Both models are built on the lightweight AXYS platform, which enhances rider balance and control. The 600 Pro RMK is powered by a 599cc 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled Cleanfire engine, delivering a strong power-to-weight ratio, ideal for navigating challenging terrains. In contrast, the 800 Pro RMK is equipped with a more robust 795cc 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled Cleanfire H.O. engine, offering higher torque and horsepower for demanding conditions.

Both models feature the QuickDrive Low Inertia Drive System, which reduces rotational inertia by 21 percent, allowing for quicker acceleration and enhanced responsiveness. The RMK React Suspension provides a 36-38 inch adjustable ski stance, optimizing stability and control. The 600 Pro RMK and 800 Pro RMK are equipped with Gripper skis, designed to improve flotation and steering precision. Their lightweight, rigid chassis is complemented by a vertical steering post for more intuitive handling.

The snowmobiles come with a 15-inch wide Series 6 track with a 2.6-inch lug, maximizing traction in deep snow. The rider-centric design includes a narrow seat and tapered tunnel, allowing for greater freedom of movement. Both models feature a digital gauge with a customizable display for vital stats and performance metrics. The 600 Pro RMK and 800 Pro RMK are engineered to deliver unmatched agility and control, making them ideal choices for riders seeking exceptional backcountry performance and reliability in extreme snow conditions.
