“They are different and they appeal to a whole new group of people who can really grow the market,” he said. Snow biking is poised for that same surge, Wolf said. It’s reminiscent of Polaris’s introduction of its revolutionary side-by-side off-road utility vehicles, which have swept the off-road industry in the past decade. Polaris, the nation’s leading seller of snow machines, says snow biking is the fastest-growing winter motor sport. Wolf sees snow biking growing along the same trajectory as snowboarding in the early 1990s, opening a new sport inside a venerable market. “Everyone just goes in a herd and they can get through the same terrain and you don’t get nearly as frustrated as you do trying to keep up with expert snowmobilers.” But snow bike groups can be experienced riders with kids or older riders. “Snowmobilers typically stick with people in their skill level,” he said. Polaris sees Timbersled - which has expanded into 200 dealerships across North America - expanding the motorized snow sports market into a new realm, Wolf said.Ī realm where moms, dads, grandparents and kids can all ride together for a day on snow. You can’t do that on snowmobiles, Sieg said. But it turns like a jet ski with more of a leaning carve than a handlebar turn. A snowmobile is a like a car and a snow bike is like, well, a motorcycle.

The snow bike experience is much different from snowmobiling.
