New 2015 Yamaha Mountain Max???

[Mcx Nytro]

Have not heard anything about their cross plane tech> Just over 200 hp in a triple.

Turbo 850 cross plane triple?

Anyone know what that 850 weighs?

It's rated at 115 hp and 65 lbs/tq NA.

The 850 cross plane triple would fit nice in the phazer chassis with a 16'' track. I bet that would leave a lot on the table future boost factory or not.

iam board not enough snow any rumors,iam going out on a limb & say there is a new mtn sled out there right now in disguise.

Only thing I am hearing that is SOLID is about the new MTX version of the Viper that people have been riding recently.

This is what we will get from Yamaha, Yamacats.
I think the Nytro is the last snowmobile Yamaha has maked.
I dont think we wil see more sleds from Yamaha, think they just will be selling motors from now.
Cat will make the sleds and Yamaha will do the engines.
Now that the Viper continues and sell as well as it does,then I think Yamaha sees that it is more profitable and just sell engines and not create their own models.

Check the history of the first SRX models....and the original Phazer and see where the tech from both of those chassis came from. But here is a hint...it wasn't Yamaha.

History says you are wrong, history says when Yamaha gets too far behind in chassis they "borrow" other tech and improve. We can only hope they do it again.

Our Viper is torn apart in the garage, 38" front end is on and in the process of putting the 153 Powerclaw on it. Not sure if we should call it a Mountain Viper or a Mountain Max?

Campaign to bring back the MOUNTAIN MAX.

I don't think you will have to wait long for the Mountain Max release info.

Quote from supertraxx magazine today. I have a feeling this is aimed towards yamaha.

"Headed to Colorado to ride something new, I've got a pretty good idea what it is and I think all you mountain riders will be pretty excited when it becomes public in March. Wish I could tell you more, 2014 has some cool stuff coming from all the manufactures for both mountain and trail."

Cat tests sleds on Grand Mesa and Doo does R&D out of Grand Lake.

My guestimate is that they are riding something yellow or green this trip.

 

[RMK-King]

If its green it could still be yamaha

Shouldn't that be 2015? And Colorado is one of the few areas that has snow, so it could b anything.

I want them to put a 700 triple two stroke in a modern chassis. And not their chassis, for that matter. I love those motors! Until they do that, I suppose I'll keep blowing up Polaris motors. Oh well.

I still have a 700 triple Mountain Max for a guest sled, love that engine. But I doubt it could ever be made to pass new EPA. However the new Yamaha designed Cat 800 DI might be even better.

Colorado only has worthy snow in the North

I think the Nytro is the last snowmobile Yamaha has made.

Maybe that will make the nytro more valuable and the nypex....well priceless
