Backcountry Snowbike Tours

What is a snowbike? – A Dirt Bike on Snow! A Snowbike is a off road motorcycle with the wheels removed and replaced by attaching a front ski and rear caterpillar track. Niseko Snowbike Adventures uses snowbike conversion kits from Snow Yeti MX mounted to the leading brands of 2026 Competition Specification 450cc Motocross Bikes.

“A completely new experience using skills you already have, spend the day riding challenging backcountry terrain.”

Ideally suited for Intermediate to advanced on-road or off-road motorcycle riders whose skills are directly transferable to riding a snowbike with about 15-30mins of practice. This allows guides to quickly gain confidence in each riders ability to access challenging terrian for a true backcountry experience. All tours operate from our Kanbetsu base, 15 minutes north east of Hirafu, riding the Yamanashi range, elevation is between 500m -1300m. Mid winter tours usually ride within a 40km2 area from the base, spring tours can range significantly further. Tour Details
