Stage 2 Clutch Kit for Ski-Doo 850 E-TEC (Long Track / Mountain) // SKU: 06-25-LT
⚙️ KIT CONFIGURATION & COMPONENT SELECTION:
- Step 1 (Select Elevation): Select your primary operating elevation above to reveal the recommended setup: High Elevation (6,000+ ft) or Low Elevation (0–6,000 ft).
- Step 2 (Customize Components): Each recommended component is pre-selected by default. If you already own an included item (such as our PTFE washers or an aftermarket top gear), simply switch that individual item's option to remove it from your package and reduce your total price.
- Track Requirement: Calibrated specifically for Ski-Doo REV Gen4 (2017–2022) and REV Gen5 (2023+) 850 E-TEC mountain sleds running 2.0" or deeper lug tracks (Summit and Freeride).
Base SKU: 06-25-LT (High Elevation: 06-25-201 / Low Elevation: 06-25-202)
Target Operating RPM: 7,900–8,000 RPM
Primary Application: 2017+ Ski-Doo REV Gen4 & Gen5 850 E-TEC mountain snowmobiles equipped with 2.0" to 3.0" lug tracks.
Eliminate belt slippage, lower sheave operating temperatures, and lock in consistent track horsepower with the Bikeman Performance Stage 2 Long Track Mountain Clutch Kit for the Ski-Doo 850 E-TEC. Deep powder resistance, steep technical terrain, and fluctuating elevations place severe strain on the factory pDrive and QRS drive systems. Stock clutching frequently allows erratic belt slip, premature upshift stall into overdrive, and high-temperature rate sag on sustained technical pulls.
Our Stage 2 mountain package is a synchronized drivetrain calibration engineered to match the torque output of the 850 E-TEC twin directly to your riding elevation. By pairing low-drag Goldstar magnetic weights, heavy-duty 5mm hex pivot hardware, progressive helix geometry, calculated spring loads, and low-friction PTFE thrust washers, this system keeps your engine running dead-center in its 7,900–8,000 RPM peak horsepower sweet spot with immediate backshifting the moment you let off in technical tree lines.
Elevation Package Configurations
High Elevation Package (6,000+ ft) [Base SKU: 06-25-201]
Calibrated specifically for high-altitude mountain backcountry riding where atmospheric power loss requires mechanical gear reduction, lighter primary arm mass, fine-tuning pivot bolts, and aggressive belt-pinching helix ramps:
- Goldstar Adjustable Clutch Weights (44–58g) [SKU: 05-GSW-4458]: Mountain-profile primary weights featuring tool-free magnetic snap-in tuning and our proprietary 5-step corrosion-resistant surface treatment. Allows micro-gram adjustments in minutes without pulling ramps.
- pDrive Adjustable Weight Pivot Bolt Kit [SKU: 05-202]: Upgraded 5mm hex bolts and 1.2g tuning shims. Allows you to drop pivot weight down to 12.0 grams (substantially lighter than factory baseline) to maintain target shift RPM in thin air above 8,000 ft without pulling ramps.
- Primary Drive Clutch Spring (173-385) [SKU: 05-173-385]: Shot-peened alloy spring with a 173 lb initial load for responsive engagement and a 385 lb finish load to control upshift speed under continuous mountain load.
- QRS XP4 Progressive Secondary Clutch Helix [SKU: 05-XP4]: Multi-angle ramp profile designed to increase belt clamp, slash sheave heat, and provide instant backshifting during steep, technical maneuvers.
- Ski-Doo 19T Top Chaincase Gear [SKU: TP-351519-002]: 1-tooth drop from stock OEM gearing (13-wide / 15-spline case-hardened steel) manufactured by TEAM Industries to multiply track-shaft torque and relieve belt strain.
- Smooth Shift Secondary PTFE Teflon Washers (3-Pack) [SKU: 05-TW-201-3]: Low-friction thrust washers that eliminate secondary spring bind, stabilize shift curves, and add 25–50 peak RPM.
- Note: This high-elevation setup retains and optimizes your factory OEM Ski-Doo secondary spring.
Low Elevation Package (0–6,000 ft) [Base SKU: 06-25-202]
Calibrated for sea-level to mid-elevation riding where full atmospheric horsepower requires heavier primary mass, increased secondary spring side-pressure, and precise pivot-bolt tuning:
- Goldstar Adjustable Clutch Weights (48–62g) [SKU: 05-GSW-4862]: Heavier base-mass magnetic adjustable weights engineered to load the 850 engine under full sea-level barometric pressure.
- pDrive Adjustable Weight Pivot Bolt Kit [SKU: 05-202]: Upgraded 5mm hex bolts and 1.2g tuning shims for quick fine-tuning of pivot mass (12.0g to 20.6g) to load the arms against sea-level horsepower without removing ramps.
- Primary Drive Clutch Spring (173-385) [SKU: 05-173-385]: Delivers identical 173 lb initial bite while maintaining the 385 lb finish control against heavier weight loads.
- QRS Secondary Clutch Spring (205-310) [SKU: 05-QRSS-205310]: High-rate secondary spring that exerts firm sheave clamping force across the drive belt to prevent belt slip under full power.
- QRS XP2 Progressive Secondary Clutch Helix [SKU: 05-XP2]: Low-elevation progressive angle cut for maximum acceleration and firm mid-range upshift.
- Smooth Shift Secondary PTFE Teflon Washers (3-Pack) [SKU: 05-TW-201-3]: Eliminates secondary spring bind and maintains consistent shift resistance.
- Note: This low-elevation setup retains your stock OEM chaincase gearing.
Key Performance Benefits
- Instantaneous Backshift Recovery: Snaps down on the drive belt the millisecond you release throttle, preventing the engine from falling out of its powerband in technical tree lines and deep powder.
- Significant Belt Temperature Drop: Synchronized helix angles, calculated spring rates, and PTFE thrust washers prevent belt scrub and clutch heat-soak.
- Tool-Free Trailside Tuning: Goldstar magnetic weights allow fast gram-weight changes directly through the clutch face without disassembling ramps or pins.
- Consistent Full-Shift RPM: Eliminates RPM fade on long, steep climbs, holding target 7,900–8,000 operating RPM across changing snow conditions.
