Snorocket - the future?

Saw this thought the forum might find it interesting or amusing:

SnoRocket 800 LT - 155 hp CVT Snowbike | Snowmobiles | Calgary | Kijiji

Got a mix of riding buddies with Mountain sleds and Snowbikes? Go everywhere a Mountain sled can go, and anywhere a Snowbike can fit. This is the future of mountain sledding. The first SnoRocket 800 LT in Canada. Insane power to weight ratio. No shifting with the CVT - always perfect powerband...

There’s a build thread on snowest from around 2013 or 2017 it all blends together.

And the original.

Cvt snow bike

So many have seen few of my crazy ideas before and this is the latest. I have always been one to modify anything I have laying around so it's just normal to see this becoming what it is. This is version 2. As most of you who have been on snow bikes for awhile now agree that more power is...

Sorry I didn't know there was a thread on this already. Just sounded like what everyone seems to want - a lot more power for their snowbike

That is a work of art. Dude knows what works. Nice

Anyone know what they weight? I've seen them around for a long time but never got to ride one. Looks like the ski pressure should be light enough with the engine way back. I just know what I can do with 70hp and a great box I don't want any more. The biggest problem with snow bikes is they don't have the correct geometry to transfer the weight onto the track when there's no traction in baseless snow they can't transfer at all like a sled does. 3-in paddles helped but they just fix the geometry we wouldn't need more power or bigger tracks.

Looks like the future to me.
But only if someone can manufacture them and provide parts for them. That takes some serious investment and R&D.
I'd ride it for sure.

I’m not sure a 400 lb snowbike is the future. If they were that rad we would have heard alot more about them for the people he built them for. Im just having a hard time picturing flicking it around tight trees down hill on 30-40 degee North facing powder slop.Not saying I wouldn’t give it a try though!

is it heavy or not ?

That would depend if you feel a 420lbs machine is heavy or not.

Personally I'd rather have a machine weigh 150lbs and have only 30hp.
