The Yamaha Sidewinder SRX LE is ready to defend its title as the world's fastest production snowmobile. With the heart of a Genesis 998 Turbo and specially calibrated iQS, electronically controlled suspension, the SRX is sure to get you to the end of the lake first! A low profile Ripsaw track minimizes drag while the race-bred, ARCS front suspension with longer, forged spindles, special lightweight upper A-arms and optimized geometry work to keep everything planted. In a throw-back to the glory days of Yamaha racing, the new SRX proudly sports a limited edition, retro, red / white paint scheme with gold accents.
Features may include:
HIGHLIGHTSFox Intelligent Quick Shift (iQS) shock absorbers are employed up front and on the rear arm. Suspension can be adjusted on the fly using a left hand mounted switch on the bars. Compression damping is offered in three very noticeable steps from soft to firm. Once activated the SCU (suspension control unit), located on the shock body, alters the oil flow within all applicable shocks in less than one second allowing the rider to dial in suspension feel to the running conditions. The shock setting is clearly displayed in the left side digital gauge once the selection is made. There are also two 'driver' select modes which can be preset and held in memory to change the overall settings in one step. Rebound damping is preset, remaining constant to control kick-back and 'packing' in the rough, regardless of the iQS compression selection.
The Yamaha design, 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 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.
SRX uses a 137 inch long, low, one inch profile multi-ply track in a 2.86, fully clipped configuration. The lower lug profile yields less wind resistance at high speed while the fully clipped track reduces friction to provide maximum top speed performance. Additionally the low lug reduces weight and stress on the track for improved durability and performance at sustained high speeds.
