Built for winter

The cockpit includes C3 bar risers and a riser fit kit, C3 NXT handguards, an aftermarket start/stop switch, and a Trail Tech TTO temperature gauge. A C3 light and wiring harness with a relay round out the electrical additions.

Engine and suspension

The engine package includes an Airforce velocity stack, an AIM ECU with C3 mountain mapping and a barometric pressure sensor, and an RP Race exhaust with an SXS pipe guard. Steel engine case bushings and an OEM skid plate are also part of the build.

Up front, Richard’s FC450 runs RG3 snowbike-specific fork valving with a spring conversion. C3 footpegs complete the rider-contact upgrades.

Track kit and finishing details

The 2026 MtnTop Transfer is fitted with MtnTop rail idler wheels. A MtnTop universal gas can mount carries a Mtn Addiction 3.3-gallon jug, and a custom wrap by Dynamic Designs ties the bike and kit together.
