Snowbike

Gone are the days when dirt bike riders are forced to put their off-road motorcycles away for the winter. With the advent of snow bike kits, they can now convert their dirt bikes to run on the snow. It’s called snow biking or snow moto, and it’s a new sport that is growing in Western Canada and the Western United States. Here, we recognize the riders, such as Reagan Sieg, Brock Hoyer, Cory Derpak and Brett Turcotte, who are pushing the snow bike sport to new limits. We also take a look at the different snow bike manufacturers—including Timbersled, Yeti Snow MX, 2Moto (RadiX), Moto-Trax, Holeshot Inc. (Snow Ripper) and Arctic Cat (SVX 450). And we cover snow bike news, as well as racing and riding stories.
