NICK ON THE BUILD

This build was inspired by Darren @Moto 365 utilizing the best and most user-friendly accessories available, I went with these options for utility and comfort. Heated bars foot pegs, plenty of storage for backcountry riding, this is my favorite type of build I’ve been doing for many years.

MOTO365 TAKE

Nick’s build is a clear example of setting up a snowbike for long backcountry days without unnecessary complexity. The MTN.TOP Transfer provides a versatile foundation, while the heated controls, snow pegs, suspension work, engine protection and layered storage address comfort, durability and range. The result is a practical North Idaho setup built around the details that matter once the trail disappears and the ride gets remote.
