2023 Yamaha SX Venom Mountain

Description:

Yamaha’s Venom Mountain offers new riders a better chance to enjoy the altitude. The compact fuel-injected 397cc two-stroke engine and lightweight chassis make the Venom Mountain more than capable of exploring that next bowl. Venom Mountain also gets the same Mountain Single Beam skid frame as the Mountain Max with the single pivot, single rail design allowing the 146-inch footprint to go anywhere, anytime. Electric start, reverse and high & low hand warmers give you all the features of a big sled in a nimble lighter package.

Features:

COMFORT

• Almost a thing of the past, having a modern snowmobile with the weight of a 30-year-old fan-cooled sled opens the door for a whole new era in snowmobiling function and fun.
• A simple push of a button causes the engine to restart in reverse. The audible 'back-up' beeper indicates the reverse system is engaged and continues to beep until the button is pushed again to restart the engine in its forward direction. A simple, lightweight and efficient way to back out of a tight situation.
• Standard handlebar and throttle lever warmers are included.
• The large 10.6-gallon / 40.1-liter fuel capacity coupled with the frugal demand of the mid-sized, EFI engine, means extended operating range for the Mountain Venom.
• Turnkey electric starter combined with electronic fuel injection provides quick and reliable ignition in all conditions.
• The four-inch 'race' screen is just enough to deflect the snow away from the console.
• The seat design offers easier transition from seated to standing. Side-to-side movement is also made easier with its tapered sides to aid in maneuverability both on- and off-trail.
• Twin-tube shocks provide ample adjustment and ride comfort.

HANDLING

• The lightweight Yamaha Mountain Ski delivers everything you want in a deep snow ski. Its seven-inch wide footprint enhances flotation and actively lifts the sled’s nose up on plane in deep powder. Traction lugs on the top of the ski give you a sure foothold when the situation gets really gnarly. The single keel design delivers light steering effort yet confident and predictable handling on hard pack and in fresh fluff.
• The 4.5-inch riser block positions the hooked end bars with mountain strap within easy reach whether seated or standing.
• Derived from the sleek SRV-M front suspension, this lightweight design is ultra-compact to reduce unwanted spindle and suspension component drag in deep snow. The neutral stance allows for great maneuverability in tight terrain along with predictable manners on the trail. The lightweight, forged aluminum spindles join the widely spaced upper and lower control arms producing a large caster angle for tight turning and ease of steering.
• The lightweight running boards are designed to shed snow and are serrated to give good hold when standing for confident maneuverability.

PERFORMANCE

• The power valve system tunes the exhaust port opening based on RPM to ensure maximum torque and fuel efficiency across the power band.
• Electronic fuel injection provides efficient fuel delivery to the cylinder based on engine RPM for maximum torque and response. The computerized fuel injection ensures reliable cold weather starting, maximum fuel range with low exhaust gas emissions
• The CVTech Trail Bloc drive clutch and Invance driven clutch system provides reliable, low temperature operation with wide-ratio performance. The small diameter main bearing allows the belt to sit lower in the primary, for a super low first gear. This also creates a wider ratio transmission through the secondary pulley, to efficiently pull every pony out of the compact engine.
• The strong Hayes hydraulic 'Stealth' brake master-cylinder is equipped with a composite Stealth brake lever and lightweight caliper to provide great modulation for better feel and powerful stopping performance.
• The compact power plant weighs in under 50 pounds packing a mighty punch with its class leading horsepower-to-weight ratio.
• With alloy bulkhead and tunnel heat exchangers, the engine stays cool when things heat up.

TOP FEATURES

• MOUNTAIN SINGLE BEAM SUSPENSION: The long 12-inch travel rear suspension features a lightweight single-rail design for easy directional change with exceptional carving ability in the deep and steep. The advanced skid frame features a single pivot at the midpoint of the rail which runs down the center line of the track. The single rail is over 10 pounds lighter by design and doesn't trap snow compared to conventional dual-rail suspensions keeping the sled much lighter in real-world conditions.
• YAMAHA MOUNTAIN SKI: The lightweight Yamaha Mountain Ski delivers everything you want in a deep snow ski. Its seven-inch-wide footprint enhances flotation and actively lifts the sled’s nose up on plane in deep powder. Traction lugs on the top of the ski give you a sure foothold when the situation gets really gnarly. The single keel design delivers light steering effort, yet confident and predictable handling on hard pack and in fresh fluff.
• DIGITAL GAUGE: A compact digital gauge gives the rider speed, RPM, fuel level, hours and distance at a glance. There are also light indicators to warn against any oil or engine temperature issues.
