The fourth-generation variant of this snow bike is equipped with an articulated system that makes it possible for the skis to move independently, allowing riders to handle [complex terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycultra) with greater versatility. However, the biggest upgrade that is evident in the Sno-Go Bike is the fact that its articulating mechanism is now made of a [special carbon fiber material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-frame) that transaltes to a weight saving in the region of 5.4 kg, giving it a total weight of only 12 kg. Available for a price of $2,499, the latest and greatest version of this snow bike offers improved handling, boosted nimbleness and all-round elevation in performance.
