I tried snowbikes for two seasons in the winter of 2014-2016. While I loved the places you could go (deep ravines, sidehills, etc) but, I missed the ability to be able to lift the front tire whenever I needed to clear a snow covered log or whatever.
I had a piped 2010 KTM 530 XC-W with a 2013 Timbersled 136" kit. I was trying to keep the Timbersled kit up to date and the technology was advancing by leaps and bounds and my friends and family all still rode sleds so I ended up selling my snowbike. I figured if I really missed it, I would buy another one someday.
Then I saw these videos and realized that THIS is the answer to relatively low powered tractor like snowbikes. I can only imagine how fun a still lightweight 150 hp snowbike would be. Manufacturer's you knew there was potential in this market and this is where I feel the market is for a factory built snowbike.
