Abstract

A snowmobile footrest adapted to be disposed on a side of a snowmobile tunnel includes a plurality of interconnected ribs. At least one first rib extending in a first direction includes an upper first rib surface and a lower first rib surface defining a first rib height therebetween. A pair of vertical first rib surfaces, extending generally in a vertical direction between the upper and lower first rib surfaces, define a first rib thickness therebetween. The first rib height is greater than the first rib thickness. At least one second rib is connected to the at least one first rib. Each second rib extends in a second direction, the second direction being at an angle with respect to the first direction. The at least one first rib and the at least one second rib define at least one space therebetween. Snowmobiles having the footrests are also disclosed.
