It might have some different looking parts for the use of carbon fibre reinforcement to reduce weight but the chassis is pro cross based, not sure why Yamaha would design a chassis that looks like the pro cross they already have that borrowed, maybe they did not want to let the "Cat" out of the bag sort of speak to what they really have developed and tested to release.okay look at FIG 12 in the patent and tell me where that is on a viper?

looking through those patents. it is 100% based on the arctic cat chassis. the bulk head is the same, a arms, geometry.. everything exempt the triangular support.. that appears to be all new. what's confusing though is it has the arctic cat mountain snowmobile steering column used on the m8000 and the older viper mtx's.. but the seat looks to be the same as the blast seats. my guess would either be yamahas version of the blast or a new mountain sled. But I don't see a point of Yamaha wasting money on making things "lightweight" with all this carbon fiber if there going to use the 3 cylinder four stroke...
Yamaha had built the greatest 2 stoke engine of all time in the banshee race quad... idk why they wouldn't do it again in the snowmobile world

Yup could be another RZ350 or RZ500 in our future. We can only hope! If people think Cat did not have Yamaha influences. On their 2 strokes. Yamaha had windowed pistons as early as 1973. 1973 Yamaha RD350. My 2 cents!
