The design is now ready: orange and black, as a tribute to the Ockelbo snowmobiles. This will be what SnoWolverine’s future Swedish snowmobiles will look like.

Different, I can't go the the site over here to read up on it some more but I'll check it out when I get back.
What is the MSRP on it and who makes the engine in that beast?

You can book a test ride, in Sweden, would be fun to see how it handled.

OK, someone correct me here.

It says the track is 109 CM, I assume that is centimeter, 109 CM = 42.9 inches ??

No I think your right john, that is a very wide track.

42" inches wide? Seems a bit wide to me....could you imagine straddling that!!! I'm long legged, but not bow legged!!!

I don't think anyone makes a track that wide, its probably a typo on the web site. LOL

Thats what I was thinking too. Looking at the pictures, it doesnt look any wider that any other sled.

Got to be a typo, looking at the guy sitting on it there's just no way it's 42" course if it was that would be one hel- of a trail breaker :) Take a mile wide flat to turn it though.
