💥 Introducing C3 NXT ENGINE SKINS!! 💥 Better late than never! We took our time to assess and test the engine covers available on the market, and if there was one we loved, we would have distributed it. Instead, we formulated a totally different approach and were able to design an awesome new system that we’re confident you’ll agree is the top choice for your snowbike build!
Highlights:
- Form-fitting press-molded EVA foam & leather shells connected by neoprene+vinyl panels
- Fits like a “skin” to encase your engine PERFECTLY with NO GAP, meaning your engine heat is kept in the engine, not lost to the atmosphere or snow contact
- Best overall heat-retention available – check the “Science” tab for a breakdown
- Weight: 1 lb – starts light, and…
- Does not create a “cavern” for snow to collect in – STAYS light!
- Considering product weight and snow accumulation weight, NXT Engine Skins can offer a 20+ pound weight savings compared to some competitors, which on a 300+ pound machine with 55 HP, represents the same power-to-weight benefit as adding 2-3 HP! – check the “Science” tab for a breakdown
- Most compact overall envelope possible – zero impact to ergonomics, and a substantial reduction in snow drag compared to some competitors (snoerodynamic?)
- Perfect from December til June – unlike most other options, airflow through rads is unimpeded, so elevated overheating risk is essentially eliminated, without worrying about taking it off partway through the day or carrying extra panels or adding extra coolers
- Installation: 5 MINUTES (two flaps, one zipper, one hook!)
- Easy to live with – simple oil changes, and easy to keep an eye things on-hill (sight glass access preserved)
- Looks are subjective, but wouldn’t you say it’s the sleekest, leanest, and most NON-pregnant aesthetic out there?
>> Highly recommended to be used with a skidplate – in fact, skidplate should be considered MANDATORY on 2014-22 Yamaha models and 2016-22 KTM/Husky/GASGAS models
>> Highly recommended to be used with C3 Thermostat– other brands’ thermostats have bypass designs that are not optimized for snowbiking (in our opinion). This is especially influential with NXT Engine Skins since airflow through the rads is not physically blocked off. For best performance, use C3 thermostat.
