Snowtech MX reviews
- Thread starter bhoth

I was on the 2017 SNOWTECH MX 137 last year, it was amazing. Road all winter with zero issues, no broken or worn parts. The kit is solid. Everybody that went with me wanted to ride it instead of the one they had.

Thank you post up some pics! And I am assuming you are still riding the same kit?
I also love my 129” kit. I can’t imagine anything on this thing breaking even in a pretty good impact.
Frame is billet aluminum
Driveshaft bearing housings are billet aluminum instead of stamped steel little holders
Billet brake caliper that is easy to bleed
Lots of chain adjustment I can run 12-15t countershaft on the same chain
Belt drive rolls easy and belt looks like new yet
3rd shock standard with 2 leverage ratios
Full width jackshaft makes it strong so the sidepanels don’t flex
Fits a 3” track with no modification
Customer service is top notch

i had my kit on a cr500 then I bought a yz450 for it but just moved to a 16 wr450. I like the WR the best so far where I ride the wide ratio trans is great and I need lights. Plus the electric start is a HUGE bonus since I hurt my right leg. Also have a new 3" tapered track to try this year.
Waiting on a new set of spindle bushings from Jaron since this has a different axle and wider forks for the speedo housing than my Yz

Love my '17 129". Rode last year without a single issue. Kit looks brand new still. I love the fact that it has grease zerks all over it to be able to lubricate it. The machine work is fantastic, and its built like a tank without being heavy. Best kit on the market in my opinion. Jaron's new dual position ski spindle for '18 looks pretty promising. He continues to innovate. I would definitely buy one again. No regrets.

I got a pre-production 18 SnowtechMX 120 last winter to take photos with for Snowtech. I have not had a single issue with it at all. No worn or damaged parts in any way. grease zerks everywhere, belt still looks new. You could run a truck over this kit. I can't wait to get the new track on it. The adjustable spindle is solid as a rock, and only 1lb heavier than the Yeti.

Chris you need to come to the east side of the state/North Idaho... I'd love to get some seat time on a Snowtech kit.

How did you find the WR450F to work out ? Looking at a 2018 YZ450F or a WR450F to build a snow bike for next season. Will use a SnowTechMX 127 for my ride. Hope to be the first in Michigan with one of Jarons kits.i had my kit on a cr500 then I bought a yz450 for it but just moved to a 16 wr450.

heard nothing but good things about Snowtech....
2018 yz and wr are totally different beasts. 2018 yz is all new 2018 wr is the same since 2016.
Has anyone rode side by side to an ARO? hows the performance?
Anyone looking to get one of these I’ll be selling mine CHEAP since I dislocated my knee again this weekend. PM me
You’d have to put the same track on them to really tell.
Its a shame the snowteck comes with the maxtrack 2. Hopefully he switches for next year.
DEPENDABILITY +++ = SNOWTECH

spend a few minutes on an aro... the snowtech with cmx track will pull away from the aro on climbs/deep pow. aro feels a bit easier on trail due to narrow width. both ride nice, snowtech will take being run over by a russian tank though
