Vehicle Information
Ski-Doo Valmont 399 Snowmobile (1970-1971)
The Ski-Doo Valmont 399, produced from 1970 to 1971, was a popular snowmobile model known for its robust performance. Both model years were consistently powered by a 399 c.c. twin-cylinder engine, delivering 24 horsepower with an 8.75:1 compression ratio. This reliable engine platform remained unchanged throughout its production run.
While the core engine and chassis design stayed consistent, the 1971 model year saw an expansion in available trim levels. The 1970 lineup featured the Valmont 399R, which included reverse gear. For 1971, Ski-Doo introduced the Valmont 399ER, adding electric start to the reverse gear option, alongside the continued availability of the 399R. The 6-set bogie wheel system also remained consistent across these two years. FAQ:
