A bearing hub is positioned within a drivetrain assembly of a snowmobile. The bearing hub includes a body and a bearing sleeve that is coupled to the body. The body has an upper connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, an aft connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, a lower connection rigidly coupled to a heat exchanger and an engine mount connection resiliently coupled to an engine mount to reduce vibration transfer from the engine to the bearing hub. The bearing sleeve has a bearing aperture that is configured to receive a bearing assembly therein. The the upper connection, the aft connection and the lower connection form a triangular support arrangement for the driven shaft. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to the bearing sleeve by the bearing assembly.
