'10 Nytro MTX SE whata ya know??

[Mtn. missle]

Just read a report in AM SNo on Yamaha's new mtn. sled, I think I like what I see and read. Have any of you test rode? any thoughts on the improvements; 18* approach angle, wider front (not sure I like that) new tunnel taper? I assume the genesis 130 means 130hp or not? thinking of switching over to two extra strokes and this might be the sled.

I thought there would be tons of posts about the new nytro????

I rode it on the weekend and it impressed me. Really smooth! I have always like the Apex better, but the new Nytro felt really good.

Hey Rip, how did the power/torque feel like. Did you get to put'er up a hill or two.

Someday in the next year or so I'll need to retire the 00' MM 700, it's tired. I'm thinking about the Nytro, I've read good things about it.

I'm all for hp's, fun, etc., but I have also liked my Yammy's reliability. I've added pipes and other small stuff and taken off a bunch of weight, and 156" track, but that's it. I've pulled the rope and rode the old sled without much trouble.

I need something that I can ride out of the box and no wrenching on the trails or in the wood.

First question, does the Nytro out of the box have enough gitty-up to over come the weight?

Second, is adding a turbo the only way to go on these? If so, $15k later and I'm on the snow. In the mean time, I could have purchased 2 - slightly used M8's or RMK's or Doo's 2 strokes.

I've seen the Nytro turbo in action personally. Unstoppable. But man, the money to get into these is high.

I've modded my Nytro pretty much the way the 2010 is coming out, probably 40 lbs lighter than the stock 2010 but you'll be able to shed 30 lbs for under $300 bucks I figure. Anyways that all said my Nytro completley lays the smack on my buddies piped 00 Mtn Max, like not even close so I think you would be pretty happy on one. Read lots but you'll find the weight thing is no big deal its so well balanced. With an Excell header and exhaust you are at 148 horse or there abouts give or take with gobs of torque. Try one.
