Ruffian Snowbikes: A New Weapon for the Backcountry
You’ve heard it a thousand times on the mountain: “Don’t follow me.”
But what if a snowbike could flip that script?
Imagine a machine light enough to dance through the trees, fierce enough to claw up vertical lines, and tough enough to punch into zones where even long-track sleds tap out.
That’s exactly what Derek Corey, founder of Ruffian Snowbikes, set out to build. After years of breaking, tweaking, and rebuilding more than 30 prototypes, Ruffian is finally stepping into the spotlight with a bike that just might redraw the map of the backcountry.
“We weren’t in a rush. I wanted Ruffian to be something you could trust – engineered to the same level as the big four.”
– Derek Corey, Owner of Ruffian Snowbikes
SPECS THAT MATTER
Forget fluff. Here’s what top-tier riders want to know:
Corey knows the score. The snowmobile industry is stacked against newcomers. But Ruffian isn’t playing the short game.
“SOME COMPANIES MOVE TOO FAST,” COREY SAYS.
“THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US, BUT RUFFIAN ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE.”
THAT STUBBORNNESS MIGHT JUST BE RUFFIAN’S EDGE.
Top riders don’t care about hype. They care about whether a machine can climb higher, sidehill cleaner, and take the abuse the backcountry dishes out. Ruffian Snowbikes is stepping up to prove it can.
So the next time you hear “Don’t follow me”, don’t be surprised if the rider up front is on a Ruffian and you find yourself wishing you had one, too.
