From what I gather, the engine rumored to be used in the rumored 380 twin, 2-stroke is actually a Rotax 368cc powerplant and is used in snowmobiles.

Does anyone have any specs on it showing HP, torque, RPM or etc.? Thanks, I'm just a little curious about what might be around the corner.

Let's hope this one will be a little smaller than the DS, have reverse and have about the same price tag as the other hi-po quads that are out today.

 

I sure hope they come out with this machine, because if they can get it under 400 pounds, I'll be selling my Banshee REAL quick.

I don't know why they would put reverse on a high performance quad, when their hi-po snowmobiles, which are a lot heavier, don't have them.

 

380 cc 2 stroke ROTAX. Goodbye Banshee!!! Mine in particular!

There seems to be alot of yamaha owners hanging around here.

 

Sounds great,however Bombardier will NEVER nave a 2 Stroke ATV.

 

hey guys, im the guy who first posted about this new quad and i was wondering Y 110 people viewed my post BUT no one repsonded to it, they went and started there own topics, whats up with that guys?

 

Not to upset anyone but I own a SKI-DOO with the 380 cc motor. IT is not a high per. engin. I can top 100km(60mph) on it w around 35 hp(I think). THis is on the bottom of ski-doo's line. So if they make this ATV it will either be a 4 x 4 a la POLARIS or they will modify the engine to hell to be a performance quad. Only time will tell.

 

But 60 mph on the water should translate to quite a bit faster on land I would think. 35 + horse power is not too bad on land with a two stroke...

This motor has been around for 20 years since 1980 on the Ski-doo 4500 Citations.The motor is still in there new 370 formula Ski-doo its not anything crazy I can stay with one on a 1983 Yamaha 340 Enticer across a frozen lake.I think this Rotax pushes about 36 HP and if this is the motor they will be using it's also a fan cooled motor.

 

The 380cc engine that Bombardier uses in its sleds will not be used in a quad. For one, its fan cooled. Not the hot set up for a quad. Second, it's not even close to high performance. If they do indeed build this machine, my bet is on a purpose built engine. By the way, the twin track Formula one sleds Bombardier built for oval racing had 340cc engines that produced over 100hp. That ought to make you think.
