| The core of the North Legion SMX is the suspended parallel motion frame that allows you to do perfect carving turns, both in sitting and standing position. By using three carving skies with steel edges the SMX achieves unique turning abilities in groomed slopes as well as in the back country. As an added bonus, you can really go charging in the halfpipe. Airs and tricks
With full suspension and the stability of the 3-ski-design you can really go hard on big jumps and in the halfpipe. Foot pegs attached to the parallel motion frame makes it possible to control the SMX in the air and allows execution of tricks when standing. The emergency stop function is another new invention, and it has been designed to facilitate execution of various fmx and bmx tricks. The ski design also allows for fakie (backward) turns and landings. Safe and easy transport in skilifts
The smx’s frame design and a lift transportation device make transport in different types of ski lifts safer and more convenient than with any existing snowbikes or snowracers. It’s easy to handle without removing your gloves on cold days. A special lift transport device has been developed for use with button and t-bar lifts. The device is easy to attach and detach, and will automatically release if the rider looses control or falls off. In combination with the emergency stop function this solution gives perfect safety. The frame has been designed to fit perfectly with a variety of chairlifts, and a quick safety device can be attached to the safety bar.
Stopping and safety
The 3-ski-design gives enormous stability, and testing has revealed that the North Legion SMX requires shorter distance to make a full stop compared with a snowboard at various speeds. With an SMX, you stop the same way you do with alpine skis. If the rider looses control going down the slope, the emergency stop function will be activated and should prevent that the SMX races away from you. www.northlegion.com You can test the SMX at the Take Off Center at Patscheider Sport.
