lol the dude on the snowbike makes it look kinda boring since he's being a totally passive rider (sitting, not giving the vehicle any 'english', just kinda going thataway). Dude on the sled is definitely skilled at getting that thing through deep powder in the trees, makes the trip look 10x more fun. 😂

Just wondering if you can keep the ski down when you want, seems like it is up sometimes when you don't want it to be.....and here comes a tree. Never ridden but want to. They seem fun. I've met Mark a few times and he's a good guy.

You can easily add ski pressure by turning the compliant strut rod one rotation at a time to find your ideal setting. We set our bikes to be as wild as possible
@coastmountainsnowmx592310 ай бұрын
The CMX 129 is another option with inherently more ski pressure than the 120. We’ve all moved on from the 129’s though. The 120’s are way too much fun!

I think with the way sleds have devloped in the last ten years, this bike/sled ride day is allot mor possible. Both riders seem experienced, but neither is doing outragous moves. I am a two wheeled guy through and through, but when it comes to snow, I still prefer two skis. I think it goes to show how far sledsand riders have come for tree riding. If this was a first gen timbersled versus an old Polaris pro, I think the sled would have worked way harder tjust to be left behind. This vid goes to prove, in my old age I am sticking to two skis and watching you young bucks do this silly stuff. All in all, full respect to both riders. keep up the great vids!

Years ago I had a Summit X which I had a blast on but these look so much more fun. The only thing I can say I wished they fix on both of them is the noise levels, I’m not one of these people that enjoyed them when I had one then try and stop everyone else as I get older. I’m also a very avid snowboarder and enjoy the tranquility of a bluebird fresh dump day, with the birds flying around and the occasional “WhooHoo”. The other day I seen a company that makes smaller versions of snow bikes and one of them is electric, but I’m not an electric vehicle believer. What’s the run time in those cold conditions, two years from now is the company going to be closed and no replacement batteries available

So, I was thinking about this today while riding a bunch of steep stuff. CMX and TS Riot both talk about the ski being light. How does that work with you suddenly hit a short steep bit that you need to pull, and not loop out of?
@coastmountainsnowmx59232 жыл бұрын
Great question. A kit with a “planted ski” has an advantage in the scenario you’re describing where it’s Easier to make a last second decision when you have no momentum to pull that steep line. Wilder riding kits like the CMX require more terrain foresight and throttle control in the steep woods. But once you adjust your riding technique you may find the advantages of a light ski for technical terrain riding. I find myself steering more with the track, which for me has become an easier way to navigate gnarlier zones. CMX kits make very different Snowbikes than what most riders are used to. I never insist that it’s a “better” option because different riders want different things. Seems like much of the market prefers a planted ski / pow tractor. Nothing wrong with that at all. This is why I believe demos are so important.

I just read your description and it kind of makes me worried because I’m a new rider at 56 years old, I love snowmobiling but I bought me a 2020 CRF 450 L brand new and finally decided to get me a snow bike kit which I’m waiting for, it’s the rale Industries 120 MT, i’ve done mods to the bike to get more power and after 30 years of not being on a bike I’ve got 450 miles on this thing. Oh and by the way all of my previous experience was on street bikes so you could imagine how fun it’s been learning this thing at my age, can’t wait to get it in the snow though.
@coastmountainsnowmx59233 жыл бұрын
I'd be more excited than worried if I were you! The great thing about 120 kits is you can hold third, sometimes 4th gear when climbing. So much more fun than "tractoring around" in 2nd...(IMO). Doesn't take too long to get the hang of making track speed banging gears... while you have the handling advantage of a shorter bike. Easier riding in the woods, where snowbikes really shine.
