Extended Width Sleds Available Now.
Arctic Star Dog Sleds now offers an extended width option on most sled models. This option can offer greater stability for those who feel more comfortable on a wider sled. It also increases the cargo area of the sleds accommodating more gear room if you like to carry loads. It will also make the sled easier to get in and out of the basket area if you are using the sled to give rides.
The charge for this option varies on the model chosen. Each sled will be built to order, so please allow time for your sled to be built and delivered. Most often long lead times are not anticipated.

For a price of $490.00, we offer a Rising Star with a bar brake option. A claw brake works for smaller teams, but many mushers prefer the larger, stronger ( and easier to use) bar brake.
