Comfort

• DIGITAL GAUGE PACKAGE: The deluxe gauge package touts large, easy to read black on white digits, making it easy to keep track of vehicle and engine diagnostics even when navigating a drifted ditch-line or mogul littered trail. The easy to operate, technology packed display includes coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, intake air temperature, voltage, along with speed, rpm, altimeter, clock, fuel level, trip meters, and much more.
• PUSH BUTTON REVERSE: Standard push button reverse actuates a servo-controlled reverse gear providing both comfort and convenience.
• LED TAILLIGHT: The high-intensity LED taillight / brake light is lighter and brighter than a traditional incandescent design, and delivers a significantly longer lifespan.

Handling

• LIGHTWEIGHT SRV FRONT SUSPENSION: The over-structure design of the SRV chassis creates a rigid mounting point for the unique 30-degree swept design of the SRV front suspension. The “angled” mounting design directs impacts back to the strongest points of the chassis, creating a more stable and predictable ride. Tall, lightweight forged spindles help to deliver an incredibly strong front suspension with controlled camber geometry for stability and light steering effort.
• SRV CHASSIS: Sophisticated aluminum extrusions are joined with precision castings to create an incredibly strong, lightweight and rider intuitive chassis. The over-structure design provides rigidity and is designed to disperse severe impacts throughout the chassis making it exceptionally resilient.
• MAGNESIUM DRIVE CASE / OIL RESERVOIR: The multi-function case is made of lightweight magnesium and serves multiple functions. Foremost it serves as the chain-case housing with integrated push-button reverse; it also provides a rigid mounting location for the upper chassis spar; and it serves as the remote oil reservoir. The multi-function design makes for a lightweight and more compact chassis design resulting in improved ride and handling.
• CONJOINED REAR WHEEL-SET: A composite rear axle hub assembly is conjoined into a single hub design, making it both lighter and stronger than two separate wheels, resulting in less un-sprung weight for a more responsive rear suspension.

Performance

• RIPSAW II TRACK: Regarded as the best high-performance terrain track available, the 1.25-inch lug design of the Ripsaw II delivers incredible acceleration, braking control, and handling in a wide variety of conditions.
• YVXC CLUTCHING: Featuring Yamaha drive and driven clutching, the YVXC system delivers smooth engagement, instant acceleration, fast reacting backshift, and cool operating temperatures for a long belt life. The YVXC clutch system delivers Yamaha’s hallmark smooth power delivery, responsive engine feel and unmatched quality.
• HAYES PERFORMANCE BRAKES: A dual-piston brake caliper applies braking forces directly to the drive shaft and is mated to an oversized, lightweight drilled rotor. The unique radial brake master cylinder helps to deliver consistent “feel” in a wide variety of conditions while the oversized lever delivers greater braking force and feel with reduced effort.
• HIGH FLOW INTAKE AND EXHAUST: The forward facing design of the air-box and engine intake system on the Genesis 1,049 cc engine results in maximum airflow to the engine and no starvation. This ensures maximum power and throttle response. In addition, a high-flow, stainless steel exhaust header is cooled by snow for optimum performance without excessive heat and noise.
• HPG REAR SHOCKS: Premium high pressure gas shocks are found at both the front and rear arms of the rear suspension - tuned for premium control and comfort with incredible fade resistance. The shocks are also serviceable, allowing your authorized Yamaha dealer to recharge and refresh them for consistent performance season after season.

Top Features

• DUAL SHOCK SR 146 REAR SUSPENSION: The dual shock SR 146 offers fresh snow flotation and comfort thanks to its longer length and comfort tuned torsion springs and high pressure gas shocks at both front and rear arms. The lightweight suspension serves up excellent flotation off-trail but is primarily designed for on-trail duties with superior traction for exceptional acceleration and braking performance along with impressive bump absorption across a wide range of trail conditions, from freshly groomed to trail chatter to larger bumps and unpredictable terrain.
• AUXILIARY REAR FUEL TANK / STORAGE: A rear-mounted fuel tank with a capacity of 4.6-gallons dramatically extends range for those who crave long distance riding without stopping. The system is designed to use fuel from the auxiliary tank first, thereby keeping the vehicle balanced. In addition, a rear mounted storage area adjacent to the tank offers extensive space for additional gear and features a quick latch cover to keep gear out of the elements while blending seamlessly with the overall lines of the snowmobile.
• EXTRA TALL WINDSCREEN AND MIRRORS: An extra tall windshield offers premium protection from the elements and incorporates mirrors that effectively gives you a view of your riding partners without having to take your eyes of the trail that lies ahead of you.
• HEATED TRAIL SEAT: A standard heated seat provides the ultimate in warmth and comfort on even the coldest of winter days. A simple flip of the dash-mounted switch allows you to choose from two settings of warmth allowing you to explore what lies beyond that next curve from sun-up to sundown in complete comfort.
• HPG COIL-OVER FRONT SHOCKS: High pressure gas (HPG) shocks with strong 40 mm bodies are calibrated to deliver consistent performance and comfort with excellent fade resistance. Plus the shocks are rebuildable, ensuring you season after season of consistent performance with proper maintenance.
• GENESIS 1049 CC HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE: The 3-cylinder Genesis engine has been regarded as the industry’s best four-stroke engine. Featuring a sophisticated closed-loop fuel injection system and four-valves per cylinder, the 1,049 engine delivers a class-leading horsepower, instant throttle response and a thick torque curve that jettisons you from corner to corner in a blink of an eye. All with great fuel economy and a reputation for bulletproof durability.
