It can do the work of 15 people. It costs $75,000. It weighs 4,500 pounds and can break apart 800-pound rocks. It’s specifically designed for cutting narrow trail, and whoever stole it knew what they were looking at, because the Single Track 240 was locked in a trailer, and the thieves that got hold of the beast had to break through a fenced area and tow away the entire trailer. Did they know there are only five ST240’s in the world, and that fencing it wouldn’t be as simple as hocking a hot Camaro on Long Island? Good question. What is known is that the theft directly affects projects at Sandy Ridge, Stub Stewart State Park and the Cascade Locks International Mountain Bike Trail. There’s a reward of up to $2,000 for information on the theft.
