Moto-Ski Zephyr 440 Snowmobile (1972-1973)

The Moto-Ski Zephyr 440, produced from 1972 to 1973, was a popular snowmobile known for its robust performance. In 1972, it featured a 435cc BSE twin-cylinder engine delivering 33 horsepower and was available as the "Zephyr 440T". The 1973 model year saw the introduction of a 436cc BSE F/C (Fan Cooled) engine, maintaining 33 horsepower, and was simply known as the "Zephyr 440". The 1972 model year brought several updates, including a transition from fiberglass to plastic cowlings on most models, updated decals, and standard engine shrouding. The gas tank pickup was relocated to reduce leaks, and larger speedometers and tachometers were introduced. For 1973, while the Zephyr retained its core design, it underwent significant revisions. Foot loop running board supports and disc brakes were eliminated, and a new front bumper design was implemented. Skis became wider "high floatation" types, and the cowling was redesigned to feature a single headlight. These changes, alongside the introduction of the new "F" and "S" series with distinct engineering (low-mounted engines, aluminum tunnels, slide rail suspensions), marked a notable evolution for the Moto-Ski lineup.
