2022 Yamaha Sidewinder S-TX GT EPS

Sidewinder S-TX GT EPS produces the most power ever offered in a Yamaha 2-up machine. It is simply unrivaled in its overall performance blurring the line between a sporty trail touring package and all out lake-racer. Powered by the mighty Yamaha Genesis 998 turbo, this fully featured flag-ship cruiser stands above all other passenger capable snowmobiles. The addition of Yamaha Electric Power Steering (EPS) reduces rider fatigue. Along with its dual tanks providing extended fuel range, storage capacity for two, plus all the comfort and warmth you'd expect from a luxury sled there is nothing else quite like it on snow.

Features may include:

• Multiple Accessory Power Plugs

Both driver and passenger are provided with convenient RCA DC outlets for heated helmet visors plus a console-located socket type outlet to power-up other 12V accessories.

• Front/Rear Adjustable Hand Warmers

The driver and passenger stay warm with independently-controlled hand warmers. Functional wind deflectors are also added to the padded rear grab bars to keep the elements away from the passenger's hands.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 146" x 1.25" RipSaw™ Track

Regarded as the best high-performance terrain track available, the 146" x 1.25" lug design of the RipSaw delivers incredible acceleration, braking control and handling in a wide variety of trail conditions.
