Yamaha Cutting Production for 2019

[Tarzan]

I still think the 850 wolverine motor is was purpose built to find its way into a sled beings that transmission was not integrated into the motor like previous side by sides. Just a hunch I have.

They could have an N/A version for entry level, and hopped up version with the factory turbo package. They have the turbo tech figured out for the winder, so why not use it on other models.

Yepp,a new phazer is coming and maybe with this i gess

What if they use a single rail rear suspension and the articulating front suspension tech they have????

The two would seem to make an interesting combination. With an articulated front end, there needs to be some lateral play in the rear and the single rail would be a way to provide that.
Had an interesting experience last weekend with the wife on a Vector trying to go around a groomer stuck (abandoned) on a steep hill. There was just enough room to get around it but it sloped off pitching the sled to the right and off the trail. Not a big issue for an experienced sledder but a confidence destroyer for a nearly first time rider. I think this is where an articulated front end could shine by keeping the chassis more level.

That single rail is a Holz skid, came out around 2009 I think.
