READY FOR DOMINATION.

The Sidewinder L-TX SE has all the trail performance and capabilities found in our LE models but at a lower price point. The ARCS front suspension with Fox® RC adjustable shocks leads the charge with longer, lightweight forged spindles and optimized geometry. A 137-inch Ripsaw II track wrapped around the free-arm, coupled SRV rear suspension with HPG shocks hooks up the industry's most powerful engine. The race-bred chassis holds you forward, at the ready to meet anything the trail throws your way. Appearance is also racy and aggressive with a minimal 'shorty' wind deflector and hot, high-impact graphics.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Comfort:
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 offer excellent snow evacuation to keep your feet planted where you want them.
The handlebar controls feature a left hand switch cluster which allows for 'on-the-fly' access to the multi-step hand and thumb warmer adjusters. Information available on the multi-function gauge can be easily selected with a convenient toggle switch and the push button electric start, reverse gear switch is also located in the left-hand cluster. The right side of the bar is clean with an ergonomically shaped throttle lever and simple, stand-alone emergency stop switch. The Hayes 'Stealth' brake cylinder is equipped with a composite brake lever providing great modulation for better feel and powerful stopping performance.
Convenient handlebar positioning makes starting, shifting to and from reverse easy with just the push of your thumb. A servo motor shifts the drivetrain into reverse simply and consistently. An audible warning beeper reminds you when you are still in reverse.

DUAL SHOCK SR REAR SUSPENSION:
The SE gets premium Fox Zero RC front shock absorbers with adjustable coil springs and a wide range of damping adjustments. These shocks include Fox FIST ice scraper technology, velocity-sensitive damping and high-quality hard chrome rods with T6 anodized 1.5 inch bodies. The skid frame front arm gets an aluminum 1.5 HPG gas shock and the rear duties are carried out by a beefier 2.0 aluminum HPG shock for fade-free performance.

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 unique 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.

ARCS FRONT SUSPENSION:
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.

COLOR OPTIONS:
• Redline / Black
