They have not given actual Dyno number but have put it into the 180HP range. I am hearing its above that from sources... but until we get a production model and get it dynoed its only speculation.

That is what I was figuring being that most 800 two cycles are within the 180-185 hp range.

Take 30 HP off those 800 figures and you'd be spot on!

800 2STROKES are not 180-185

 

[walter]

Well what is it then? I think my buddy with a cat 800 had like 160horse or something stock..

It's 160 stock then. Sidewinder is 180 stock.

Cat turbo is 185 I assume this motor is its replacement so right around there.

 

[walter]

Maybe I meant 160 then, haha idk guys give me a break

Cat says 180 hp in their engine vid.

From AmSnow:
The new 3-cylinder Genesis Turbo should pump out around 195+ ponies according to Yamaha, who stated its goal was the first 200-hp production sled. Although Yamaha dynos say they might be short of the 200-hp mark, the new Sidewinder sleds claim the highest power-to-weight ratio in the industry, as much as 30% higher than the next closest 800cc competitor (Polaris Pro-RMK 800).

The SideWinder has a built in roll over valve so you can turn the thing upside down and have zero issues. I will try and get you a picture later.

Here is a picture of the roll over valve system that allows the sled to be on its hood without puking oil.
