2015 Viper R-TX LE

[snowman4]

In the Spec section on the Yamaha web site it says Dual shock SR 129 Race.

Do you think its the same rear suspension as the Arctic Cat ZR 8000 RR?

In the pics it looks like the standard 129 Sno Pro or R-TX SE suspension. The shocks are not the same s Cat's RR but that can always be changed.

I was going to buy a RR but I want another 4 stroke! This new 2015 R-TX LE in White/Blue, 1.7 inch track, Fox EVOL up front is AWESOME!!!! But i hope to God it has the RR's rear skid.

The 1.7 inch track should be offered in both colors too, not just white/blue.

It don't look like the RTX LE has the same skid as the RR. The RR has clickers and reservoirs. And the LE looks like it has the same as the SE.

I think it is. Shock package may be diff. Looks like they want a race ready sled from the factory and I'm very happy to see that

Specs say it is the rr even fox rear clickers. Even tuner skis! Looks like I should have waited exact sled I wanted.

The RR has reinforced skid and way different shocks. It looks like the SE skid to me. But I hope it is bad #*$&@! Would like to see Yamaha back in sno cross and win some races. Or just win some races period!

im pumped about this sled! have been waiting a year from them to announce the 15's as i thought the 14's would have some problems ( although they had very very few IMO).! love the white/yamaha blue and am really liking the shock package in the le as well!!

The 2013 rr skid was reinforced not the 2014. I know because my brother had a '13 rr.

I know Yamaha had strengthened the rails but I do not know if it's enough to not be reinforced but it's possable. And just because they bolted in diff shocks into the skid doesn't mean it's not the same parts otherwise.

I really like this model as well. However, I would be leaning towards the blue/orange w/1.25" Ripsaw II track. One area of worry for me is this....the Fox Evols seems to be mounted in a position where the adjustment on top of the reservoir comes in contact with the panel on each side leaving bad impressions in the plastic. I'm sure over time this will wear through. I wonder if Yamaha/Cat has addressed this on the RR's/LE's.

I like this model as well, and the orange and blue looks sweet to me.

Cannondale, I feel your pain. The White and Blue LE is exactly what I want in a sled. Somewhat upset that they came out with exactly what I wanted a year later.

They better have RTX LE W/B at the demo rides or they will loose a potential buyer.
