These three latest snowmobile mountain models will definitely roar into your dreams of conquering snow-capped mountains. Read on to know more.

Engineered for mountain tournaments and courses, the 2009 Arctic Cat M8 EFI 153 LE flaunts a beautiful external designs. Aside from the aesthetic value, you have a new rear suspension that is eight pounds lighter than the preceding models. Simply put, a lightweight snowmobile really gives you a boost in the race.

In addition, the 2009 Arctic Cat M8 EFI 153 LE also features an adjustable ski stance, running boards and removable side panels that make cruising through the snowy mountains a really great experience. However, this ride shouts a large amount. You’re going to need to cash out more than $10,000 to get your hands on this one.

Another great snowmobile model for 2009 is the new 2009 Yamaha FX Nytro MTX. Engineered for mountain sports dominance, this machine offers great powerful ride without compromising your comfort. Created for mountain events, this snowmobile simply rocks.

The new 2009 Yamaha FX Nytro MTX parades a 4-stroke engine coupled with three cylinders, and a fuel injections system to ensure optimum mountain performance. Also, you get other cool features such as the electric start button and the standard heated hand grips. Exterior design is also well thought. Price is not so friendly, as this model carries an $11,000 price tag.

The 2009 Polaris RMK 800 Dragon can endure the rugged and chilling outdoors of snowy mountains. That alone should catapult this particular model to any top 10 mountain snowmobile list for 2009. Other than that, the 2009 Polaris RMK 800 Dragon also parades adjustable ski stance and standard heating grips mechanism. But this model isnot perfect as it does possess some significant flaws in its build.

For starters, this model uses a starter pull to kick the engine. While thismay be the norm for most models, an electric start would have made it better. There is also a main difference in the engine layout. Other models run on systems that uses 3-4 cylinders and 4 strokes, the 2009 Polaris RMK 800 Dragon only utilizes a 2 stroke engine with 2 cylinders. At $11,000, this model is still worth buying.
