2024 Yamaha Sidewinder SRX LE EPS

Beat Thy Neighbor with the Yamaha Sidewinder SRX. The 2024 Sidewinder SRX pays tribute to the 1980 SRX with the limited edition heritage colorway. This machine has carved a niche in snowmobiling reserved for only the fastest, hardest accelerating production sleds. Its low-profile, lean chassis is suspended by a specialized, electronically controlled iQS system that allows you to adjust the ride on-the-fly. The addition of EPS adds handling precision and a lightweight steering character. The combination of iQS and EPS yields a one-two punch for a ride that is unrivalled in the high-performance category. SRX is the 'top-gun' choice of riders looking for maximum velocity when it's a race to the horizon.

• The Sidewinder's lightweight, two-piece, tapered tunnel gives you strength for the long haul and a tapered fit for enhanced leg comfort and overall ride positioning. The reinforced running boards are punched with aggressive boot-hold serrations and offers excellent snow evacuation to keep your feet planted where you want them.

• A standard heated seat provides the ultimate in warmth and comfort on even the coldest winter days. A simple flip of the dash-mounted switch enables the choice of two warmth settings, allowing you to explore what lies beyond that next curve from sun-up to sundown in complete comfort.

• The straight steering post on the Sidewinder is configured over the engine. It connects to a single bell crank for simplicity and light weight. The design also minimizes free-play in the steering system and delivers a tight turning radius.

• The SRX uses a 137-inch long, fully clipped configuration. The lower lug profile yields less wind resistance at high speed while the fully clipped track reduces friction to provide maximum top speed performance. Additionally, the low lug reduces weight and stress on the track for improved durability and performance at sustained high speeds.

• Yamaha engineers 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. It’s an innovation not seen in any other production turbo on the planet. And another first for Yamaha with the Genesis turbo.

• 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.
