Riders in North America will finally be able to buy Lynx sleds, starting with their 2022 models. It’s welcome news, as the Lynx Boondocker DS is a highly versatile deep-snow weapon designed for some of the harshest backcountry off-trail riding. I jumped on the chance to ride the new Lynx Boondocker models for a couple days and test them in the steep and deep backcountry terrain I’m fortunate enough to call my backyard, West Yellowstone,
Montana.
So, how does it ride?
The Lynx Boondocker
DS was designed in Finland to withstand some of the harshest most rugged mountain environments known to snowmobiling. It’s a sled that likes to be ridden rough and designed to excel in hardcore backcountry style riding. But that doesn’t mean it handles like a lumber wagon. If fact, it handles amazingly well

From the first few minutes you ride the Boondocker DS sleds, you can feel the responsiveness, with the chassis reacting with very little input from the rider. For someone riding in the mountains all day this is great; you conserve a lot of energy as the sled takes less input to put it where you want. They also have a short Radien DS tunnel for less drag in deep snow, for more agility and fun-factor playing in the powder. This really helps with technical maneuvers in steep terrain and deep snow. It allows you to bring the sled around much easier when you’re in a climb or doing a reentry.
