2013 KTM 500 XC-W Turbo Snow Bike
You may have seen or heard about our Yamaha WR450F Turbo Snow Bike (here: http://www.snowest.com/2013/11/snowest-snow-bike-build/) if you were at the Utah Snowmobile Show to witness its birth or hear the buzz about the this exciting new arrival to the SnoWest fleet. The potential of a snow bike is huge. These machines can provide the agility and freedom of a dirt bike because of their size, weight, and slender profile. Combine that freedom with the endless playground of snow-covered mountains, and you've got something special.
We thought it would be interesting to pair a couple of these bikes up and ride them side by side in the deep this season. Having two bikes would allow us to see where these things will really go as we head out of the field and into the trees, where it can get too tight for a sled.
