UNMATCHED CORNERING.
UNMATCHED CORNERING.
The Sidewinder L-TX LE with EPS has the power and suspension to devour whatever the terrain throws at you. The addition of power steering enhances control, bolstering your confidence to ride deeper into corners while reducing the steering effort found in other muscle sleds to that of a lightweight fan. Premium Fox QS3 shocks up front keep you hooked up while the dual QS3 shock skid handles the bumps with authority. The wide ski stance is balanced by a 137-inch RipSaw II track for stable agility on the trail. This L-TX package represents the absolute best all-rounder in a top-performing Yamaha trail sled.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Comfort:
The turbo boosted, one-liter 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 produces the potent venom in the Sidewinder's bite.
The ARCS front suspension features tall, high-strength, forged alloy spindles and lightweight upper A-arms. The geometry is designed to optimize suspension function while increasing ground clearance. This results in greater bite with less chassis roll for more predictable and consistent handling.
The Yamaha designed single keel ski strikes the elusive balance between lightweight steering effort and precision handling over a wide range of snow conditions.
Unique, staggered carbides further enhance steering response.
A special shim pad assembly works in conjunction with the rubber saddle block to adjust the carbide pressure point.
Overall ski stance is also adjustable by relocating the thick spacer located on each ski axle to the opposite side.
FOX ZERO QS3 1.5-INCH FRONT SHOCKS:
The Fox Zero QS3 shocks, coil-over shock features a piggyback chamber to deliver reduced fading, exceptional control, and three easy-to-adjust compression damping performance settings so you can quickly and easily adjust the ride to conditions and riding preference.
STRYKE' SINGLE KEEL SKI:
The Yamaha designed single keel ski strikes the elusive balance between lightweight steering effort and precision handling over a wide range of snow conditions. Special staggered carbides further enhance steering response. A special shim pad assembly works in conjunction with the rubber saddle block to adjust the carbide pressure point. Overall ski stance is also adjustable by relocating the thick spacer located on each ski axle to the opposite side.
NEW! EPS:
EPS takes the fight out of muscling the powerful turbo through twisty trails--but it doesn't stop there. EPS also isolates the rider from unwanted handlebar resistance fed back through the mechanical steering system from inconsistencies in the trail. The resulting light steering effort and handling precision is unrivaled when it comes to long days in the saddle. Suspension comfort, responsive throttle and reliable power top the list of priorities for long distance rides.
