The Alpina Sherpa is powered by an automobile engine!
The Ford 1.6 liter in-line four cylinder gasoline engine produces 115 horsepower and 114 foot pounds of torque.
Aluminum block, aluminum head, dual overhead cams with four valves per cylinder and variable camshaft timing...an advanced, economical, and long-life design.
Electronic ignition, fuel injection, full pressure lubrication gives you serious power for all your jobs.
You'll find this same reliable and economical powerplant in thousands of Ford automobiles sold throughout the world....available to you in your Sherpa.
Sherpa conforms to EPA Automotive standards!
Tough EPA standards for emissions and noise means that your Sherpa is the most quiet and clean machine available anywhere for work on snow,
As expected, the Sherpa features a full automotive exhaust system including full sized muffler and catalytic convertor.
The Sherpa turns so well you will forget you are riding a twin track!
Superior geometry and weight balance give the Sherpa the ability to turn tighter than many single track machines.
Aggressive carbide runners and a deep keel give the large skis the needed bite to carve nice, tight turns.
The Sherpa will ride on top of the snow rather than sink down and bury itself!
Superior design and weight distribution means you will be riding your Sherpa where others dare not go.
Total machine weight of over 1000 pounds is spread out over Sherpa's abundant track surface and skis resulting in very low ground pressure.
Sherpa's exclusive ATSS suspension ensures maximum traction in all conditions and terrain!
Sherpa is designed to work hard, carry lots, and pull strong...the dual tracks under your Sherpa are your ticket to increased productivity.
No other snowmobile currently being made has been designed like the Sherpa to go anywhere and work as hard as you do.
Sherpa is designed with operator comfort in mind, you don't have to suffer just because you're at work!
Lots of operator freindly features including heated grips, twist-grip throttle, heated seat, heated floor, "mitten friendly" switches.
Sherpa provides such a stable, smooth platform that you'll soon forget those "wrestling matches" needed to operate those other snowmobiles!
FUEL EFFICIENT, LOW OPERATING COSTS
Sherpa sips gas and keeps your operating costs low...you do more work with less fuel!
With gasoline and diesel continuing to climb in price, you simply cannot afford to run a machine that burns lots of fuel.
Sherpa quietly goes about the business of working hard for you, giving you many years of service with low maintenance costs.
