PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Facebook post just now. Testing out a new prototype snowmobile today. Seats 2 comfortably in leather captains chairs. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Heated seats, rear view mirrors, in-dash DVD player/touch screen, and tinted windows all come standard with the deluxe cold weather package.

Nith Valley Sledder Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The short and narrow track might make it a bit tough to take off any hard packed trail. Now the DVD and screen would be really nice when the scenery got boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was preceded by this concept Mirage II back in the 70s: http://www.vintagesnowmobiles.50megs.com/PP13232.html & this Elite: Used to see a sledder on Eels Lake back in the 90s in one. I seem to recall seeing a 2 seater east of Dorset back in the winter of '09. Not sure if it was the 1st gen Elite or the silver version. That was the only time I ever saw 1 out on the trails. https://snoriderswest.com/article/general/wheres_the_high_performance_side_by_side_snowmobiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This one has Razr seats, an oversized hot -rodded motor, Yamaha front end, custom clutching, and EPS. Surprised the heck out of me, and a LOT of other sledders who happen upon it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can feel a little tippy with the regular ski stance,if driven aggressively.That one would be sweet with the mods he has done.But they are like Canadian force helicopters,10 hrs in the shop for every hr riding.

Google enclosed/concept snowmobile & you get a lot of hits for it. Nobody remember the yellow 'doo I'm thinking of? I'm sure it had a similar track drive set up & a single ski up front.

Rich Saul Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Saw a alpine for sale the other day. Had a moment and drove on.... I guess I should have kept one of the fleet.. Edited December 16, 2019 by Rich Saul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On twin tracked Ski-Doo race sleds they had a clutch/ brake system that would release the inside track for turning left.Don't you think a modification like thatwould have served the Alpine well. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I'll be able to put heated grips on it and ride it beyond -10 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely just a computor generated pic. I don't see those skis ever getting much further than the trailer. Also - it appears to just be a single seater.

Googled it and came up with this link https://snoriderswest.com/article/general/top_10_concept_snowmobiles_pulled_from_cyberspace that shows the same pic plus some other wild-looking dream sleds.
