KEY FEATURES
Genesis 998 Turbocharged Engine – The 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine is unmatched when it comes to delivering awesome power with Yamaha’s signature refinement and quality. Built around this superb turbo, all engine components, from intake to exhaust, are designed to deliver uncompromising performance. This Yamaha turbo has already earned the respect and reputation that is consistent with the manufacturer’s great achievements. This is truly the powerful venom of the Sidewinder’s bite.
High Performance YSRC Clutch System – The YSRC clutch primary and secondary roller pulleys were designed with durability and light operation in mind. They efficiently transmit the impressive torque produced by the Genesis Turbo to the track with minimal drive belt wear. The primary pulley engages aggressively to utilize the full power available, while the second roller pulley responds quickly to downshifting and provides additional ratio through its large pulleys to continue accelerating long after the others have dropped out.
40″ Adjustable Ski Gap – The 1-meter (40″) ski gap is the perfect combination of stability on the trail and fearlessness in turns and off-trail maneuverability to move through deep snow quickly from side to side. In addition, these single-keel crossover skis perfectly complement the narrower spread of this machine.
New Stealth Controls – Handlebar controls include a left-hand grip switch that allows the rider to access the new heated grips and thumb warmer settings. A toggle button displays various information on the multifunction display, while the push button for reverse is also located on the left handlebar. The right-hand side of the handlebar is uncluttered and has only a new ergonomic throttle and a self-contained emergency stop switch. In addition, the new Hayes brake cylinder is connected to the short-throw composite brake lever, improving the riding feel with increased modulation for exemplary braking power.
