New Sure Grip Dollies

Minnesota-based Recreational Necessities has successfully solved snowmobile mobility challenges for 15 years with its true all-season, versatile and durable Sure Grip Dollies. They work like a wheel kit, allowing snowmobiles to be easily driven under their own power, even on grass and gravel roads. And with the aid of the swivel track dolly you can effortlessly roll a sled by hand.

Sure Grip Dollies also eliminate the damage from carbides gouging the garage floor, driveway, trailer bed and your lawn.

New this year on the Sure Grip Dollies are: a modified wheel design with more durable ribbed reinforced center hub; thicker shock absorbing center wheel core, which delivers superior shock protection from trailer ramps and sudden impact; and wider tread width for a larger footprint on soft terrain.

The new Sure Grip wheel enhances the range of your drivable possibility and meets the demands of authorities such as the U.S. Marine Corp., National Resources Canada, U.S. Border Patrol and many others. The product is backed by a full warranty and is made with pride in America

Sure Grip Dollies retail for $99.99

Rox Height Adjustable Handlebar Risers

The Rox patent-pending Adjustable Handlebar Risers feature independent left and right risers that adapt to any T-stem width, making them very universal and usable on different makes and models. The adaptability takes the guesswork out of deciding how high you want your handlebars while providing you the option of fitting one sled to multiple riders.

The handlebar height can be adjusted for different conditions and riding techniques; lower for sit-down trail riding and river racing, higher for stand-up ditch banging and backcountry boondocking. The handlebars can be lowered for easier fitment of sled cover when trailering as well. There are two adjustable heights to chose from, 4-6 inches and 6-8.25 inches.

Rox Elite Series risers feature a location locking adapter that allow you to clamp standard 7/8- or 1 1/8-inch taper bars. The riser features a premium anodized finish.

You should note that an extended throttle cable and brake line may be required to accommodate taller risers. Always check that you have adequate length before installing risers and operating vehicle.

All New Mountain Horse Snowbike Conversion Kit

Timbersled Products has released the Mountain Horse Snowbike Conversion Kit. It is the first dirt bike conversion kit that is designed for the mountains and deep snow conditions. It was built to resemble the general layout of a snowmobile. It works extremely well in deep snow conditions and is very forgiving on all types of terrain.

The system does not use a traditional mono shock design back suspension that a dirt bike has. The kit uses Timbersled's unique Mtn. Tamer rear suspension system and a 121x12.25x1.75-inch Camoplast Challenger track that forms a 20-degree approach angle to the snow in the front.

The backbone of the assembly is a uniquely designed tubular sub-frame that is extremely strong and lightweight.

The tunnel is a three-piece assembly that bolts to the sub-frame; it mounts the back suspension and drive system.

In the drive system a chain runs from the motor to a secondary jackshaft and the jackshaft transfers to outside of the tunnel.

The system is simple to install. It takes about 1.5 hours to switch the bike back and forth from dirt to snow or vice-versa. Kits are available for most model bikes that are 250cc and larger including: Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husaburg, Husqvarna. The retail price is $5,000.

Split Rail Dual Axis Snowmobile Skis

A snowmobile ski's ability to constantly stay in contact with the trail by conforming to changes in terrain ultimately increases the control and performance of the snowmobile. Split Rail Skis excel beyond current day ski designs due to its patented center-less ski design and "Dual Axis Technology."

1st Axis - Split Rail Ski has two low profile keels that permit the two rails of the ski to flex from the front of the ski to the rear of the ski. Flexing of the ski eliminates bridging of any divots or potholes in the trail and allows the ski to conform to the terrain. The two carbides on the ski together with the four sharp sidewall edges remain in contact and carve the snow.

2nd Axis - Split Rail Ski has two rails that flex independently of each other and pivot on the axis side to side. When the ski enters a divot or pothole in the trail, both rails at the rear of the ski vertically self-adjust to conform to the contour of the terrain and carve the snow.

Unlike solid center skis which begin to lose contact with the surface as snow pressure builds, Split Rails center-less design regulates optimum snow pressure to its four sharp sidewall edges.
