Winter memories are made on the snow, and for a new generation of riders, those memories start with the Ski-Doo MXZ 120 and MXZ 200. These youth-specific snowmobiles are more than just downsized versions of adult sleds; they are purpose-built to inspire confidence and a lifelong love for the sport. For 2026, Ski-Doo’s youth lineup continues to be the benchmark for safety, reliability, and most importantly, fun.

A First-Class Introduction to Snowmobiling

The 2026 MXZ 120 and MXZ 200 are designed to give young riders an authentic snowmobiling experience in a package that is safe and easy to control. Both models feature an air-cooled, four-stroke engine that provides the perfect amount of power for learning.

MXZ 120: With a 123cc engine producing 6.5 horsepower, the MXZ 120 is the ideal starting point. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, with a manual starter and a simple adjustable band brake system, allowing parents to easily control the learning process. The 67 x 10 x 0.75-inch Cobra track provides plenty of traction for backyard adventures.

MXZ 200: For young riders ready to step up, the MXZ 200 offers a more powerful 192cc engine, which delivers 9 horsepower. It comes with an electric start and a hydraulic brake system, giving riders a taste of the features found on a full-sized sled. The longer 93 x 10 x 1.0-inch Cobra track provides enhanced flotation and a smoother ride.

Safety First, Fun Always

When it comes to youth snowmobiles, safety is the top priority. Both the MXZ 120 and MXZ 200 come standard with a safety tether cord. This essential feature gives parents peace of mind by allowing them to quickly shut off the engine if the rider comes off the sled. The sleds’ low profile and wide, adjustable ski stance (30.5 inches) provide a stable and predictable ride, helping to build a young rider’s confidence.

To keep little hands warm on cold days, both models also include heated handlebar grips. A halogen headlight and low windshield are also standard features, ensuring visibility and basic protection from the elements.

Big Sled Features in a Pint-Sized Package

Ski-Doo has packed these youth models with features that mimic their full-sized counterparts, providing a familiar feel and inspiring a sense of pride in young riders.

A-Arm Front Suspension: The A-arm front suspension with hydraulic twin-tube shocks offers a responsive and comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and providing better control.

Slide Rail Rear Suspension: The rear suspension, with a slide rail and adjustable torsion spring, helps the sled track straight and true, while also providing a smooth ride.

Real Brakes: The MXZ 200’s hydraulic brake system and the MXZ 120’s adjustable band brake give young riders the feel of a real brake, an important skill to learn.

The Perfect Start to a Lifelong Passion

The 2026 Ski-Doo MXZ 120 and MXZ 200 are more than just toys; they’re the gateway to a lifetime of winter fun. With their focus on safety, reliability, and authentic snowmobile feel, they are the perfect way to pass down the passion for snowmobiling to the next generation. These youth models are the foundation for a family tradition that will create lasting memories for years to come.
