Snowbike Builds, Installation, Maintenance & Repair
From choosing the right motorcycle and conversion kit to installation, seasonal maintenance, repairs and upgrades, Moto365 helps keep your snowbike properly set up and ready to ride.
Every rider, bike and riding area is different. We provide practical recommendations based on years of building, maintaining and riding snowbikes—not a preset package filled with parts you may not need.

Complete Custom Snowbike Builds
Moto365 can handle the entire build process, from helping locate the right motorcycle and choosing a conversion kit to installation, accessories, setup and final inspection.
Each build is tailored around the rider’s experience, terrain, riding style and budget. We can keep it simple and reliable or put together a fully customized machine with performance, comfort and finishing upgrades.

Snowbike Maintenance & Seasonal Service
Snowbikes operate in demanding conditions. Snow, moisture, ice, vibration and repeated loading can expose small issues before they become obvious on the trail.
Moto365 can provide preseason, midseason and post-season service to help keep your setup dependable.
A preseason inspection is especially valuable for bikes that have been stored, recently purchased or transferred to a different kit.

Repairs & Troubleshooting
Things occasionally break, loosen, wear out or simply stop working the way they should. Moto365 can help diagnose snowbike problems and determine the most practical repair.
We work directly with our customers and manufacturers to resolve problems
whenever possible. Our involvement does not end when the kit leaves the shop.

Performance, Comfort & Reliability Upgrades
A snowbike does not need every available accessory, but a few carefully chosen upgrades can make a substantial difference in reliability, comfort and performance.
We help prioritize the upgrades that make sense for your bike and riding
instead of recommending parts simply because they are available.

Setup, Adjustments & Ongoing Support
A snowbike may need adjustment after the first few rides, especially following a new installation, kit transfer or major component change.
Where practical, on-snow evaluation or setup support can also help identify issues that may not be obvious in the shop.

The Big Nick
Nick is—well, big. That’s why we call him Big Nick (we’re creative like that). Building his setup took a few extra parts, a sprinkle of engineering magic, and maybe a prayer or two to the SnowBike Gods to handle his extra largeness and his “ride it like you stole it” style.

MUTHAFUKNSNOWDAY
When your average snow day just doesn’t cut it—you need a MUTHAFUKNSNOWDAY.
This build will always hold a special place for me. We’re based out of Idaho, but the owner of this beast lives all the way in Pennsylvania. He found us through social media, looking for a truly unique, high-quality setup. After some solid back-and-forth, we tracked down the right bike and got to work.
The build list is similar to the ones above, but with a few custom touches to make this GasGas really shine—including a fully custom chrome graphic kit that sets it off just right.
450 / 300
-
Ah yes, the KTM 450. The industry workhorse. The snowbike gold standard. The one setup that’s nearly impossible to mess up. Pair it with a Mountain Top kit and you’ve got yourself a snow-slaying machine that’s built to rip, climb, and show your buddies who's boss.
This bike has lived its life as our test mule. We threw all kinds of parts at it—some winners, some... well, let’s just say they’re not making the highlight reel. From ecu tuning to suspension tweaks to airflow experiments that would make a NASA engineer proud, this bike has seen it all. And by the end of the season, we had it running like an absolute dream. No hiccups, no quirks—just pure, reliable performance.
Want a bike that starts when it should, climbs like a goat on Red Bull, and absolutely dominates? This is it. If you’re looking to roast your riding crew on the hill and still make it home in time for tacos—look no further.
-
We wanted to see how the KTM 300 TBI would hold up against the tried-and-true beast that is the KTM 450—and let’s just say, the 300 came out swinging. Total sleeper hit of the season!
If you’re all about big mountain missions and neck-deep powder, this probably isn’t your ultimate weapon. But if you like to whip it around and cause some chaos when the snow is set up? This thing is a straight-up riot.
Now, there was a bit of a learning curve. That slick-looking engine jacket? Yeah… don’t waste your time. Turns out, you don’t need it. The stock tune? Meh—it’s fine, but once you throw on some aftermarket love, it really comes alive. The in-line thermostat from C3 is a slick upgrade, and yes, heated bars do make life on a 2-stroke surprisingly cozy.
CMX / MtnTop
-
This year, we decided to shake things up.
To give our customers more options—and keep things as fair and unbiased as possible—we brought CMX into the mix and put together a true head-to-head showdown. Two identical Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar Edition builds. Same setup. Same conditions. One big question: which one rules the mountain?
Bike 1: 2026 CMX Dominator
Bike 2: 2026 Mtn Top Transfer
Tracks: Both running the 3.25 x 126” Mtn Top track
From there, we stacked both bikes with all the good stuff—C3, Trail Tech, SXS, plus a handful of our own custom touches—to make sure each machine could handle everything the mountain throws at it.
And make no mistake… these bikes have very different personalities.
-
The CMX is an absolute riot. This thing is as rowdy as it gets—it’ll go anywhere you point it, as long as you’re cool doing it with the ski in the air. It begs to be ridden hard.
The suspension shines when you’re aggressive and on the throttle. Stay active, stay loose, and it rewards you. Sit down and try to cruise through the bumps? Yeah… it might remind you who’s in charge.
-
The Mtn Top is the workhorse of the pair. Calm, confident, and incredibly capable, it’ll take you anywhere with ease.
Its suspension is soft and compliant, soaking up terrain without drama. It stays light on the ski, but never feels sketchy or out of control—just predictable, planted, and ready to keep climbing.
