BLURS THE LINE.
Sidewinder S‑TX GT EPS produces the most power ever offered in a Yamaha two‑up machine. It is simply unrivaled in its overall performance, blurring the line between a sporty trail touring package and all‑out lake racer. Powered by the mighty Yamaha Genesis 998 turbo, this fully featured flagship cruiser stands above all other passenger‑capable snowmobiles. The addition of Yamaha Electric Power Steering (EPS) reduces rider fatigue. Along with its dual tanks providing extended fuel range, storage capacity for two, plus all the comfort and warmth you'd expect from a luxury sled, there is nothing else quite like it on snow.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Yamaha Electric Power Steering - 'EPS'
Yamaha introduced EPS for snowmobiles in 2011, pioneering the innovative technology that both reduces steering effort and increases steering precision. The newest generation has reduced weight by over three pounds and incorporates a ‘brushless’ DC motor. No brushes to wear out means greater reliability and much better thermal performance or ability to maintain full output power for longer periods of time. Variable assist EPS utilizes a magnetic torque sensor to measure steering input based on torsion or 'twist' of the steering post resulting from handlebar input combined with ski resistance. The contactless, magnetic torque sensor supplies this data to an integrated control module which in turn, signals the brushless servo-motor to assist the steering through its powered, worm-gear drive assembly. The system also provides engine RPM and vehicle speed data to the control module which calibrates for increased assistance at lower speeds then tapers off as the vehicle accelerates giving a more balanced, natural feel or 'connection' to the terrain. When the skis encounter an abrupt force that works against the steering input, the torque sensor alerts the control module to apply additional assistance to counteract or ‘resist’ the negative input. This effectively reduces the steering effort required while enhancing predictability for greater rider confidence and less fatigue.
Rear Hard Case with Auxiliary Fuel Tank
You won't be caught short on a long ride with the convenient, moisture-proof hard storage case and 4.1-gallon / 15.5-liter auxiliary fuel tank. Total fuel capacity is bumped up to 13 gallons / 50 liters, which goes a long way on the trail (and your peace of mind).
Premium Fox Zero QS3 Front Shocks
The Sidewinder S-TX GT sports front Fox QS3 adjustable shocks up front and aluminum body High Pressure Gas (HPG) shocks in the rear, offering fade free performance to handle all the challenges the trail can dish out.
