Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX SE 2018

2018 Yamaha Sidewinder LTX SE The Sidewinder L-TX SE is built for the aggressive trail rider looking to commit an all-out assault on rough, technical trails. The Sidewinder SE model utilizes FOX® Zero RC front shock absorbers to offer a wide range of rebound and compression damping adjustments. The shocks include high quality hard chrome rods with anodized 1.5 bodies for added durability and a smooth ride on a variety of terrain. TOP FEATURES 998 Genesis Turbo Engine The turbo boosted, one liter triple is unmatched when it comes to delivering incredible power with the refinement and quality you have come to expect from a Yamaha. Designed around a premium turbo unit, every engine component from intake to exhaust, is dedicated to producing uncompromised performance. In only its second year in production the Yamaha turbo has earned the respect and reputation befitting the industry's highest achiever. Truly this is the potent venom of a Sidewinders bite. YSRC High Performance Clutch System The YSRC primary and roller secondary clutches were specifically designed for durable, cool operation. They harness and transfer the massive torque produced by the Genesis Turbo, efficiently to the track while minimizing drive belt wear. The primary shifts out aggressively to use all the power on tap while the roller secondary is quick to back-shift and provides additional ratio through its oversize sheaves to keep accelerating long after the others have signed off. EBRS Engine Braking Control The effect of 4-stroke 'engine braking' when the throttle valves are closed has a significant impact on handling and ride character. Yamaha developed a special system which employs the ISC (idle speed control) circuit and ECU map using throttle valve movement and RPM information to reduce negative intake pressure during deceleration. Dual Shock SR Rear Suspension The Dual Shock SR rear suspension is the cumulative result of years of punishment and development in snocross and cross-country competition. This lightweight suspension offers premium bump compliance with excellent resistance to bottoming. The Dual Shock SR is a "coupled" skid-frame that utilizes a unique "sliding" front arm mount with half an inch of movement at the front arm "slot". This active arm design delivers controlled (reduced) ski-lift during acceleration while retaining a good measure of independent front arm tracking. SE Shock Package The SE gets premium FOX® Zero RC front shock absorbers with a quick adjust, 3-position damper system, remote reservoir and preload adjustable coil springs. The skid frame front arm gets an aluminum 1.5 HPG gas shock and the rear duties are carried out by a beefier 2.0 aluminum HPG shock for fade-free performance.
