2021 Yamaha Sidewinder X-TX SE 146 Base

2021 Yamaha Sidewinder X-TX SE 146

Carve up the powder before hitting the trail back home.

Features may include:

• 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.

• FOX® 1.5 QS3 Front Shocks

The Fox 1.5 Zero QS3, coil spring, high-pressure gas shocks feature a piggyback chamber that delivers reduced fading, exceptional control and three easy ways to adjust the compression damping performance settings, so you can quickly and easily adjust the ride based on the conditions and your riding preference.

• 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.

• Mountain Seat

The lightweight X-TX SE mountain seat's tall and narrow profile eases rider transitions from side-to-side and improves stand-up ergonomics.

• Triple Throttle Body Induction

The Yamaha Genesis turbo engine's intake system uses three separate throttle bodies that are positioned very close to the intake valves to create a quick engine response with little to no lag. This is something not see in any other production turbo on the planet.

• 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, so Yamaha developed a special system which employs the ISC (idle speed control) circuit and ECU map that uses throttle valve movement and RPM information to reduce negative intake pressure during deceleration.

• YSRC High Performance Clutch System

The YSRC primary and roller secondary clutches are calibrated for durable, cool operation. They efficiently harness and transfer the massive torque produced by the Genesis Turbo to the track, all while minimizing drive belt wear. The primary shifts out aggressively to use all of the power while the roller secondary is quick to back-shift and provides additional ratio through its oversized sheaves for continuous acceleration.

• 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 in deep powder. Traction lugs on the top of the ski give a sure foothold when it gets really gnarly. The wide and deep keel design deliver light steering effort yet confident and predictable handling, whether it's hard-packed snow or fresh fluff.

• 40" Ski Stance

With quick transitions from side to side, the 40" ski stance hits the sweet spot between cornering on-trail and deep snow carving off-trail. The wide profile and single keel design of the Yamaha Mountain Skis compliment the narrower stance for off-trail agility and on-trail confidence.
