Adventure Sled

A kicksled built for dogs to pull. The newest design from ESLA in 2022 is the Adventure Sled. This sled is designed for Nordic mushing–running 1-2 dogs. 

The sporty new Adventure Sled combines elements of the traditional kicksled and the modern Kickspark MAX. The design by ESLA, in partnership with Kainpo, was intentionally made with Nordic mushing in mind. 

The frame is made of lightweight aluminum, has an adjustable driving handle and a low-riding birch seat that gives the sled a lower center of gravity. With a dog or two, this is a very fast sled that can maneuver well on winding routes. 

This is the first ESLA kicksled designed with suspension for shock absorption and a smoother turning radius. This new feature can be turned off and locked for the classic rigid frame feeling, too. Locking and unlocking the suspension can be done on-the-go and without tools. 

For transport, the Adventure Sled can be folded down and locked into the folding position for easy transport.

Kicksledding offers a wonderful way to experience winter - from gliding down frozen trails to skating on the runners across frozen ponds. The sleds offer stability in winter conditions, speed when you want it and are versatile enough to be used by all ages and abilities--from toddlers to athletes and elders.

Children must have adult supervision while kicksledding. Do not allow children to drive their kicksled in unsafe conditions. The sleds can pick up very high speed on downhills. The same goes for adults carrying precious cargo (babies/children) as passengers. We recommend stepping off the runners and walking the sled down steep, fast or icy downhills. We always recommend wearing reflective gear and a helmet while kicksledding. More on kicksled safety here.
