New Timbersled™ ARO™
Platform
A Timbersled system converts a dirt bike into a snow
bike that rides on a ski up front and a track in the rear. The system
lets a rider use that favorite dirt bike year-round, exploring winter’s
snow-covered terrain – on hard-pack as well as in deep, ungroomed snow.
For 2018, Timbersled is elevating the ride experience yet again with the all-new Timbersled ARO platform. This innovative system provides the ultimate in performance and handling, while changing the game in ease of installation. The new ARO system platform is 11 lbs. lighter, and features an all-new aluminum chassis, rear suspension, track, and ski that combine to give riders industry-leading handling, the easiest convertibility and is still Timbersled tough.
