Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a spindle for a recreational vehicle, such as a snowmobile, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), or a side-by-side vehicle. The spindle includes a spine, optionally a front fin that extends from a front surface of the spine, and optionally a rear fin that extends from a back surface of the spine.

A snow vehicle is disclosed comprising a vehicle frame, a propulsion unit coupled to the frame, and a front ski steered by a steering mechanism. The front of the vehicle includes a first front suspension and a second front suspension coupled to the ski. The rear suspension includes a bumper assembly preventing bottoming out of the rear suspension. The rear suspension is coupled to the vehicle frame such that the longitudinal spacing between the vehicle frame and rear suspension is adjustably controllable.

A ski bike for gliding across a slick surface that dampens shock forces on skis and provides precise maneuverability on a slick surface is provided. The ski bike is configured to turn through either: a rotatable handle bar sub assembly, by shifting the weight of the rider, or through a carving technique involving digging the skis into snow and following the formed carved path to turn. The ski bike dampens shock forces on the skis through a dampener that absorbs shock forces from a front ski, a front shock pivot mount that that enables lateral pivoting to absorb lateral shock forces, and a swing arm tower that enables lateral pivoting of a pair of rear skis. A stomp plate provides stability by gripping footwear of a rider and enabling passage of moisture. A frame includes a lift bar that enables the ski bike to be lifted by ski lift.
