This season has been a busy one for us already! We've been to several different events so far and we are getting excellent feedback. We wanted to give everyone a look at some of the features the people have been most excited about!

Our skid and tunnel for 2017 has changed in a few ways from last years model:

-The swing arm is upgraded from water jetted steel plate to billet aluminum. This gives us a lighter and stronger component with a sleeker, cleaner look.

-We used a slimmer beam profile on our rails which allowed us to reduce the weight by a 3/4 lb.

-We added a solid aluminum backbone and extended the side panels the full length of the tunnel to increase strength.

-We offer 3 kits this year, all with there own custom tuned Fox Shock:
> Trax.Enduro has a Fox IFP shock that's custom tuned for
freeriding.
> Trax.Mountain has a Fox IFP shock that's custom tuned for
mountain riding.
> Trax.Mountain has a Fox RC2 full moto tuned shock with a piggy
back reservoir and 3-way adjustment.

-We've added a greasable ball joint that pivots 25 degrees, up from 18 degrees last year.

-Back again this year is our automatic track tensioners. Through the use of this innovative design you can adjust the tension of your track in a matter of seconds!

-New this year we added 2 safety guards. The chain guard protects the rider from getting caught in the chain and final drive sprocket. The track guard serves two purposes, it keeps your boots from hitting the track and it helps keep snow from spraying on your engine and throttle body/carburetor.

-This year we offer the Tuff Jug gas can. we have 2 sizes available: 2.7 gal and 5.0 gal. The Tuff Jug comes stock on our Trax.Mountain kit and is available as an accessory for the other kits.

- Our most exciting new feature is our fully enclosed brake rotor that is mounted to end of the drive shaft. This industry first design completely eliminates brake freeze-up!

We're excited for 2017 to be our best season yet!

For the second year of production that kit looks well put together, the brake cover is something TS could take a note from... Very sleek and clean looking design.

I do have a question as I snowchecked the forksafe ski mount. It looks like sitting on a stand the ski has the natural tendency on that to lean forward? Don't you want the ski to naturally sit with it more leaning back? More of a chance for it to float when landing off a jump or bump rather than dive into the snow?

Our ForkSafe ski mount is thinner this year. In the picture above we are using a Slydog ski which fits kind of loose. Our new ski has a better fit and won't sag like that. We will also have a spacer kit available so our spindle will work with all ski brands.

I assume you will continue to develop the kit, as you update will you try to offer kits to upgrade the kit I bought this year?

Could you please explain why you chose to locate the track further back away from the bike frame compared to the other snowbike kits available? This might be a less desirable feature for handling?

We designed it that way for 2 reasons. Clearance for bikes with kickstand mounts and clearance for gear and chain adjustments. Nobody that has road our kit back to back with a different manufactures kit has ever mentioned noticing a difference in handling form that design feature. The only noticeable difference is our pivot.
