Ski-Doo Citation 277 Snowmobile (1980-1984)

The Ski-Doo Citation 277, produced from 1980 to 1984, is a recreational snowmobile known for its reliability, fuel economy, and affordability. Primarily equipped with the single-cylinder, fan-cooled Rotax 277 engine, this model formed the basis of the Citation lineup, particularly in the 3500 trim. The Citation series underwent a major redesign in 1980 with the introduction of an entirely new chassis, featuring an aluminum tunnel and an all-rubber track, replacing previous models. For the 277 engine, displacement was reported at approximately 268cc in 1980, then 248cc from 1981 to 1984, indicating a revision or more precise specification. The Citation 3500 was the primary model equipped with the 277 engine. Other versions, such as the Citation 4500 and Citation SS, were also available, offering more powerful 368cc Rotax engines and different configurations. After this 1980 redesign, the series remained relatively stable in its overall design. FAQ:
