I found a ruffian facebook page with a little more info. I read somewhere $8000 without the Yamaha motor! Mounts for a either a 14-17 Yamaha 450 or some other Yamaha 2 stroke. 129 Camso made track 10" wide. Fuel line is routed out of the mountain addiction can on the tunnel.
could work ? nice try on a single unit bike
They have been building snowbikes for a couple years.

My name is derek I own ruffian , if you have any questions feel free to ask
Hello Derek, why not give us a bike bio , powerplant, ride impressions, this is a great place to find real buyers if you are going out on the open market and sell your Ruffians.

What is the price point Dereck? Have you guys test rode it? If so do you have in footage of it? Thanks
A
Are you guys going full scale production? Will you offer the option to put motors in from other brands besides Yamaha?

Any pictures of the shifter side?
Interesting indeed.
If this product is any good in full size form, they need better marketing.

A couple different options and more information and pictures uploaded
Looks like $15k ready to ride.
No heated bars or electrical/headlight options.
It says curb weight 260lbs, is that ready to ride all day? Full spare fuel can etc?
Any ride video's?
I'd be curious to throw a leg over one!

nice clean design, a big step up withheat exchangers, a lot of issues covered here that we have talked about for years on this forum.

It would be great, if the engine bay was universal and they offered specific motor mounts/exhaust systems to accommodate a larger variety of powerplants. Would also like to see an Evol chamber on the rear shock. Bike looks super promising though!

I think the yamaha motor having the intake on the front really helps keep this design compact. (The airbox is where a gas tank normally would be)
personally I end up riding through trees, brush, rocks and such A lot so spring shocks would be preferred. (For durability)
I have zero connection with Ruffian (opposite ends of the states) but it seems like a great progression of the snowbike sport.
