AD BOIVIN opens up the snow bike market with the Explorer
"The Explorer is the result of ten years of our SnowBike expertise," says president Denis Boivin. "It’s time for the powersports community to really discover the SnowBike Sport. All wners of Motocross, Enduro and Supermoto bikes have now the opportunity to discover this unique dimension to ride a bike on snow. This product also answers the many requests we have for an intermediate vehicle between the Junior series and the big bore 800cc," says Mr. Boivin.
This totally new and innovative All Terrain / All season system is a fully adjustable system that fits almost any brand of motocross, enduro and supermoto motorcycles. The TAS (Twin Axis Ski) is a copy of the extraordinary Snow Hawk ski. Its ability to stay on the ground while the bike is leaning gives increased stability on hard packed snow. Quick release pins allow the track to move from the front to the back of the bike within seconds.
The WTA (Weight Transfer Adjustment) will give total freedom to the rider by adjusting the track according to the riding conditions. This versatility is unequal in the industry. Another exclusive device on the Explorer is the TAA (Track Attack Angle). This adjustment is allowed by a slotted front ski adaptor, which permits to raise the front of the bike up to four inches. By adjusting the height, the attack angle of the track will vary and give an optimal traction in any conditions.
On top of being fully adjustable, light, all terrain and all season, the Explorer keeps the original parts of the motorcycle. By leaving the swing arm, the brake, the disk brake and the shock absorber in place, the Explorer is easy to install and adds an average of only 30 pounds to the original weight of the bike.
After the Snow Hawk and the ZX2 Composite Suspension, AD Boivin is once again coming up with a high quality, nicely designed and efficient product. Visit www.adboivin.com
