Re: Bike for the snow??
 

S4 works fine for me, but then a great deal depends on who and how it's ridden, like all things practise makes perfect.

Cheers Mark.

Re: Bike for the snow??
 

Best thing I've ridden in the snow was a TS50ER, 50mph flat out (which was more than plenty), off-road nobblies, no power, crap drum brakes (so hard to lock up and nothing to get jammed up) and a *very* low seat height[1]. I had a hoot on it.

[1] Modern off-roaders are all stupidly tall, great if you're 16ft tall or riding it 110% off-road with berms etc, sh*te if you're normal and wanting to lean it just a smidge.

The tyres make an incredible difference. anything light with low seat would be OK with nobblies on. Been out mountainbiking in the local nature reserve and you can get through even the really thick stuff. Pleanty of traction so long as you keep in a high enough gear so the wheel doesn't spin. Probably a little 50 or 125 as FD says. something old a crap preferable so you can drop it with no worries.
