What's New for 2012
Timbersled is constantly listening to our customers and performing many hours (and miles) of testing in order to improve our products. With our first full year of having snow bike kits in the field we learned quite a bit. We learned that the Mountain Horse outperforms everyone's expectations, even ours. We will continue to do everything we can to produce the absolute best snow bike conversion kit available.
- Wider ski spindle ears enabling more adjustment in the ski trailing of the spindle for added trail ride comfort
- Steel sprockets made from heat treated 4140 Chrome-Moly steel
- EK O-ring chain
- Brake caliper re-designed to connect to the stock foot brake master cylinder or stock hand brake master cylinder (optional brake line needed for hand brake)
- Fox Zero Pro sprung shocks with internal jounce bumpers. These shocks make the suspension smoother and are more bottom out resistant.
- Hard anodized cross shafts throughout the back suspension. This reduces sticktion in all the moving parts and provides a more precision ride quality due to the hard bearing-like surface that the anodizing provides.
- 1 limiter strap compared to 2 on last year's model. The strap is wider for added strength and is on a bushing pivot at the bottom so that the strap folds in the same direction every time the suspension compresses. This produces a more precision ride because the 2 ends of the strap do not run into each other, a common problem that all snowmobile style suspensions have.
