New "1050 Phazer" to be anounced soon at snow x ra

[DaveRX1]

I have been told that Yamaha will show the public the production version of the new snow cross racer (pre production not the current racer) at an upcomming snow X race. I have been told that the sled will have Phazer roots and a 1050 CC fuel injected version of the 973 triple. The sled is said to have 130 hp and MONGO tourque.

I also heared that Mountain Performance allready has one of these sleds and is working on the supercharger kit for it as we read this.

I feel that my source is telling me the truth! We will see soon!

I was kinda getting Myself prepared for a tripple? I really want to see the specs on the thing. hopefully they have it coming in less weight than what I think its going to weigh. I personally don't want just different ergos than the vector/nytro. I want at least 50 lbs lighter than the current 120 hp class offering.

Same here! I want a 600 pounds full of gas sled from Yamaha with 120+ HP!

The Yamaha model year release date and the race in New York at the Turning Stone might be about the same time.

If Yamaha release is the 5th of Feb then you might see the preview at the Turning Stone races the 10th-11th.

As one of the biggest avocates for the 750 Tripple and why it would be better than the existing 973, the 1050 is the only other engine I see Yammie using. There is no way they would try to be competitive with a 973 when they are allowed 1050. So my guess it's probably the 1050 Tripple, that is what makes a lot of sense. It would have great torque should be able to make close to 100 lbs..

They're allowed 1050? I thought the limit was 1000cc for the four strokes?

 

[Ike]

1050cc is the limit, without gear reduction.

Guys, see my post in the General Yamaha discussion titled "FX Nytro spotted..." - I saw what I am sure is the sled you are talking about on the trails over the weekend near Saxon.

130 h.p. sled with the same weight as the phazer fx would be awesome

The same weight ? Not very likely I guess. ..

Hopefully it's within 30 lb's. If it is I'll be happy.
