Get to Know Your Snow Bike

Because Timbersled snow bikes feature tall track paddles, the rear suspension rails and sliders will sit above the snowpack on a groomed trail. Always deploy the scratchers and limit high speed operation when trail riding.

Always practice riding your snow bike in a safe, open, flat area before attempting your first ride in mountainous terrain. This is especially important for low-elevation riders who are not accustomed to riding a snow bike designed for deep snow.

Do not ride in mountainous terrain until you are comfortable riding and controlling your snow bike in deep snow.

  • Practice turning, leaning and braking, both on the trail and off the trail. When you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, practice more advanced maneuvers in deep flat snow.

  • Learn techniques from more experienced riders.

  • Practice traversing through deep snow, which is when you will often need to steer by leaning your body weight in the desired direction.

  • Practice using proper throttle control to maintain vehicle momentum and adequate track speed in deep snow. Everyone gets stuck at some point in time. If you know your snow bike is becoming stuck, try to turn downhill as much as you can before the snow bike comes to a stop.
