The brand’s founder Mike West worked with 20 other industry leaders to design the ultimate winter vehicle. Anyone who’s worn 686 outerwear can vouch for West’s dedication to functional, innovative gear, but this rally-inspired XB took his “everything has a purpose” mindset to a whole new level.

The Numeric features:

Snow-specific tires w/ offroad treads by New Balance

Sound system designed & engineered by Skullcandy

iPad-controlled audio & navigation on custom Rokform cradle

Dragon APX frameless goggle windshield

Heated floor mats by Freewaters footwear

Sparco swivel bucket seats that mimic Union Binding Co.’s high-back cups

“Dial-in” heating & cooling controls by BOA technology

Protective, carbon fiber helmet roof by Bern Unlimited

Lightforce custom grill

Interior graphics by Marc Mckee of Blind Skateboards

RECCO 2-part Avalanche Rescue System

Interior clock by Vestal watches

Visual racing mirrors & interior mapping by GoPro

Waterproof/breathable fabric exterior wrapping by 686
