We have seen some pretty cool innovations in [water sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-jet-ski-yacht) and [personal motorized sporting devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eskimo), but this Kvant [motorcycle/snowmobile combination](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowmobile-lineups) is the most excellent personal cross country winter vehicle.

The Kvant concept vehicle essentially enhances personal transportation in snow conditions while maintaining style, performance and rugged toughness. What seems to look like an uncomfortable ride is actually quite easily mounted.

For marketing purposes, I think the designer could come up with a better name for it. How about *The CrossBreed Tempest*?
