperature and stable operation. The engine starts instantly by simply pressing a button (electric starter).

The Rotax 800R E-TEC has little in common with classic 2-stroke units. The direct injection system controls mixture formation. Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at the moment the intake and exhaust ports are closed, which ensures stable operation and efficiency. The motor runs smoothly and with minimal noise, which is reminiscent of 4-stroke models. A large reserve of power allows you to pull a snowmobile with a full load.

Other features of the Rotax 800R E-TEC unit include:

• low fuel consumption (about 12.3 l/100 km at a constant speed on a prepared road);
• start from the first revolution;
• low level of emissions of harmful substances;
• instant response of the throttle trigger;
• large power reserve - up to 325 km (on a prepared road);
• low oil consumption;
• smooth idle;
• automatic conservation;
• minimal amount of odor and smoke;
• automatic run-in.

Rotax 800R E-TEC Engine Features:

• working volume – 799.5 cc;
• rated power - 164 hp;
• number of cylinders – 2;
• cylinder diameter – 82 mm;
• fuel tank capacity – 40 l;
• Oil tank capacity – 2.9 l.

Snowmobile BRP 800

69 YETI ARMY 800E-TEC is a snowmobile that is designed for people who move only forward. The equipment simply does not tolerate defeat, has incredible cross-country ability and can pass through the most difficult areas. A powerful engine along with a modern design and a proper shock-absorbing system is attracting more and more attention. There can be no compromises when it comes to a 164 horsepower sled. Only the most difficult landscapes and low temperatures are ideal conditions for operating the snowmobile in question. The build quality of the snowmobile is at the highest level, all the main components and parts are created in such a way that they do not fail at a crucial moment, thereby leaving the driver alone with nature. Let's look at the technical characteristics of the "predator".

Owner reviews

• Sergey, Yekaterinburg: BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is a very special device. When you sit on it, you immediately want to press the gas to the fullest and rush forward. For all its incredible power, the snowmobile is very economical and comfortable. I measured the flow rate several times. At 126 km it was approximately 26 liters, which is a little more than 20.5 liters per 100 km. The measurements were taken while driving on normal snow. In terms of dynamics and speed, the BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC is a rocket with easy controls. At the same time, the snowmobile is also incredibly reliable. In 2 years of use there were no breakdowns at all.
• Taiga beast: First impressions of using the BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC are extremely positive. All the parts fit together perfectly, nothing makes noise anywhere, and you feel as comfortable as possible in the seat. The engine starts with one click, the sound is even. During the warm-up process, information appears on the display; when the message goes out, you can drive. Acceleration is like a sports snowmobile. The difference with other models is huge. In the first year of operation I drove a little more than 1000 km. I used a snowmobile with a standard track without studs and was not disappointed. The device went everywhere without any effort. It’s too early to talk about reliability, but so far I haven’t noticed any disadvantages.
• Kent 111: Used to drive a Viking. The Commander is incredibly good in comparison. At first I couldn’t get used to such speed; at the start I even lifted my skis. Accelerated the snowmobile up to 160 km/h. In this case, the steering always remains normal. I didn't really like the position of the glass; it seemed a little low. Snezhik is very balanced and maneuverable. The 44th hook on the track helps a lot (as on mountain models). Thanks to this, the device goes everywhere. The Commander is a mixture of sports and mountain utility. Snezhik will appeal to anyone who is at least somewhat familiar with this type of technology, but the price tag for it is very high. And this is the only drawback of the Commander.
• User without nickname: Traveled only 250 km on the BRP Lynx Commander 800 R E-TEC. It’s too early to draw any serious conclusions, so I’ll share my general impressions. I almost always rode the snowflake together with a friend. We climbed everywhere, drove through the steppes and through the forest. The commander walks calmly along any road. I got up only once, it happened on virgin soil while moving uphill. I had to trample the caterpillar and go back. In the end, we left and drove on. Consumption is around 20 liters per hundred, I personally am satisfied with this figure. The speed characteristics are beyond praise, as is the build quality.
