Ski-Doo Elan 250 Snowmobile (1970-1996)

The Ski-Doo Elan 250 was a compact and lightweight snowmobile produced by Bombardier from 1971 to 1996. Renowned for its affordability, reliability, and ease of repair, it was designed as an entry-level machine for beginners, utility tasks, and recreational riding in deep snow. The Elan 250 series primarily featured Rotax engines in 247cc (often called 250cc) and 294cc displacements, available in both single and twin-cylinder configurations. While maintaining a largely consistent core design, the Elan saw significant powertrain and feature updates. Initially, the 1971 base model came with a 247cc single-cylinder engine producing 12 horsepower. From 1973 onwards, twin-cylinder options were introduced, including a 247cc twin-cylinder engine rated at 16 hp for models like the Elan 250 Twin/Deluxe, and a sportier Elan SS with a 22 hp twin-cylinder and dual carburetors. Mid-1970s brought the 294cc twin-cylinder engine in Elan 300/300 SS variants, offering up to 26 hp. Suspension also evolved, with some later and higher-performance trims adopting slide rail suspensions and ski shocks, while electric start became an available option on models like the Elan 250E and Deluxe.
