The world of vehicle-manufacturers is divided in two different branches, depending by the philosophy that the designer adopts: Conformists and Innovators. Conformists bring an innovation only after others developed it, because they don't want spend more resources for innovation. On the contrary Innovators are always looking for new and better solutions, sometimes swimming against the tide, but always looking for a new idea to satisfy the customers needs. Our feeling is to belong to the second category, since we have a lot to tell about innovation. There are a lot of works that, until now, have been made with few success with traditional light-utility snowmobiles. Innovation means also to produce a new machine especially designed for these works. So when someone promises he can do the same, we just tell we do it better.
