SnoWest Snow Bike Project: KTM 500 Turbo

Snow Bike

Next, Bryce Kendrick and Josh Kennedy from Turbo Performance in West Haven, Utah stepped in and installed their turbo kit. Turbo Performance claims 100+ hp on most 450 four stroke bikes as baseline or more, depending on the model and setup. Carbon fiber and aluminum exhaust look sharp and help keep weight down. This turbo kit mounts to the track frame, which provides a solid mount and will allow the turbo to remain installed on the track during summer storage. Turbo Performance also installed a set of heated grips and a set of Acerbis black plastics.

Finally, we installed a Toyskinz graphic wrap to set add contrast with the snow and provide a look that's unique to this bike. 

We'll also be carrying extra race fuel in a Mountain Addiction Track Rack System that will hold a 3.3 gallon can. We will be running this bike without a Rekluse clutch for now to compare the riding experience with the Rekluse on the Yamaha. 

Keep an eye out for these bikes. We're excited to see where they go.
