BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY
Pick a Line - Make It Yours.
From untouched powder to steep climbs and technical sidehills, the R-120 Pro is designed to feel lighter, more planted, and easier to place.
Control Refined
A lighter 62.8 kg system, lower rear geometry, and wider front ski work together to deliver quicker response and a more planted feel across technical snow.
Engineered as One
From the 65 mm track lugs and tighter pitch to the dual-adjustable NIBBI suspension, every component is engineered to work as part of one balanced system.
Innovation with Purpose
The R-120 Pro advances the snow bike platform through meaningful changes in weight, geometry, traction, and flotation—because real innovation should be felt in every ride.
Engineered to Own the Backcountry.
Built for riders who go beyond the groomed trail, the Vanguard R-120 Pro is a fully optimized snow bike conversion system. From deep powder and steep climbs to carving and technical sidehills, every element has been refined to deliver more responsive handling, improved flotation, and a more planted, confidence-inspiring ride.

LIGHTNESS & REENGINEERED
Command Every Line
With total system weight reduced to 62.8 kg, the R-120 Pro carries less mass through every maneuver. The lighter design helps it respond more readily through turns, sidehills, and quick transitions - making the bike easier to place with less rider effort.
More Float Up Front
310 MM FRONT SKI
Front ski width grows from 290 to 310 mm. The added surface area is designed to help the nose ride higher in soft powder and provide clearer steering feedback when breaking trail or changing lines.
Taller Lugs - Deeper Bite
65 MM LUGS · 30% TALLER
Lug height increases from 50 to 65 mm while pitch tightens from 73 to 62 mm. The combination is designed to reach deeper into soft snow, maintain more consistent engagement, and help reduce wasted spin under throttle.
REBOUND & COMPRESSION ADJUSTABLE
Dial In Every Ride
Dual-adjustable NIBBI rear shocks let riders fine-tune rebound and compression for changing snow conditions, terrain, and riding styles. With 85 mm of rear travel, the suspension helps deliver controlled response and consistent track contact across bumps, climbs, and technical lines.

RIDER SUPPORT
Questions Before You Ride?
Start with the essentials, then contact us for model-specific fitment and setup guidance.
What changed from the Vanguard R-120 Pro?
The R-120 Pro uses 65 mm track lugs and a tighter 62 mm pitch, weighs 2.8 kg less overall, adds a longer and lower rear module, and widens the front ski by 20 mm. The NIBBI brake and dual-adjustable shocks are retained.
What terrain is the R-120 Pro designed for?
It focuses on deep powder, steep climbs, carving, and technical sidehills. Actual performance varies with snow conditions, motorcycle setup, load, and rider experience.
Do the taller lugs affect track durability?
The 65 mm lugs and tighter 62 mm pitch are designed as one system. Track life still depends on correct tension, alignment, inspection, maintenance, and operation within the conditions specified in the product manual.
Is professional installation recommended?
Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with snow bike conversions. Always follow the official installation guide, torque specifications, alignment procedure, and pre-ride checklist.
What should I inspect before each ride?
Check track tension and alignment, brake operation, chain condition, shock settings, fasteners, and snow or ice buildup. Follow the maintenance intervals in the official manual.
What motorcycles are compatible with the Vanguard R-120 Pro?
The R-120 Pro is designed for four-stroke off-road motorcycles with an engine displacement of 250 cc or above. Final fitment may vary by make, model, year, and chassis configuration, so please contact NIBBI to confirm compatibility.
Can I purchase the R-120 Pro directly?
The Vanguard R-120 Pro is not currently available for individual retail purchase. Dealers and distributors interested in carrying the product are welcome to contact the NIBBI team for pricing, availability, and partnership information.
