When you’re out there shredding, nothing’s worse than losing traction. Attaining high speeds on your snowmobile can be a dangerous proposition without inadequate equipment. But when you also factor in worn down carbide runners and studs, making turns and stopping on a dime can be downright scary.

Conceptualized in the early 20th century to travel across deep snow, sleds connected people living in remote, wintery locations to utilities and supplies. As engineering improved and snowmobiles became more common in cold weather climates, new technology was created to help sleds move faster, more comfortably, over rougher terrain and varying conditions.  In the 60’s, brands like Bombardier and Polaris emerged, and the modern snowmobile was born.
