dirtybeacher Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 "So one of my buddies is an engineer at Arctic Cat. I asked him about the snowbike that is a sherco or whatever and mentioned that it seems like they missed the mark on it. He said they are in the works on something way better for a snowbike already. That is all I know, will try and get details as I can." They shouldve just just built a ground up bike in the first place. I guess theyve given up on trying to get the svx approved for trail use in the states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Nobody is buying a Snow bike to ride the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 They seem to be best suited to back country riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 There's no question as to their preferred use off trail. But, having them trail legal in the east would - -allow easier access to crown land -use of popular staging areas(instead of parking somewhere sketchy) -access to fuel and restaurants -easier towing out a dead bike The older setups had poor trail handling, but the new kits setup with convex track and triple point carbides are quite trail worthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
