2019 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX LE
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.
Fox Zero iQS Amortos – The new Intelligent Quick Shift (iQS) amortos from FOX are installed on the front and rear arms. The suspension is adjusted in the heat of the action with a button on the left handlebar grip. Compression damping has three separate settings, allowing for soft to stiff damping. Once activated, the SCU (Suspension Control Unit), mounted on the shock body, changes the required oil flow to all shocks in less than a second, allowing the rider to adjust the travel to suit the riding conditions. Once the desired setting is selected, it is clearly displayed on the left side of the digital instrument panel. The rebound damping is preset and remains consistent to control jerking when riding over bumps, regardless of the iQS compression setting selected.
137 x 1.6-inch Cobra Track – The L-TX LE features a snocross-inspired Cobra track with 1.6-inch lugs that pack a punch. In order to make the most of the high acceleration potential resulting from these lugs, the overall gear ratio has been reduced using a 24/50 gearing. Combined with the Fox iQS Zero shock package, the LE devours deep snow and rough terrain. A simple thumb movement is all it takes to get going in a hurry between turns.
