I'm pretty sure the subframes are square tubing instead of round which well help with strength.

They are and also have alot of bracing in the subframe, a lot of triangulating and solid plating, not just gussets. Oh, and its lighter, not a lot but it is. The arms are way lighter!
 
They spread out the mounting points for the a arms on the sub frame a bunch. Looks like the a arms weigh 1/2 of stock.
 
I'd really like to see the subframe...and how much better or stronger it is than the production stuff.
 
I think that pic is of the Gen 1 design, and the pic is of their hillclimb sled ... hence the reason for no front bumper and no swaybar. They are both (hill climb and cross country) now running a Gen 2 design. I have no idea what the difference is and doubt we could tell just by looking at it. But the sway bar on the cross crountry sled actually runs above the lower a-arm instead of below like the current production sled.
 
I don't know why they didn't just put a price tag of $9000 on it so they could really make some money on it! At $8300 they are probably just breaking even. lol

The design looks great! Yamaha must have looked at what all there competitors were doing to increase there handeling.
 
its coming....... 2014 or 2015 nytro update release is my guess. I def want it on my ride!
