The Sno-Go Bike raised several eyebrows when it was first launched back in 2015, but the latest and greatest iteration of this snow bike takes things to a completely different level thanks to a significant reduction in weight that is achieved without compromising on safety or performance.
The fourth-generation variant of this snow bike is equipped with an articulated system that makes it possible for the skis to move independently, allowing riders to handle complex terrain with greater versatility.
However, the biggest upgrade that is evident in the Sno-Go Bike is the fact that its articulating mechanism is now made of a special carbon fiber material that transaltes to a weight saving in the region of 5.4 kg, giving it a total weight of only 12 kg.
Available for a price of $2,499, the latest and greatest version of this snow bike offers improved handling, boosted nimbleness and all-round elevation in performance.
