My pick would be XTX, if it had power steering. But until it does, 137 with EPS would be my trail sled choice.
Called one place today for a Riot 9000. $23,999 out the door. It was a hard pass. I realize gone are the days of discounted toys, but the price gouging is ridiculous. 18 months from now when we're in a deep recession prices will be reset. For now it's a LTX LE for me.
Well one year later and Yamaha has given us an XTX equipped with EPS. I'm really on the fence with this decision. I think if I go with the XTX I will swap out the track for a 1.25" Rip II so I can stud it without have to go with ridiculously long studs on the Cobra 1.60"

I see a new 2024 RIOT here going for $17,999 no freight and no setup. A 10 mile private party 2024 Thundercat sell for $17,500 near us. See another new 24 Thundercat selling for 18,900 no freight and setup at a close dealer.
My buddy is on the road right now to go get a 2023 SRX with 18 miles on it for $17,500 I found him. I should have bought that one myself!
Have a 22 Thundercat nearby with less than 200 miles the guy is asking $16K. There are lots of deals to be had out there right now if you look enough Steve.
Yeah Mike look at the time stamp on that post. That was last year and with this past season of zero snow i think everybody is panicking. We all know it's not going to be this way every year because every year is different, but with that said a 9000 Riot is my back up plan at this point. I'm going to wait and see if they can even get parts for my 24 LTX, but even if it gets fixed i wouldn't mind having the 146' to use when and if the snow gets deep.
For now my brain is down here enjoying summer like weather

- '25 Sidewinder XTX LE w/EPS
'23 Sidewinder LTX LE w/EPS
I pulled the trigger on the last day to get a '25 XTX LE w/EPS. I really wanted the power steering and was super happy to see Yamaha add it for '25. I figured I will give it a try and see how I like it as it looks like it is going to be a really fun sled. I'll still keep my '23 LTX LE w/EPS and have my son drive that one when he rides, otherwise, it will be super nice to have a choice.
Congrats, I was looking to get my hands on an 25' XTX LE this year , but my dealer wasn't allocated any because the previous years orders did not include any XTX orders.
Well as luck would have it, the parts to repair the 24' are on backorder with no ETA in site. I think the writing is on the wall and I'm not willing to get left out in the snow... Without a ride. So today I picked up a 25 XTX LE. And so it begins......Another sled build.
