The racy lines and the stunning design are the fruit of the best Italian tradition and passion that manifests itself in cars, motorbikes, and everything pleasing to the eye.

The longer, contoured, two-level seat offers the driver and passenger a natural position for long trips. Driving comfort is assured by the seating position and the adjustable heated grips and the heated seat. Protection from wind and cold is provided by a large windshield and by the body side wings and you will enjoy the heating vents that will keep you warm with a hot air stream.

The engine and transmission quietness, smoothness, and absence of vibrations will pleasantly surprise you. The exhaust? Exceptionally clean… and directed rearward between the tracks, to the rear of the unit. You will appreciate the progressive steering that is precise and effective in every snow condition, while the exclusive nitrogen gas filled front and rear suspensions provide comfort that will make you forget you are sitting on a utility vehicle.

After a quick look over the complete and comprehensive digital instrument panel and your hand over the transmission shift lever, you are ready to start your working day. All the controls are at your fingertips, the handlebar switches are derived from the Sherpa series. The LED daylight lamp located on the “nose” of the Superclass 1.2L VVT 12-valve is always on and a dual halogen head-light can light up your working area in the darkness. But don’t get deceived by so much refinement and comfort; it conceals a strong and pure work-horse underneath.

Take a look at the incredible features of the new SUPERCLASS 1.2L VVT 12V!

There’s nothing to compare with the Superclass 1.2L VVT 12-valve. Open the hood, it lifts by itself thanks to the gas spring strut, and you will discover a 100% brand new technology.

The 1.2 Litre, 3-cylinder 4-stroke engine, with an incredible flat-curve torque from the low-end to the high-end, is the ideal power-train for the Superclass. This is achieved thanks to the 12-valves with Variable Valve Timing working in conjunction with the state-of-the-art engine management computer. Smooth running and with good fuel economy, the engine is complete with catalytic converter and dual oxygen sensors in conformity to Euro-5 road emissions. With a huge radiator and fitted with a powerful two-speed electric fan, the cooling system can handle any condition.

The twist-grip control communicates (fly by wire) to the intelligent throttle the requested power, while the automatic transmission self-adapts to the load condition, no matter if you are pulling a huge load or if you just want to dart out into the powder. The new generation transmission, with Hi-Lo ranges, plus Neutral and Reverse, has a smooth and precise shifting. Designed for maximum strength, with an all gear powertrain (chain-less), it is the only snowmobile transmission with pressure lubrication via a mechanical pump.

Thanks to the low-inertia of the powertrain, the Superclass 1.2L VVT 12-valve boasts a greater acceleration. The oversized brake disc rotor is controlled by powerful hydraulic and mechanical calipers, derived from the Sherpa series; even on the steepest slopes, full control is assured. The well-balanced output drive-shafts spin noiselessly and without vibrations. In addition to the high comfort offered by the special nitrogen gas cartridge mono-shock absorbers, the new exclusive Alpina Track Suspension 3, introduces a new feature unknown on any other existing snowmobile; that is the track’s variable angle of attack. Thanks to this innovation, the suspension self-adapts to any type of snow and surface, always offering the optimum traction and control. And all this abundance of technology is built into the new revolutionary steel frame designed for the Superclass 1.2L VVT 12-valve, featuring a reduced weight and an incredible torsional strength.

THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR YOUR JOB

You may or may not be satisfied with your previous experience on other snowmobiles. In any case, if you are switching to a new Superclass you are going to discover a whole new world, and an easier way to work.

Like a Swiss Army Knife, the Superclass has everything to satisfy your work needs. The “nose” is equipped with brackets for the installation of a winch and a brush guard. The frame is already equipped with wires from the engine compartment to the tail, ready for extra work-lights and groomers. As an option, the Superclass can be equipped with the Alpina ADCN system that, from a keyboard on the hand-bar, the driver can control a groomer with up to 3 actuators, and 4 more outputs to control separately work-lights, flasher beacon, siren, etc. All through 3-only wires! The large rear cargo area has removable rails and can be easily transformed into a flatbed cargo platform to accommodate every type of load. The rear end is equipped with: standard pintle hitch, 2” receiver. As an option, it can also be fitted with a removable ball hitch and up to 2 electric power rear sockets for groomers and for other electric powered devices, as well as R.O.P.S. and a kit with 2 extra seats. There are really no limits to the number of possible tasks for the new Superclass.

INNOVATION AS LIFESTYLE

We are very proud of our flexibility and the short time we use in designing and incorporating new technologies. We always work to improve our products, and our philosophy says that quality is not attainable unless you are always reaching for it.

The world of vehicle-manufacturers is divided into two different branches, depending on the philosophy that the designer adopts: Conformists and Innovators. Conformists bring an innovation only after others developed it because they don’t want to 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 customer’s 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 successes with traditional light-utility snowmobiles. Innovation means also to produce a new machine specially designed for these works. So when someone promises he can do the same, we just tell we do it better.

Definitely, what you will never find in another snowmobile like the new Alpina ‘Superclass 1.2L VVT 12-valve’.

The TRANSALP SKI SCHOOL is a bus trailer with R.O.P.S. and 3+3 (or 3+3+3 as option) comfortable foam-seats, safety belts and a ski-rack (not displayed on the picture above) especially designed for ski schools, snow-parks, ski resorts, hutten, etc.

The base platform is made with a sturdy steel chassis measuring mm. 1236×2393 (48-1/3″x94-1/4″) and an aluminum antiskid diamond-plate floorboard.  The skis are made with zinc-coated steel; they have HD-PE skins for better gliding, carbide-steel runners to prevent sideways sliding, and a comfortable progressive rubber suspension which acts like an “air-cushion” even on bumpy trails.  The drawbar coupling system will fit over an automotive 50 mm ball-hitch installed on the SHERPA.  The TRANSALP SKI SCHOOL differs from the standard Transalp BUS in the pleasant plastic fittings with illustrations and logos and it is available with the standard fitting “ALPINALM Skischule – Scuola sci” as shown on the image. Anyway, it can be supplied on request with the mascot/logo and name of the ski area/ski school, etc.  Also available on request a transparent wind-protection kit, including windscreen and hard-top, and/or the 10-pair ski-rack.
