Calibrated for big mountain riding, the Sidewinder M-TX SE 162 features a new drop case and tunnel for 2018. But it doesn't stop there, the SE model comes fitted with FOX® Float® 3 suspension all around to offer infinite adjustability for the endless backcountry line options scoped out in a day. But don't take out word for it.
DROP CASE AND TUNNELFeatures may include:
PERFORMANCEThe Nickel alloy turbine body is extremely strong and precise, able to withstand highly elevated temperatures. Supported by premium, ceramic ball bearings, the Inconel turbine blade assembly is very light and strong. This yields a low moment of inertia for lightning quick response to exhaust gas input. Turbo charging also maintains maximum horsepower regardless of elevation unlike non-turbo engines which can loose up to 40% of their horsepower on top of the mountain.
The Yamaha-developed Mitsubishi ECU uses a series of 9 sensors to gather running condition data which it computes using a predetermined memory 'map'. It then adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, manifold air-pressure and turbo boost pressure to produce maximum performance under any condition - reliably.
HANDLINGThe updated SRV M chassis combines a load-bearing triangulated structure with lightweight aluminum construction to create a neutrally balanced sled that's centered on the rider. The pyramidal upper frame creates chassis strength without excessive weight.
The deep snow specific Dual Shock SR Mountain rear suspension is a torsion springless design incorporating an infinitely adjustable FOX® FLOAT® air-shock at the rear arm for reduced weight and limitless tuning capabilities. The specific design and geometry offers excellent transfer with exceptional resistance to bottoming while maintaining consistent track tension throughout its long stroke travel. The open suspension design allows snow to evacuate quickly and easily, eliminating build up and unwanted weight.
