“Dashing through the snow, in a high performance sled…”

…alright, before we get carried away with an alternate rendition of the popular Christmas song “Jingle Bells” (which also happens to be the first song broadcast from space), we shall introduce you to the Snolo Sleds Stealth-X. It took Snolo Sleds six years of market research, prototyping and testing to develop the Stealth-X. Unlike its wooden contemporaries, this carbon fibre high performance sled can be used on both hard compact snow and soft powdered snow. Plus, we have to admit, it looks cool.

The Stealth-X is certainly not just a mere child’s toy either. In fact, we would not recommend it for kids. This sled is designed and built for adults looking for some serious fun. It has a seating position that makes you feel like you are sitting in a race car and early test runs on an average gradient slop showed that the sled is capable of hitting speeds in access of 65km/h. Moreover, it also allows for steering much like a snowboard where you use you feet and body positioning to manoeuvre or stop it. The Stealth-X can be carried like a backpack, so you won’t have any issues with portability.
