Lynx is a Finnish snowmobile brand, manufactured and distributed by Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), which has made many unique inventions in snowmobile technology. Lynx is a part of a Canadian company BRP.[1] The first Lynx snowmobile was introduced by the Finnish company Velsa Oy in Kurikka in 1968.[2][3] The newest Lynx snowmobiles are built on Ski-Doo platform with minor differences, but they use a different rear suspension called PPS (Pauli Piippola Suspension) made for rougher conditions than a traditional Ski-Doo suspension system, which is not as tough or heavy as the PPS system.[4]
Lynx snowmobiles feature the Bombardier Recreational Products Rotax engine.[5] This engine design is also used in Ski-Doo brand snowmobiles.
The Lynx lineup features four different categories of snowmobiles which range in performance and function: Sport, Crossover, Touring, and Utility.
In 2018, Lynx introduced the Radien chassis. The Radien chassis is also based on the Ski-Doo chassis, but it is made shorter, lighter and smaller. The weight center is also improved[citation needed] on the Radien chassis.
