Briggs and Stratton 206
Those 600 racers are pretty serious machines. Sleds like that aren’t made for the youth of the sport. Snocross racers have put many years in before they can compete on those snowmobiles.
An adult trying to get into the world of snowmobiling without a huge budget, no sled, let alone all the equipment necessary to keep up with the machines currently being produced, would probably have appreciated an introduction when the playing field was a little more level, like in their youth.
To be competitive later in any sport, parents have to start their children young. Snowmobiling is no exception. Briggs and Stratton have been producing a 206cc stock, sealed engine for several years now that keeps the focus on the skillset behind racing, not on breaking the budget of the parents.
The Animal Engine Package from Briggs can be dropped into any of the four big OEM 120cc sleds. The 206 packs twice the horsepower of the stock 120 motors, which is perfect for the young ones transitioning from their kitty-cats, but aren’t yet ready for a larger, more powerful sled.
The stock 206 engine from Briggs and Stratton spawned a racing division that is present at a lot of ISOC racing events. For those of you with children that are starting to show an interest in the sport, this is a perfect place to start.
Briggs and Stratton are Wisconsin neighbors to
AmSnow and they’ve been producing engines of all types and sizes for work and play since 1908. More info:
