Some thought the Wankel rotary would re-revolutionize snowmobiling like the two-stroke engine had done in the 1960s. Light and compact with few moving parts, virtually vibration free, quiet for the day and capable of producing more horsepower and greater low-end torque than a heavier two-stroke of similar displacement, the Wankel was popping up in many sled brands.
Arctic Cat was its primary rotary engine customer, receiving literally thousands of the engines for snowmobiles and lawnmowers. But Alouette and Skiroule were also allocated significant quantities.
