Closed-Cabin Skidoos

This Snowmobile by Michal Bonikowski Increases Speed and Comfort

— August 7, 2012 — Autos
Feeling the wind on your face as you speed across beautifully vast landscapes is a sublime experience -- when it isn't 30 degrees below zero. This Snowmobile by Michal Bonikowski is the sort of automobile that you'll prefer to drive in those extremely cold conditions. It offers you the unconventional protection of a fully enclosed cockpit.

The sharp look of the impressive snowscape vehicle seems modeled on a shard of ice, sculpted with a severe streamlined slant to reduce air resistance. It's painted in a glossy white and installed with subtly curving windows and a broad windshield for an expansive view of one's surroundings. Brilliant headlights and rear-view mirrors improve the visibility of the closed cabin and the Snowmobile by Michal Bonikowski would be sent at great speeds on its fore sleigh rails and its rear track drive wheels.
Trend Themes
1. Enclosed Snowmobiles - The rise of enclosed snowmobiles with fully enclosed cockpits for extreme weather conditions like Michal Bonikowski's design.
2. Streamlined Snowmobiles - Sleek, streamlined snowmobile designs to reduce air resistance and improve speed and mobility.
3. Integrated Snowmobile Design - Snowmobiles with built-in safety features like headlights and rear-view mirrors, and integrated track drive wheels for better maneuverability.
Industry Implications
1. Winter Sports Industry - Innovation opportunities for winter sports companies to invest in fully-enclosed snowmobiles for extreme weather conditions.
2. Snowmobile Manufacturing Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunities to create streamlined snowmobile designs and implement integrated safety features.
3. Tourism Industry - Opportunities to attract off-road enthusiasts with new and innovative snowmobile designs that improve speed, mobility, and safety in extreme weather conditions.
