Have you guys figured out pricing or will it be different for this small run than the production units? Rough idea maybe? Just like to see if they are right around all the other kits or maybe a bit cheaper.

All of the pricing info is on our website under the snowbike section and order page. But quickly we will be charging $5,500 for the complete kit with a fit kit and if you order soon, you will receive some pre-order benefits. Shipping is extra. Also with that $5,500 you are getting a premium product, that is well built and uses a high performance racing motocross shock like you bike came with but designed for our product.

Pricing may change next year as we release two new models.

Any chance of a longer track, and what and how wide is your ski?

Yes next year we plan on having two short track models, as well as a long track, most likely will be a 137. Our ski is a modified slydog powderhound. This ski is 8 inches wide, but don't directly compare the width to competitors as our suspension system we run gives us a lot less ski pressure.

Regardless of how much ski pressure your skid generates you guys are going to need a wider ski for deep dry powder, jumping, dropping off of stuff, bashing drifts and to deal with the weight of a snowbike.... When everyone is running crazy heavy springs and stiff valving and still bottoming there is a lot of down force landing that you are going to need some float to deal with. The 10" ski and 12" track is already a little unbalanced landing. Im running a 10" and 10" track and it's much more predictable. I would highly recommend thinking about a wider ski option for the aggressive mtn riders.. I still remember all the times I got tossed over the bars on a 6" ski and im sure everyone else does that had one as well, you will have a REALLLLLLY hard time convincing those people a narrower ski will work.

Next year we plan to offer a better ski selection for our entire product range, as we have more models launching next year we plan to have matching skis for each type of riding. We just have to do more testing to determine the proper width as well as many other critical factors that make up a good ski setup. Thank you for you input!

I like your tunnel and that you now have a good track on the back, but... less suspension travel than a Timbersled, heavier than a Yeti, and a pizza cutter for a ski... No mountain rider that knows anything is going to want it. Go outside the box.. Show us something new and unique. 155" x 3" with a 15" ski would get some heads turning and chutes slayed.

Or be a big slug that won't turn and will stand up in a 40 mph crosswind unassisted.

I'll be interested to see the reports from people that went with this kit this year! Looks good, and weight is in between a TS and Yeti for less than both cost wise.

Looks like it uses the KTM rear bike shock. If it were me I'd want a bit longer tunnel for two reasons, not near as much roost down your neck and easier to lift. I like the simplicity of the construction kind of a TS/UFO cross. Hope it works out.

I would also like to ad the safety reason. If falling off with throttle stuck due to a tree/snow/branch or similar, you would not want the track to fall over.

MotoTrax... will you be at any of the snowshows this year?

I would like to know if these are available in Canada, and if so, what is pricing like?

I just saw their kit at the AIME Show over the weekend. Very impressive!

They will be at the shows in Denver, SLC, Boise, Novi and West Yellowstone per their website

Here is a pic I took at the show

Nice looking color and graphics. Will be very interesting when all these new kits are on the snow in a couple of months.

n16ht5 · Oct 20, 2015

You will recognize them fron their front ends buried deep from the pizza cutter skis

powdermuncher · Oct 20, 2015

Enough ski comments to last a while -- I am sure they will figure out what they need as soon as there is a few feet of pow to ride. In this game you can vote with your wallet you don't need to resort to being the not so nice guy on the net.

PalousePoo · Oct 20, 2015

Hope to see you at the Spokane snow show?

SnoFro · Oct 21, 2015

I agree with PowderMuncher. This sport is at the very early stage of technology and selection. As the end users we need positive and encouraging. Show you opinion with your ride selection.
