Timbersled RIOT vs. ARO 

Timbersled Technology 

 

The Timbersled ARO platform gives riders unbeatable precision and handling in all snow conditions, while the RIOT was designed for those that want a more playful, dirt bike like feel on the snow. 

TIMBERSLED TOUGH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

FEATURED ON ALL TIMBERSLED RIOT & ARO KITS

TIMBERSLED TRAVERSE SKI

Tri-keel shape for precise handling and better lean angles.

EASY INSTALL

True bolt-on design makes it the easiest to install and convert. The pre-bled brake system combined with no air box modifications and no drilling to the spindle translates to quicker, easier changeovers.

TIMBERSLED BRAKE SYSTEM

Complete pre-bled brake system with Brembo® Master Cylinder provides consistent braking performance. Molded brake cover reduces ice build up and shields our industry-exclusive track speed sensor.

1:1 SKI TO TRACK RATIO

The track follows the path established by the ski and yields precise sidehilling and carving.
