2024 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX LE EPS Base

2024 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX LE EPS

The Sidewinder L-TX LE represents an all-out assault on rough terrain. The Sidewinder L-TX LE front suspension features premium FOX Zero QS3-R shocks with Kashima coat while the dual shock SR137 rear suspension has a QS3 Kashima centre shock and beefy Zero QS3-R 2.0 inch rear shock. The wide stance ARCS front clip and Stryke single keel skis keep you pointed where you want to go and the long travel coupled, rear SRV suspension with 137" Ripsaw II track takes care of the rest. The pure power delivered by the industry's top-performing engine delivers in spades, pulling the corners closer together than you ever thought possible.

Features may include:

• The turbo boosted, one-litre triple is unmatched when it comes to delivering incredible power with the refinement and quality you have come to expect from a Yamaha. Designed around a premium turbo unit, every engine component from intake to exhaust is dedicated to producing uncompromised performance. The proven Yamaha turbo has earned the respect and reputation befitting the industry's highest achiever. This engine is virtually the potent venom of the Sidewinder's bite.

• 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. Triple throttle bodies are used exclusively to further enhance the quick delivery of compressed air from the impeller to intake valves.

• The Yamaha-developed Mitsubishi ECU uses a series of nine sensors to gather running condition data which it computes using a predetermined memory ‘map’. It then adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, manifold air pressure and turbo boost pressure to produce maximum performance under any condition—reliably.

• The SRV chassis layout was engineered with the goal of centralizing mass. Approximately 60 percent of the sled's weight is tightly centered within the main triangulation. The result is a quick-handling, well-balanced sled that's fun to throw around in a wide variety of conditions.

• The SRV chassis combines a load-bearing triangulated structure with lightweight aluminum construction to create a neutrally balanced sled that's centered on the rider. The pyramidal upper frame creates chassis strength without excessive weight.

• The Sidewinder's lightweight, two-piece, tapered tunnel gives you strength for the long haul and a tapered fit for enhanced leg comfort and overall ride positioning. The reinforced running boards are punched with aggressive boot-hold serrations and offers excellent snow evacuation to keep your feet planted where you want them.

• A standard heated seat provides the ultimate in warmth and comfort on even the coldest winter days. A simple flip of the dash-mounted switch enables the choice of two warmth settings, allowing you to explore what lies beyond that next curve from sun-up to sundown in complete comfort.
