Ski-Doo’s X-Team approaches the 2017-18 ISOC snocross season with one of its strongest group of riders ever in the Pro Open class. Joining past champion Tim Tremblay and 2017 race winners Lincoln Lemieux and Elias Isohel will be Ryan Springer with Boss Racing and Adam Renheim at Warnert Racing. Defending champion Aki Pihlaja (Boss Racing) and past winner Max Taillefer (Warnert Racing) will lead the charge in the Pro Lite class - which will add another level of excitement for Ski-Doo race fans this winter.

Teams providing the sleds, set-ups, maintenance, practice facilities and logistics are what allow these talented riders to compete every weekend. Tremblay and Lemieux continue their Scheuring Speed Sports relationship while Ishoel, and Springer join Pihlaja at BOSS Racing and Renheim and Taillefer run for Warnert Racing this season.
