I think that some that have not been around the Mountain Horse are thinking that the back suspension and track suck up the HP. It's an eye opener when we start racing them on a track. Derrick Driggs has a 2-moto and now a MH. He has a lot more time on his 2-moto. He is seconds faster every lap on the MH. It is simply do to how good the back suspension is and how will the keeps its lines and how well the power is transfered to the ground. This makes him faster down the whoops and faster into each corner.
I find it crazy that some are comparing there product to the Timbersled product and making claims without the time comparing the two head to head and having snow time on a Timbersled product.
The Timbersled kit may not be setting any land speed records but Allen has spent allot of time and money getting this product to the snow let alone the patent cost to make sure this kit is the best of all worlds from the Mountains to the track it does it all!!
Hope you were not referring to me. I can see that Timbersled has a great mountain product. But with all that rotating weight its not good for two strokes is all I was saying(our kit is the same, you can not get rid of track and drive weight, at least not much of it). The 2moto is more than likely worse off because of the TINY drivers in the rear and even smaller idlers up front. From my test this is the biggest cause of power loss on these kits.
In fact I was comparing it to our kit which is far from a 2moto or a Timbersled. We went with a whole different approach for our product!
But mountian products dont TEND to do good on the trail could you agree with that!
I would actually like to ride one of the Timbersleds kits but I dont know how that works being the competitor?
I also no all about patent cost which is why I cant SHOW you all what I am talking about. Patents at this point are by far the most expensive part of the whole program.
I can however ducted from my reasoning of how and what is needed for snowmobiles to work in different conditions. Our product is build with most conditions in mind with an emphasis on large impacts and big air as well as high speed with like I said enough track to get in deep and have some fun.
Most of what I know about the Timbersled is what I have seen in the vids and have studied there suspension. It regards to jumping and high speed I our kit is designed to tackle them with ease. I have also watched the videos of them jumping and running out of suspension at about 5 feet in the air.
As far as I know I am the only one comparing products so I assume you were talking to me. I dont think I was doing anything wrong in what I said? At any rate it will be interested to see how the sport evolves.
I would also like to comment that when our product is ready I would love to do a head to head in a variety of different settings, snocross, climbing, boondocking, trail, jumping, balance and whatever else we could come up with.
