  • Mike covers off yet another iteration of the turbocharged Sidewinder and explores the differences between the pre-order L-TX LE versus the in-season L-TX SE looking at what would entice a Yamaha buyer to lay down his money to order one of these bad boys during Spring Power Surge.

    A long in the tooth design means the kinks have been sorted. I imagine if you buy this sled it will be a change the oil every 3k miles and ride sled for years and years.
    And that is worth something.

    I was raised on snowmobile and I’m Canadian so I should support ski doo but I’ve had every brand sled and if you want something to keep and you will get sick of riding it before it wears out. Buy Yamaha there’s nothing will last as long or take as much abuse

    Now if they would just knock off $3000 off each model in the lineup, they would start to be competitive in the market. Most people buy these for low maintenance long mile performance sleds. For a while they were the only option in that category. Ski-doo has the 900R Turbo that does much of the same thing at a much cheaper price point. Yamaha at this point needs to do 2 things. Drop the price and update that ancient display. Its hard to believe these sleds come from Japan. They should have the best displays on the market. After all, their cars have been way ahead of the game on displays for years.

      For that exact reason. On long trips I find the seat isn't supportive enough. Slightly firmer foam would help.

      probably depends on where you live. in MN there are A LOT of Arctic cats and Yamahas. That's not to say there aren't skidoos around here but it is scarce compared to arctic cats and polaris whereas I'm sure in some place like Canada you'd see skidoos everywhere. I see more 90s polaris and arctic cats out on the trails than 2015+ skidoos.

    He’s lying on the price difference the srx is 22000 plus but the model he’s showing is about 17 to 19 thousand depending on eps and upgrades I’ve been pricing all the new sleds and there all in about the same price range on similar models

    • @snowtrax
      @snowtrax  Před 6 měsíci

      Ahhhhh, I love being called a liar and then being "corrected" with the same pricing I provided. Go check your facts, champ. The MSRP listed for this sled last year was exactly as shown on the screen 4:54. For 2024, they're even higher at $19,999 US and $25,999 Canadian.
