I do a lot of filming and riding with Geoff of Geoff Kyle's Freeride in Pemberton, BC. If you are not familiar with him, he has been riding sleds for a very long time and got into guiding snowbikes about four years ago. He was one of the prominent riders of Slednecks for many years before that. He is based out of Pemberton, BC near Whistler Canada. Probably some of the best riding in North America.

This year he pulled all the stops with six brand new Beta RRS bikes and new Yeti 129 Freeride kits. I'll give the rundown on our builds as it progresses. We will be using the best of what ever we can get... C3 Powersports, Revv-Up, FMF Racing, Cyclops, Etc...
Heres a sneak video from ride 2

I went up to help Geoff and Andrew uncrate and set up three of the bikes for some break in rides... Two 430RRS and four 500RRS bikes... man do they look good... A little breakdown on the Betas-
Street legal from the factory for the S models. 430RRS dyno'd stock at 57HP. 500RRS dyno'd at 62HP stock. No emissions crap like the other euro bikes. Trailtech Voyager GPS speedo, which still works as a speedo running off GPS mode for snowbike use. Has maps, altitude, temps, tach, etc... really handy for what we are doing. Bikes have 6spd transmissions, 2.0g clear tanks, hydraulic clutch, ZF forks, etc.. Made in Italy. Everything is well thought out, like push button seat release and neatly wired dash instruments. The bikes were purchased through Pemberton Valley Chainsaw in downtown Pemberton, the local Beta dealer just a minute from Geoff's. Geoff is a Yeti Dealer "Mtn Moto" and has a good relationship with Camso.
For the initial setup, we basically just mounted the Yeti kits and pulled the complete airbox assemblies off each bike (takes about 15 minutes to pull the whole airbox and replace with a pod.) Will be finishing the bikes off with lots of goodies soon.
Snow-Checked Yeti Freeride 129 kits with matching anodized colors.
We got three kits mounted and pushed them outside to be started for the first time.
And then we took them for a break in ride
STOKED.
Snow was a bit deeper than anticipated
Next day we went out again.. because why not?
Initial impressions - wow... best out of the box setup I have rode to date. Super nimble, great top to bottom power, just amazing.
We are waiting for all the C3 and other parts to come in to get the fully equipped. Should be soon!
