finally something new,have been waiting for this for so long.If Yamaha are going to continue with snowmobile 4 stroke engines they need to boost the HP and lighten the chassis to make themselfes competitors to light 2 strokes.handling is everything and it is were Yamaha have been left behind by other brands.I really hope for this one...
Less work means you make it around the corner. Less work means more fun. Means more faster on corners. Means you're less likely to not get stuck off trail. Couch potatoes don't ever get on snowmobiles.
When I first heard it was a 998 turbo I was thinking it was the sled of my dreams...., with the apex 4 cylinder engine in the new chassis and a turbo....please make that sled...this is still a very cool sled but I'm alittle disappointed.
No snowsnakes please, can't tell people I've pranked that there's actual sidewinders stuck somewhere in the snow. LED looks cool but I wouldn't brag about 800cc performance leaders, if I ran a 998cc Turbo 4-stroke... Just sayin'
Yamaha needs to work on their video making skills. I see a lot of trail riding, not much for actually testing the sleds in the mountains..👎🏻 I tried Yamaha for a couple seasons and was only disappointed with it. Wouldn't go back.

998 cc, intercooled turbo is 800 class? maybe when you figure in the weight
Any pics of how the cooling system is run on these?
why do the front end seem to be twitching around in just about every shot?
Yamaha is starting to hit closer to the bulls eye. But like another poster said below the weight needs to be shaved to make it more fun and less work.
less work is for people who are couch potatoes. lol

Spidermann
murray gonovan so true great power but to heavy there dam fast i been riding yamaha all my life 35 years love that brand
the fastest sled I've ever seen
Did they fix the gear ratio?
200hp and no gear to use.105mph is brick wall fast.
this looks promising
Cool ... Bank finance are drooling
I know that 998cc engine already pulls hard NA
Hell yes!
Hopefully not a belt blower like the cat turbos of recent years....
+20carrocks it wont be its a yamaha, not a cat motor.

in the 80's yamaha's were the best, now too hard for maintenance and fuel economy isn't that great.... way to heavy. overall they suck.
how about a new apex please I love my but it's getting dated
Mon achat pour la saison 2016/2017!!!
they should just give up, a turbo doesn't help the weight or the twitchy front end.
Tony Peressini all the snowmobiles I ever ridden has a twitchy front end, stock skis and aftermarket skis don't help

Sad.. I've yet to see what the sled is capable of doing? Just some flat lines and trails eh boys? What a joke.
+DJ Osborne Yes. I agree... Would like to see some sidehill climbing!
if your cryin about weight you cant handle this kind of power, get a doo freestyle, learn how to ride then get a winder
Sidewinder seriously!! What a stupid name Yamaha you need to come up with something better than that!!
To Late now.
haha yamaha is not freindly just fast
Junk... there is a reason that Yamaha only has 3% of the snowmobiling market.
