Well, it turns out that there's a way of pressing it into service, even
once the snow has fallen – aside from swapping in studded tires, that
is. Timbersled's Mountain Horse kit replaces a motorbike's front wheel
with a ski, and its rear wheel with a snowmobile-like track.
Quite similar in concept to the
Snoxcycle,
the Mountain Horse can reportedly be mounted on a wide variety of dirt
bike makes and models, as long as the buyer makes sure to get a
properly-spec'd kit. With the exception of the KTM 690, no modifications
to the bike are required, and all the components can be simply bolted
into place.
There are three versions of the kit, depending on the intended use.
