How does the Ski-Doo E Linq system work?

As snowmobilers, we love the freedom our sleds bring us. It’s addictive. And it’s why we continue to add ways to find more of it in every ride. Let us introduce you to E LinQ – the innovative solution that connects your heated gear and accessories to your snowmobile without adding more corded connections.

How E LinQ Works

E LinQ combines your Ski-Doo DESS tether into both a tether and a 12-volt accessory connection in one cord. A magnetic connector mounts to the sled next to the DESS post to provide the electric connection necessary to power any 12v accessory like heated shields, gloves, boots, and more.

When you connect the DESS tether, the E LinQ magnet instinctively connects to its magnetic location giving you instant power that maintains 100% connection. The RCA connection at the other end of the cord provides a nearly universal connection for your favorite heated riding gear.

For heated helmet visors, the Ski-Doo accessories and apparel team has taken convenience a step further by providing clips for your helmet cord inside your jacket to make connecting your helmet to the E LinQ system easy and simple to manage.

E LinQ Advantage

The beauty of E LinQ is the additional freedom and peace of mind it brings every time you hit the trail. By eliminating the cord for heated accessories, it’s one less item to worry about packing for a trip.

It’s also one less connection point to worry about. We’re always quickly reminded with a sudden tug on the helmet when we forget to disconnect that accessory cord. Worse yet, the cords that often accompany those heated accessories tend to break easily if you step on them or forget to disconnect them. E LinQ solves all that through its magnetic electric connection to the sled. If you forget it’s connected and walk away from the sled, it simply disconnects without any fear of damage to the connection or cord. When it’s not in use, it conveniently attaches to a socket at the D-ring on your jacket, so you don’t have to worry about stepping on it or snagging it anywhere when walking to and from your snowmobile.

And any innovation that gives riders more freedom to move and one less thing to worry about is something we’ll take every time we hit the snwomobile trails.
