SIDEWINDER B-TX LE
When making first tracks in the fresh back country takes precedent, then the Sidewinder B-TX LE is tailored to suit your style. The 153" Power Claw track with sturdy 2.25" lugs, wide Yamaha Mountain skis and a 40" stance is the perfect combo for getting through the deep stuff. Premium Fox® Zero QS3 shocks provide easy. And the 'Stealth' brake cylinder and lever combo take care of slowing down the mighty turbo with more authority than ever. |

FOX ZERO QS3 SHOCKS
The Limited B-TX receives a full complement of top shelf Fox QS3 shock absorbers. The front suspension gets twin, coil-over QS3 with remote reservoirs and 3-way QS3 damping adjusters. The front skid frame arm gets a QS3 1.5 and the rear arms QS3 2.0 with remote reservoir and 3-way damping adjuster to perfectly matched the front end. These shocks all include Fox FIST ice scraper technology, velocity sensitive damping and high quality hard chrome rods with T6 anodized bodies. |

STEALTH CONTROL SYSTEM
The handle bar controls feature a left hand switch cluster which allows for 'on the fly' access to the multi-step hand and thumb warmer adjusters. Information available on the multi-function gauge can be easily selected with a convenient toggle switch and the push button reverse gear switch is also located in the left hand cluster. The right side of the bar is clean with an ergonomically shaped throttle lever and simple, stand-alone emergency stop switch. The Hayes 'Stealth' brake cylinder is equipped with a composite brake lever providing great modulation for better feel and powerful stopping performance. |

TOP

- 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. The proven Yamaha turbo has earned the respect and reputation befitting the industries highest achiever. This engine produces the potent venom in the Sidewinders bite.
- The Limited B-TX receives a full complement of top shelf Fox QS3 shock absorbers. The front suspension gets twin, coil-over QS3 with remote reservoirs and 3-way QS3 damping adjusters. The front skid frame arm gets a QS3 1.5 and the rear arms QS3 2.0 with remote reservoir and 3-way damping adjuster to perfectly matched the front end. These shocks all include Fox FIST ice scraper technology, velocity sensitive damping and high quality hard chrome rods with T6 anodized bodies.
- The 40 inch ski stance hits the sweet spot between on trail stability with cornering prowess and off-trail maneuverability for deep snow carving with quick transitions from side to side. Yamaha Mountain Skis with their wide profile and single keep design compliment the narrower stance for off trail agility and on trail confidence.
- The 2.25 inch lugged PowerClaw track was born in the Rockies and offers up the best traction for off trail play wherever that takes you. The long 153 inch length offers plenty of float and lift to keep you going while its not so long that you have to struggle to maneuver in tight, challenging terrain.
- The handle bar controls feature a left hand switch cluster which allows for 'on the fly' access to the multi-step hand and thumb warmer adjusters. Information available on the multi-function gauge can be easily selected with a convenient toggle switch and the push button reverse gear switch is also located in the left hand cluster.

Performance
|
- A dual-piston brake caliper applies braking forces directly to the drive shaft and is mated to an wave-style, lightweight drilled rotor. The LE-Only rotor removes 1lb of rotating mass from the vehicles driveline, helping transfer all of the Sidewinder's available horsepower to the snow. The 'Stealth; master cylinder and composite Stealth brake lever offer excellent modulation and feel with ergonomically precise operation.
- 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. Triple throttle bodies are used exclusively to further enhance the quick delivery of compressed air from the impeller to intake valves.
- 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 wanted an engine that's exceptionally quick to respond with little or no 'lag' as found in a conventional turbo. One of the ways they achieved their goal was to develop an intake system using three separate throttle bodies positioned very close to the intake valves. Instead of just one feeding long intake tubes — something that is not seen in any other production turbo on the planet. And another first for Yamaha with the Genesis turbo.
- Unlike conventional turbo 'blow-off' valves, the Yamaha ABV redirects air pressure back into the intake side of the compressor to prevent surge and help maintain impeller speed, always at the ready for the next acceleration with seamless power delivery.
- Engine coolant is circulated through the turbocharger to control both under-hood temperature and help cool the intake charge. Upon engine shut down, the convection energy produced by super-heated coolant at the turbo head keeps it circulating without the coolant pump in operation. This eliminates the need for an engine cool down cycle while maintaining high durability in the turbo components.

Handling
|
- A dedicated, tall steering post delivers optimum ergonomics for standup riding. The 5.5 inch riser, with broad, molded, curved-end mountain bar and incorporated mountain strap delivers ample leverage for off-trail riding. The system is adjustable to dial in sweep and reach to help keep you in the sweet spot.
- The YSRC primary and roller secondary clutches are calibrated 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.
- The sleek SRV-M Front Suspension is ultra compact to reduce unwanted spindle and suspension component drag in deep snow. The narrow stance allows for extreme maneuverability and delivers aggressive lean angles for incredible side-hilling and powder turn capabilities. The lightweight, forged aluminum spindles join the widely spaced upper and lower control arms producing a large caster angle for tight side-hilling and ease of steering. The clean, narrow overall stance and elimination of the sway bar also greatly enhances deep snow agility.
- The SRV M chassis combines a load-bearing triangulated structure with lightweight aluminum construction to create a neutrally balanced sled that's centered on the rider. The pyramidal upper frame creates chassis strength without excessive weight.
