Heard from a dealer that Yamaha has a 160hp Nytro style mountain sled for 2010 that has a worked over apex motor. Said that it has been on the snow testing for three years. Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing? Would be really cool if so and the weight was down a little more.
2010 Rumors
- Thread starter mountain man
- Start date
yeah apex is ready for a revamp

i talked to a testrider i bumped into last year in the black hills riding a prototype nytro. he told me it was 155 hp. i seen the sticker on the tunnel that even proved it was a prototype. he wouldn't let me ride it though. let me ride his apex though. wish he wouldnt have cause i bought one shortly after. who knows though he could have been lying, he didnt really want to tell me much about it though.
I personally hope they don't do away with the Apex chassis completely, I prefer the handling of it to the Nytro. A major diet, and a motor with 180-190 hp to put it inline with Cat's factory turbo would be nice.
If there is any truth to the rumor lets hope a 162 x16 finds its way under it

I'd like to see a 174x16, 10:1 compression option, 1200 cc triple 4 stroke, Nytro type chassis. Better tunnel design.
Be nice to have a sled a guy could simply boost and add a racers edge kit to and done. AND DECENT DRIVERS !! lol
I'd even test it for them !!

Isnt a current Apex with Cr tunnel, turbo,m-10,boss seat and few other parts the ultimate mountain sled already?

That's a smokin deal. Especially if you don't mind a boondocker turbo kit. Nonetheless, that's a far cry from a set up M10 CR Apex. About $10K worth.
You would see it on the hill as well. Those stock skids are worthless under big boost.
Every day I think how I could have four or five of those good deals instead of one sled for the same price..LOL.

I bet whatever it is it will need a diet and a turbo.
