Snowbike in Utah maybe try again?

[wwillf01]

So I tried the AdBovin and thought it was useless... I really like the concept.... I found our snow here is so light and fluffy that I only could use the Adbovin in Spring.... Now this year I have a new Ktm 300 and was thinking about the Timbersled.... But I really wanted to hear from someone in Utah that is able to use these in deep light Utah snow... The one I had could not go at all once 2 feet of snow dropped. I am lucky in that I get to pick and ride on almost every snow day so I primarily am always riding in untracked powder. Timbersled is much more expensive so I would have to sell the sled so I want to be able to ride in the deep snow..... I feel that the snow here is so light that the last bike sank like a rock... That is saying a lot because I run an unmodified Nytro which is a pretty heavy machine. When the Adbovin worked I liked it but the pivot point on the fork was terrible for kick starting the old bike I had. I found when it got stuck it was impossible to get it unstuck with out some help from other people. Let me also add I am about 220 without gear....

you are roughly the same weight as i am. I am one of the utah dealers.

The kit works great. i have had it in snow that comes to my knees. still keeps on trucking.

the timbersled kit is total different than the ad bovin. not even in the same ball park imo...

give me a call maybee i can answer some questions for ya.

I have a timbersled ST on my 11' KTM 300xc and it's excellent! We rode in powder over the front fender in Logan last winter

So when you are in powder like that you are talking 1st and 2nd gear? How many hours are you doing top ends (Being on the dirt I am getting 130hrs a season before I have to do a topend)... I would assume you are always in the upper rpms? Burning through a tank of fuel in a couple of hours of deep pow? Would you compare floatation to a smaller bore snowmobile with a 154? I currently have a bone stock 2008 Nytro 154.... Thanks for the input.

I definitely go through the fuel quicker in the snow, because I'm on it hard ALOT. My bike still has under 100 hrs on it (wish I had more time to ride it) and is on original piston, but im putting a top end in it before the kit goes on this year. In the powder your on it a lot harder than packed snow. How it compares to a snowmobile, I don't have very much sled experience. I'm a dirt bike rider, until last year my riding consisted of trails, and desert racing all on dirt..... Timbersled changed that, and it's a blast!
