The Xraycer sled is an innovative contraption, designed by German designer and adventure sport enthusiast Maximilan Kolb, that is designed for use in the summer. While it's all well and good riding sleds in the winter, there's a different kind of enjoyment to be had going sledding in the warm weather. This is where the Xraycer comes in.
This sled is described by Kolb as being the "ultimate mountain wheeler". Indeed with its unique blend of elements of winter sleds and mountain board components, this sled can be used on a variety of surfaces.
The Xraycer can be used by riders weighing up to 100 kg. It is probably best suited towards use on wide trails and dirt roads, but can also be used on pavement and a variety of other surfaces.
