2018 Yamaha Sidewinder M-TX 162

When picking the perfect line, it takes a keen eye, attention to detail and an understanding of the elements around you. Picking your snowmobile is no different. The Yamaha M-TX 162 has removed any compromise from the equation by offering the highest horsepower to weight ratio snowmobile in the mountains. You will find the Sidewinder M-TX 162 at the top of the food chain and find yourself at the top of the mountain before anyone else has a chance to ride your untouched, predetermined line of choice.

• Ultra compact to reduce spindle and suspension drag in deep snow

• Narrow stance

• Widely spaced control arms to product a larger caster angle for tight side-hilling

• Industry's highest horsepower

• Designed around a premium turbo unit to produce uncompromised performance and reliability

• Yamaha engineered for no turbo lag

• Relocated chaincase to allow for more clearance

• New 8-tooth extrovert track drivers

• Narrower running boards to aid in deep snow manuverability

Features may include:

• 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. Turbo charging also maintains maximum horsepower regardless of elevation unlike non-turbo engines which can loose up to 40% of their horsepower on top of the mountain.

• Mitsubishi Electronic Control Unit

The Yamaha-developed Mitsubishi ECU uses a series of 9 sensors to gather running condition data which it computes using a predetermined memory 'map'. It then adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, manifold air-pressure and turbo boost pressure to produce maximum performance under any condition - reliably.

• Yamaha Mountain Ski

The lightweight 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.

• SRV-M Rear Suspension

This lightweight, uncoupled, twin shock system is calibrated for excellent transfer and deep snow floatation. It features front and rear Monotube HP gas shocks, lightened rails and unique open design for more efficient snow evacuation.
