You guys rock. I have been snowmobiling for 15 years or so and just picked up my first snow-bike. Never really ridden a motorcycle or anything before. Love it for sure and miss the power of my sled; I can see the appeal of a turbo for sure. Thanks for the great videos and the tips on riding. I will have to look you up when I start rolling up north in my rig.
Thanks for the note! Welcome to the snowbike club! This just in, Boondocker is no longer making turbo kits for snowbikes. Ian from Riders Edge Suspension had a chat with them.
I have had some nice reflection time since riding the turbo. I think it is somewhat of an attempt to make a sled out of a snowbike. For me, a lot of the joy of snowbiking is in the unique adventure. Side-hilling for your climbs is just as fun, and they last longer!
Sled will always have their place, and snowbikes take up a different space.
Even though I don't need a turbo, now I am a bit sad that I don't even have the option. I am sure there is a deep and important reason for them going away, but hey, what a blast!
May all of your days be BOMBER!
122 HP, That KTM motor would grenade.
totally! 75hp max..
That turbo sled sounds like a ported saw when it's cooking. Sick.
Nice 😍😍 where we can buy turbo kit 😍
I was snowbiking up in revy and I met Jeff on the hill. Wicked dude and an amazing setup! So jealous of his setup haha
That’s so cool! Did you find out how his bike (track kit) is feeling? I fear it is more busted than he originally hoped.
Great vid guys as usual. Turbo performance looks cool, even though the vid demonstrates it was the turbo snowbike spending most of it's time stuck. Not too mention the Yeti proving once again they are not Timbersled TOUGH. But great content as usual.
This incident does have me thinking about my precious 129 SS and how exposed some of those carbon fibre pieces are. It's pretty cool that you can fix a TS with a hammer!
Hey man great vid. Love it!!
Haa! Good stuff.
My god that looks like fun
I really like watching your videos, you make it look so easy. I had the opportunity years ago to ride, do I dare say it, a Snowhawk. It was fun, but it was a handful to ride. I only had it for one day so I didn't really get a chance to figure it out. A snowbike though I think would ride completely different. And looks to be much more fun. Maybe one day, if I can justify the cost I'll own one. Until then I'll just keep watching your vides and wishing.
P.S. nice job riding the bike up Hells Gate in the intro. I've been up it in a Jeep, but not on a bike.
Jeremy P It is so cool that you know it is Hell’s Gate!
Get some grab straps on those bikes! One at the back of the seat held by the seat bolt and one up front held by the forks. Makes a world of difference trying to pull a bike up and not yank on fenders etc...
That is a good idea. More places to attach our slings. I will make a ATS Task to get this done. Thanks!
When are turbo snowbikes making a comeback?
I’d like to here what you think of the Christini AWD snowbike? Would it be fun, is front drive worth it or would it take away from the ride. Looks like a riot though!!
u guys ever seen the ruffian snow bikes? review maybe? you guys know ur stuff so it would be good to hear
We have never seen one in our region, or in person anywhere. Someday!
Still needs sled power! Keep trying......it'll get there one day.
I used to say that we had enough power and that we did not need more. Now I look back at that little baby rider and feel that he knew nothing. More power!
@@VernonSnowMX lol exactly! Except an elan - way too much power. Cheers!
wait a minute.. 122hp? what else did you do to the Engine? from like 72-75hp up to 122? the Engine cant handle that if its stock with just a turbo on it
Added some flame decals for an extra 15horsies
First off a 520 maybe has 60 62 horse stock so a turbo simply won't double the power so there must be mods done along with beefing up the tyranny and clutch it wasn't engineered for double the power input
@@joel387ktm that's what I was thinking... she would need to be super beefed op. I'm guessing 75hp total
@@joel387ktm um first stock they are maybe 55hp really. And actually a tubo @ 14.7 psi nearly doubles power.
Also the hp/l on dirt bikes is pretty low (traded for wide power band) in the grand scheme at 100-110hp/L
In contrast to a sport bike at over 200hp/L
Ending the video with. But do I really need more power? Is a like way of say until next time just leaves me wanting more
Is it highly recommended to run a recluse clutch on a 2stroke? I traded my sled for a bike and now I regret it. I’ve got a rm250 2stroke and would really enjoy trying it out. If I could find a relatively affordable conversion kit without having to dump 6 plus hundreds on a clutch then I’d definitely be in!! If you reply to comments, what is the absolute cheapest, and then which do u recommend for a budget build? Thanks a lot man, u made a great video.
250 will be limited with the lack of power, 4 stroke is actually a better setup on snow bikes in most cases. You could definitely find and older kit cheap, but the older kits are more weight, find a 2016 and up would be your best bet for the bang for your buck. Light weight but still relatively affordable especially used.
You dont need the newest technology to spank these old guys
Captain Caveman ungga bungga
I'll turbo mine if you turbo yours......2016 FE350S.
Hell it's even street legal........waaaay more fun in the summer hahaha
Next up the turbo busa snow bike.
@ 4:58 - I was gonna say, is this that guy's first time in the mountains ? STAY AWAY FROM TREE WELLS, FFS !!!
That is why I will never buy another Yurapeeon bike with no kick start, or a Yeti kit with all that nice carbon fiber to smash to pieces. But yes the turbo is a nice bit if you have lots of patience and like working on your bike in every snow bank.
When will a bike manufacturer built us a 500cc 2 stroke with a cvt transmission solely for snowbiking please!!!
Oy yes. The snowbikes of the short-term future will make these things look silly, and then nobody will want to buy snowmobiles any more. 5 years?
this video is 1 year old!
Nope
4 years old.😅
Tommy likely ..Tommy want turbo
Poor Tommy. Boondocker no longer makes turbos for snowbikes. WAH!
@@VernonSnowMX SHIT!!
Where to get the turbokit?
What's the deal with all of these guy's talking like the cookie monster
So it added 72 hp to a ~ 50hp motor? I call BS.
Yeah, I dunno how he came up with that number. It did rip though!
I call BS in this
Is DATS hiring??
I wouldn’t buy a bike that didn’t have option of kick start still with electric start on a bike like a 450 /500 it’s just so easy to kick start that it’s not worth it to be stuck out there with a cold dead battery without kick start ability
We have booster packs. Now we also have the benefit of over 100 rides. Kick starters are not needed. We always get home just fine.
27k annnnnnnnnd 30mph lmao. No thanks . Rather drive a slow spark waverunner in 5ft of chop with my nuts hanging down on the side of seat .
Good for you. The world really needed to hear some digital tears. You sound like a left twitter employee.
