New Timbersled ARO platform
A Timbersled system converts a dirt bike into a snow bike that rides on a ski up front and a track in the rear. The system lets a rider use that favorite dirt bike year-round, exploring winter’s snow-covered terrain – on hard-pack as well as in deep, ungroomed snow.
For 2018, Timbersled is elevating the ride experience yet again with the all-new Timbersled ARO platform. This innovative system provides the ultimate in performance and handling, while changing the game in ease of installation. The new ARO system platform is 11 lbs. lighter, and features an all-new aluminum chassis, rear suspension, track, and ski that combine to give riders industry-leading handling, the easiest convertibility and is still Timbersled tough.
2018 Timbersled models include:
- ARO 120- Delivering the ultimate in crossover performance
- ARO 120 LE- Limited-edition version with upgraded shocks, custom colors and graphics.
- ARO 137- Delivering the incredible flotation, traction and acceleration deep snow riders need to ride higher and go deeper into the backcountry.
- ARO 137 LE- Limited-edition version with upgraded shocks, custom colors and graphics.
- ST 120 RAW- The industry’s best snow value
- ST 90 RIPPER- Every rider in the family can go snow biking. The system is designed for 110cc dirt bikes and, with its low ride height, it provides riders with easy, responsive handling.
Timbersled is the top choice among today’s snow bikers – and snow bike racers – because the system delivers the best performance, the most-innovative technology and the most exciting riding experience.
