2017 Yamaha Sidewinder R-TX SE

2017 Yamaha Sidewinder R-TX SE

Turbocharged Genesis engine paired with the agile and aggressive SRV chassis and new Fox clicker shocks.

• NEW 998cc Genesis Turbo Engine

The new Genesis 998 Turbo 3-cylinder engine delivers 800-class dominating performance in a compact package. The high tech engine system carries a full suite of features to ensure you have a great day on the snow and a fun night when you reach your destination. We use our advanced nine-sensor engine management system to control fuel flow for maximum performance, but it also incorporates a knock sensor to adjust ignition timing and even manifold pressure if the need should arise.

• High Tech Turbo

The Nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise, able to withstand highly elevated temperatures. Supported by premium, ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong. This yields a low moment of inertia for lightning quick response to exhaust gas input.

• NEW YSRC Clutching

Yamaha has well over a decade of experience in harnessing the unique power delivery of a high performance four stroke engine. For the hyper performance Sidewinder R-TX SE, we have developed a new YSRC roller secondary system to deliver aggressive upshifting while also backshifting quickly to keep you in the power. In addition, we slightly upsized the new secondary to overshift and let the Sidewinder R-TX SE stretch its legs on a long lake run.

• NEW Fox 1.5 Zero RC Shocks

The new Fox 1.5 Zero RC shocks on the Sidewinder R-TX SE front suspensions feature an adjustable coil spring, and a clicker adjustment that change both compression and rebound rate. They are fully rebuildable.

• Dual Shock SR 129 Rear Suspension

The drop-link style Dual Shock SR 129 rear suspension is the next generation result of years of punishment and development in snocross and cross-country competition. The incredibly stout, yet lightweight design allows riders to drive hard into the most demanding and unsuspecting terrain while retaining the utmost level of control. The SR 129 is a “coupled” suspension that utilizes a unique “sliding” front arm mount. With up to half-inch of movement at the front arm “slot”, the system allows the suspension to deliver controlled (reduced) ski-lift during acceleration while still retaining front arm bump compliance.

• Tuner III Skis

Our Deep Keel Tuner III Skis are engineered specifically for the SRV Chassis and the unique characteristics of the Widewindeer R-TX SE. They deliver reduced ski-pressure and near effortless steering; and the dual keel design delivers an assured “bite” in the corners with reduced darting. The design also allows you to customize the handling and feel of your sled with easy to change carbide runners in a variety of insert lengths for the inner and outer keel.
