2023 Lynx® Shredder DS 850 E-TEC Turbo R

The 2023 Lynx Shredder DS 850 E-TEC Turbo R is a true mountain disruptor—an aggressive, purpose-built machine that redefines deep-snow performance through a distinctively European approach to rugged terrain and technical backcountry riding. As a relative newcomer to the North American mountain sled scene, the Shredder DS doesn’t just bring something different—it brings something exceptional. From the ultra-responsive PPS² DS+ rear suspension to the unique, reinforced Radien² platform, every aspect of this snowmobile has been engineered for extreme durability, precision control, and raw performance in the harshest alpine conditions.

The 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine delivers explosive power at elevation with seamless throttle response, offering a factory-boosted experience that allows riders to attack vertical lines and high-altitude chutes with confidence. Where the Shredder truly separates itself is in its ride character: it's built stiffer and more planted than traditional North American sleds, giving it an ultra-stable, razor-sharp feel when carving, jumping, or maneuvering in unpredictable snowpack. The narrow 34" ski stance on the DS variant further enhances agility, allowing quick transitions and effortless sidehilling even in complex terrain.

What makes the 2023 Shredder DS especially compelling is its commitment to rider-focused durability. This is a sled designed to take punishment—from repeated drops to long days in frozen, unforgiving terrain—and still come back for more. Reinforced chassis components, durable plastics, and aggressive ergonomics make it feel more like a mountain assault vehicle than a backcountry toy. And while it demands rider input and rewards technical skill, it never feels out of control or unpredictable—it delivers consistent, planted feedback that experienced mountain riders will appreciate and trust.
