AMA Snow Bike Series To Award AMA National Championships
For The First Time

Snow bike racing has quickly become a popular discipline in motorcycle competition, gaining the attention of many well-known amateur and professional motorcycle racers, and getting its own event at the X-Games.

In 2017, the AMA sanctioned its first-ever snow bike series, with the help of R & R Productions, and experienced great success throughout the seven-round series.

As a result, in 2018 the AMA Snow Bike Series will be recognized as an AMA National Championship series and will award an AMA National No. 1 plate to the top finisher of each national class at the conclusion of the series.

Snow bikes swap out wheels and knobby tires for a front ski for steering, and a high-performance snowmobile-style track in the rear for traction. Riders compete on a motocross-inspired half-mile track of jumps, banks, right and left hand turns and whoops.

“We are excited to continue working with R & R Promotions to provide an AMA National Championship series for snow bike racers in 2018,” AMA Motocross Manager Ricky Rickords said. “The expansion of snow bike racing during the past year has been very promising, and we look forward to the continued growth and popularity of the sport in the future.”
