Timbersled is a very clever invention that allows you to dirt bike in the snow. Essentially a conversion kit for your dirt bike, it takes the place of your wheels and instead provides a snowmobile-like experience.
This works by putting a ski in the place of your front wheel, and a track system in the back to create the snow bike, which is growing rapidly in popularity among dirt bikers who want to use their bikes year-round.
If you think this is awesome — and we agree — you’re joining an ever-growing community of Timbersled enthusiasts around the world. If you’d like to know where the idea for Timbersled comes from, read on and find out.
Timbersled
The idea for Timbersled was born way back in 2002, when Allen Mangum worked on modifying snow mobiles and created the first rear suspension to offer double coupling, called the Mountain Tamer. This was transformed into the Timbersled concept in 2008, and eventually hit production lines in 2010.
In 2015, Polaris bought Timbersled and continued to develop the technology. This resulted in the ARO platform launch in 2017, which further revolutionized industry of snow bikes. With its improvements in engine efficiency, handling, and performance, the ARO platform took the Timbersled to new heights and made it even more popular.
Today, Timbersled continues to innovate and add to their existing inventory with products like RIOT, a track system that performs so much like a tire it makes the snow bike feel like a real dirt bike again. Obviously, the Timbersled has taken hold and continues to grow as it becomes more popular with dirt and snow bikers everywhere.
Now that you’re familiar with Timbersled, you might want to try snow biking out for yourself. At DDRV.com, we’ve got you covered in the Timbersled department. Here are the current models available at our Boise, Idaho dealership:
