Apex XTX for 2011

[ApexRtxGuy]

even if any of this speculation is true all any one would do if they did a factory charger of some sort is B#$% about the price....no body is ever happy anymore.

mabie they adapted the fj 1300 bike eng to a sled chassis

Too heavy and not enough HP. They would be better off with the actual R1 engine.

Newer R1...BIG TIME!!!

From snowmobile.com -

"We just think that Yamaha will phase out this (Apex) model as it creates a top of the line Nytro-based groomed trail cruiser. We bet that Yamaha’s next hot rod trail cruiser will be lighter, quicker, more innovative and maybe minus the quad cylinder engine. Let’s see how we do with our guessing."

Ok, I totally don't understand going away from the 4cyl. What is with the huge three cyl Yammie and Doo? The bikes are 4cyl down to 500cc. And they have been for decades. There must be a good reason for that. I'd like to see a 600cc and 750cc 4cyl sled just like in the bikes. And a nice 200hp 1200cc at the top of the line. 3 cylinders is just plain odd! When's the last time you saw a high perf 3cyl car engine??

Yam will need a LOT of confincing to keep me on their side of the fence!!! if they drop the 4 BANGER! I guess it'll be time to move on...or run my '08 to the ground...

This is what I've been hearing, also....... Faster/higher HP Apex XTX.

 

[SledFreak]

From what i have heard is that it will be a "rated" 160hp, but have a true hp of 168-170, just like the Nytro and new RS vector GT. Meaning way more hp, then the number being displayed.

 

[04rxw10]

I heard the release date of first week in Feb HMMMM.......
Could we be lucky enought to have Yamaha in Muni during the TY ride?????????
Could we be the first ones to see the new sleds as well as ride them?????
Only time will tell............

 

[NyTrOMaNIaC]

Yamaha meeting for dealers in Canada is first week of Feb. Info about this new sled will be released then. My dealer said it's definitely a replacement for the Apex, but knew nothing else.
