That looks like a finished production ready sled. There was another mentioning that it is a 1050 EFI with 130 hp, which makes sense to me. It was either that or the 750 Tripple, the 973 just wouldn't cut it.
Here is a good link to Yamaha's site with more pictures of the new race sled and the victory. They mention that the new sled does have a Phazer basd FX chassis.

It sure does look like the tunnel is closed up on that sled!!
Has anyone noticed if this is cooled like an apex or like the phazer?

sled looks really nice. I hope it goes into production this year, because my Yamaha card is waiting to order it. We'll have to wait and see how much better it does after team Yamaha gets it completely dialed in.

As you can se in one of the pictures from Maxsled, (The one from insidae the trailer) In the back of the sled there is a (spare sled) with no panels on and it looks like it has a cooler on top of the engine, Right under the handlebars...
The racer from last year that Granberg rode in Sweden had an aircooler so there will probobly be on the produktionsled aswell.... Like the Phazer but maybe in a different place???

It looks very finished,, i really believe that is a future Yamaha ditch banger.

Robbie won! Let's see what all the naysayers have now. I believe if you beef up the power and suspension on the phazer, it is unquestionably the best sled ever produced. Now we ride not drive.

Remember, it's winning the second race that is always the hardest.
Some of the other guys that were chasing and gaining on Malinoski ended up with mechanical issues (i.e. Ross Martin) just before they got into trading paint with the Yammie. The same hard luck was experienced by Malinoski the day before when he bent his handlebars.
I really hope he can pull off a second win, then two stroke sales will really start to flop. Let's face it, that's really the only remaining "dominant" frontier for two strokes in our industry - snocross. If four strokes can win in that category too, what reason remains to own a two stroke???
I guess now we know why Yamaha re-entered snocross!
