THE NEW 1974 RUPP SNOWMOBILES

November 1973 - The 1974 Rupp Snowmobile Line.  The Sport and American are basically the same as the 1973's with some new stripping but The Nitro II is an all new sled.
   Rupp's Back In The Ballpark With A Very Light, Super Fast, All-Out Handler.- The Rupp Nitro II is the first major design change out of the company for years, and deserving of more significant recognition than a mere "II" added to the old name.  The most obvious giveaway is that for the first time at Rupp, the engine has been moved down and ahead of the chassis tub.  This forces the relocation of practically every component under the hood.  This effectively lowered the center of gravity by about two inches and makes it one of the lowest  in its category.  The Nitro II is powered by either a 340cc or 440cc Kohler fan cooled engine with dual Mikuni carbs.  The suspension is also new with a new involute track and drive system.
