Check out our How to ride a SkiBike page regardless if you are going to take a lesson or not. The short answer is yes, you can teach yourself how to ride, and yes, you are better off taking a lesson. Confused?  Let us clarify.  Is it possible to teach yourself?  Yes, it is.  With that

We hear this a lot:  “I’m a big mountain biker…”  “On my mountain bike I…”  “My mountain bike is size….” Let’s be blunt.  You cannot compare the size of your mountain bike (MTB) to the size of a skibike.  The geometry is completely different.  The functionality is completely different.  How you ride them is different. 

The Launch is our “flagship” skibike; it is still made 100% in-house by Devin himself, and it’s the bike that helped skibiking become what it is today.  The Recon is made over seas but is painted and assembled in house.  However, we want to make it very clear that just because the Recon is made

Let’s answer the second question first.  Is one method of transporting your skibike better than the other methods?  The short answer is no.  It is going to depend on the type of vehicle you are using. Now for the first question…how do I get this thing up to the mountain?  As just stated, it is

This is personal preference.  The BMX bar will allow you to stand more upright whereas the Dirt Jumper (DJ) will sit lower and naturally get your body weight more forward.  In skibiking we need our weight forward over the front ski for several reasons, and some have found that by using the lower DJ bar,

The weight of our bikes will vary slightly depending on the model, size and build options.  The following weights are for stock builds** on our Recon and Sortie skibikes with and without the stock Conniption Styx skis. WITHOUT SKIS WITH STOCK CONNIPTION STYX SKIS WITH UPGRADED RIFF RAFF SKIS WITH UPGRADED ZIG ZAG SKIS RECON

Without getting in to details, the fixed pegs make for more solid, consistent handling of the bike.  If your feet are always in the same position, you can dial in your riding without sacrificing anything. That, and if you have ever been mountain biking and have a foot come off the pedal at the most

There are a few differences between the stock and upgraded ski. A short comparison: Stock Conniption Styx: Best for beginners; great all-resort ski we offer; both skis are the same length; regular side cut (not a continuous side cut); narrowest ski we offer; can be ridden out of the box without being tuned. Upgraded Riff

Both of our upgraded skis, the Riff Raff and the Zig Zag, have a continuous side cut.  What does that mean?  It means that if you put the front and rear ski in a straight line, tip to tail, one uniform arc is formed (as opposed to each ski forming its own arc).  We can

Please refer to our How to Tune Skibike Skis page for detailed tuning instructions. Some people are more meticulous with keeping their skis tuned and waxed than others.  If you are not one of those people or are new to the whole ski thing, we hope that this guideline will help.
