2023 Timbersled Aro3 Gen2 Review & Ride

IT'S STILL AN ARO... BUT IT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE! Thank you Greg @ Motofrugals for hooking me up to ride this bike and review it. https://www.motofrugals.com//
BOTTOM LINE: It's still an Aro - it's just a really good one! Aro's are amazing climbers and for the person who doesn't want to fight the front end from being off the ground so much. Some people like that, some don't. I love my Riot still and hopefully Timbersled will incorporate some of these changes in the '24 Riot lineup. See below for many good snowbike links
