2017 Yamaha Sidewinder M-TX 162 SE

2017 Yamaha Sidewinder M-TX 162 SE

Ultimate mountain mastery with the factory turbocharged Genesis engine and an amazingly nimble chassis.

• NEW 998cc Genesis Turbo Engine

The new Genesis 998 Turbo 3-cylinder engine delivers 800-class dominating performance in a compact package. The high tech engine system carries a full suite of features to ensure you have a great day on the snow and a fun night when you reach your destination. We use our advanced nine-sensor engine management system to control fuel flow for maximum performance, but it also incorporates a knock sensor to adjust ignition timing and even manifold pressure if the need should arise.

• High Tech Turbo

The Nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise, able to withstand highly elevated temperatures. Supported by premium, ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong. This yields a low moment of inertia for lightning quick response to exhaust gas input.

• NEW Yamaha Mountain Ski

The all-new Yamaha Mountain ski delivers everything you want in a deep snow ski. Its wide footprint enhances flotation and actively lifts the sled’s nose up on plane in deep powder. Traction lugs on the top of the ski give you a sure foothold when the situation gets really gnarly. The wide and deep keel design deliver light steering effort yet confident and predictable handling on hard pack and in fresh fluff.

• FOX FLOAT 3 Front Shocks

The latest generation air shock from FOX® features an infinitely adjustable, no tool required, air spring. By changing the air pressure in the main chamber with the included pump, the FLOAT® is the most progressive, adjustable, and lightweight air shock available. A convenient air valve location enhances access, and calibration changes further deliver exceptional bump compliance and control.

• 3-Inch Power Claw Track

The Power Claw track touts taller 3-inch lugs with an engineered pattern to deliver the ultimate in deep snow traction and lift while reducing overall track weight by 2.5-pounds over the PowerClaw 2.6-inch track. Designed for optimum performance in fresh powder, the new Power Claw 3.0” represents the most extreme performance mountain track Yamaha has ever offered.

• NEW YSRC Clutching

Yamaha has well over a decade of experience in harnessing the unique power delivery of a high performance four stroke engine. For the hyper performance Sidewinder M-TX 162 SE, we have developed a new YSRC roller secondary system to deliver aggressive upshifting while also backshifting quickly to keep you in the power. In addition, we slightly upsized the new secondary to overshift and let the Sidewinder M-TX 162 SE stretch its legs on a long lake run.

• 36-Inch SRV-M Front Suspension

The sleek SRV-M Front Suspension is ultra compact to reduce unwanted spindle and suspension component drag in deep snow; a narrowed stance for extreme maneuverability; and delivers aggressive lean angles for incredible side-hilling and powder turn capabilities. The forged aluminum spindle joins upper and lower control arms for reduced weight (2.4-pounds); while the large caster angle improves side-hilling and ease of steering. A narrow overall stance and elimination of the sway bar greatly enhances deep snow agility.
