ABOUT BOWDRIKS INDUSTRIES

A Family Business

Brothers Randall and Don Bowman of Lethbridge and Calgary, Alberta have a strong background in motor sports. Applying their knowledge and experience in power sports, The Bowman brothers went on to found Bowdriks Industries in 1990.

“We were into snowmobiles, dirt bikes, street bikes, cars, you name it!” says Randall. “We have always designed and engineered our own products and taken innovative ideas to the next level.”

Bowdriks Industries now operates product development and manufacturing out of Lethbridge, AB and Calgary, AB.

Leaders In Innovation

Bowdriks Industries was the first company to apply traction to the edge of the running boards of snowmobiles, which were originally called Traction Rails.

Eight years later Ski-Doo introduced their version of a traction product on the Summit. By this time, though, the brothers were leaps and bounds ahead and had developed the unique, and now widely used, Sno-Slip.

Recognized by Major Manufacturers

The major manufacturers tried to produce similar products, but fell short. It wasn’t until 1999 that Yamaha took an interest in the brothers and introduced Sno-Slips and Sno-Grips as “Genuine Yamaha Products”.

Working With The Manufacturers

Bowdriks Industries works directly with Yamaha in the development of Sno-Grips exclusively for The RX-1, Viper, and Mountain Max and is currently developing products for the 2004 Warrior!

Another Innovation

1997 saw the introduction of the industry’s best snowmobile tie-down, Superclamp. No other product comes close to Superclamp and the brothers have recently launched a Superclamp-Rear for the rear of the sled!

Bowdriks Industries takes pride in its history and looks forward to a strong future. There are several new and innovative products in the works that will once again change the industry and keep Bowdriks Industries at the top of the list.
