2022 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX SE

The Sidewinder L-TX SE has all the trail performance and capabilities found in our LE models but at a lower price point. The ARCS front suspension with Fox® RC adjustable shocks leads the charge with longer, lightweight forged spindles and optimized geometry. A 137″ Ripsaw II track wrapped around the free-arm, coupled SRV rear suspension with HPG shocks hooks up the industry’s most powerful engine. The race bred chassis holds you forward, at the ready to meet anything the trail throws your way. Appearance is also racy and aggressive with a minimal, – shorty – wind deflector and hot, high impact graphics.

Features may include:

COMFORT

• Stealth Control System

The handlebar controls feature a left-sided switch cluster for “on-the-fly” access to the multi-step hand and thumb warm adjusters, the push button reverse gear shift and the multi-function gauge that can be easily select information with a convenient toggle. On the right side, a clean bar hosts an ergonomically-shaped throttle lever and a simple, stand-alone emergency stop switch. The Hayes ‘Stealth’ brake cylinder is equipped with a composite brake lever that, coupled with a lightweight caliper, offers better feel and powerful stopping performance.

• Tapered Tunnel Design

The Sidewinder’s light weight, two-piece, tapered tunnel enhances leg comfort and overall ride positioning during long hauls while the reinforced running boards are punched with aggressive boot hold serrations that offer excellent snow evacuation to keep your feet planted where you want them.

PERFORMANCE

• High Tech Turbo

Able to withstand highly elevated temperatures, the Nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise. Supported by premium ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong which yields a low moment of inertia for a lightning quick response to the exhaust gas input. Triple throttle bodies are used exclusively to further enhance the quick delivery of compressed air from the impeller to the intake valves.

• Mitsubishi Electronic Control Unit

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

HANDLING

• Centralized Mass Design

The SRV chassis layout was engineered to centralize mass. Approximately 60% of the sled’s weight is tightly centered within the main triangulation for a quick-handling, well-balanced sled that’s fun to throw around in a wide variety of conditions.

• Lightweight Rigid SRV Chassis
