Timbersled Continues to Revolutionize the Snow Bike Industry with the All-New 2020 Timbersled® Lineup

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Since 2011, Timbersled® has been revolutionizing the snow
bike industry. The new model year 2020 Timbersled systems demonstrate
industry leadership with the introduction of the new 2020 Timbersled
RIOT, the industry’s first 3” track through the introduction of
Timbersled ARO™ 3, and performance-enhancing improvements on the
Timbersled ARO 129 and 137.


The new 2020 Timbersled RIOT and ARO 3 represent the commitment to
innovation and relentless pursuit of the ultimate riding experience.
With a lineup that provides solutions for all riders in all conditions
and the most comprehensive dealer network in North America, Timbersled
continues to lead the way in this rapidly growing sport.

Timbersled RIOT: A Riot In All Snow Conditions

Have a RIOT anywhere you go

The new Timbersled RIOT combines proven Timbersled ARO technology with a
RIOT specific patent-pending rear suspension to create the ultimate dirt
bike experience in all snow conditions. RIOT was born to wheelie, climb
or make a split-second line change. It’s a RIOT wherever your ride takes
you.

The RIOT has a single-arm rear suspension, dual shocks, and lightweight
new suspension rails. The RIOT’s suspension is precision-tuned
specifically for dirt bike like handling characteristics.

Up front, the RIOT has the proven, durable Timbersled Spindle, designed
for the easiest bolt-on installation with no drilling. The Timbersled
RIOT Traverse Ski has a new Deuce Bar center skag to eliminate drag and
provide confidence-inspiring control.

There are two Timbersled RIOT models available for 2020, the Timbersled
RIOT and Timbersled RIOT LE, which has FOX® ZERO QS3 shocks.
These adjustable shocks are tuned to maximize the RIOT’s wheelie and ski
pressure control and optimize its nimble handling characteristics.

The new Timbersled RIOT follows the same quick and easy ARO installation
process. All ARO Install Kits and components are compatible with the new
Timbersled RIOT.

Timbersled® ARO 3: Deep
Powder Dominance

Climb the highest mountains in the deepest snow with the industry’s
first 3” track. The NEW Timbersled ARO 3 provides ultimate performance
in deep snow while maintaining ARO’s precise handling and performance.

The new Timbersled 3” Traverse Track provides deep snow performance with
increased floatation and traction. The paddles have 25 percent more
traction surface than the 129 x 11.5 x 2.5 Traverse Track. Each paddle
location, shape and stiffness are based on deep snow dominance and side
hill precision. It also features stiffer outer edge towers for side
hilling and firm snow bite.

The Timbersled ARO 3 track belt is also a port-less design, which means
there is more track belt surface area, giving it more flotation and lift
on those bottomless days.

To handle Timbersled ARO 3’s traction and to lessen rolling resistance,
the new ARO 3 features all-new efficient anti-ratchet drivers. These all
new drivers are designed to match the increased traction of the new 3”
paddles to deliver maximum power to the snow.

The Timbersled ARO rear suspension geometry has been upgraded for 2020
with an optimized approach angle for increased lift in deep snow and a
lighter ski feel.

The Timbersled ARO 3 is available in Titanium Silver with premium FOX
ZERO QS3 shocks for 2020. The QS3 shocks come standard for optimal
performance.

2020 Timbersled® ARO
Updates

The Timbersled commitment to innovation and delivering the best riding
experience have led to several improvements across the 2020 model line.
These updates enhance overall performance, while maintaining
Timbersled’s industry-leading durability.

New for 2020 is a reduced approach angle that produces lighter steering,
easier carving, and improved lift. This new backcountry geometry
improves the snow bike’s overall capability to deliver improved
performance.

There are new lightweight driveline sprockets that create less rotating
mass and more efficient performance, the result is more power delivered
to the track without compromising durability.

The new molded brake cover has a sleek design, minimizes snow build-up
and it is speed sensor ready, an industry exclusive, that allows the
rider to easily add a gauge to track speed and mileage.
