Performance


Genesis® 130FI 4-stroke engine: The over-achieving Genesis 130FI engine is the heart of our lightweight, high performance and aggressive FX Nytro model family. It has dominated its class at the Old Forge Shoot-Out 2 years straight, claiming top speed twice and posting the best average ET over 4 runs down the ¼-mile track. The advanced fuel injection keeps the 3-cylinder engine running at maximum 130 horsepower-class performance.


Advanced fuel injection: The Genesis 130FI uses Yamaha's advanced fuel injection system to control fuel flow to the engine. Consumers will enjoy the engine's spot-on performance and throttle response as a result of the advanced electronic fuel injection system.


Engine Braking Reduction System: The Genesis 130FI features the unique Engine Braking Reduction System. The system allows a small amount of air to pass through the fuel injection system when the throttle is released, giving riders a "coast" feeling.


Lightweight rear-exiting exhaust: The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions on the FX Nytro. First, it maximizes horsepower by using a straight exhaust pipe design. Second, it reduces the amount of under-hood heat produced. Third, the rear-exiting design distributes weight to contribute to the excellent balance of the sled.


Forced air radiator ducting: The FX Nytro's airflow design pulls fresh air in from around the headlight and forces it through the radiator fins for high cooling capacity, resulting in consistent engine performance even in low-snow conditions.


15x121x1.25-inch Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track: The Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track is a standard feature on the FX Nytro. It has been widely acclaimed in the industry as the best all-around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and everyday trail usage. The Rip Saw™ track development is the result of a collaborative effort between Yamaha and Camoplast®.


Handling


FXG2 front suspension geometry: The FX Nytro features the acclaimed FXG2 front suspension with more trail and relaxed caster for crisp steering response and confidence-inspiring, flat handling in the corners and through the rough trail.


FX™ chassis with sport rider-forward position: The compact design puts the engine down low and back in the chassis, leaving the top of the cab open for airflow. This gives the FX Nytro a very centralized mass. The FX Nytro's sport rider-forward ergonomic design puts the rider in an aggressive, yet comfortable, forward posture.


Over-the-engine steering: The snocross-proven over-the-engine steering configuration gives the rider excellent posture on the sled. It also allows the engine to be tucked deep into the chassis for optimum balance and mass centralization.


Tall, hooked bars: To match the tall and forward position, a single-piece, dual-hooked handlebar is standard fare on the FX Nytro. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position on the grip.


Composite upper skeleton: The headlight assembly and upper portion of the FX Nytro is supported by a super-lightweight composite framework. By using a rugged, high tech composite material as the structure for the top portion of the sled, Yamaha engineers were able to keep the mass centered low and deep in the chassis.


Lightweight tunnel: The FX Nytro features a lightweight tunnel design. With the runningboards tipped up at an aggressive 11-degree angle, the FX Nytro delivers big ground clearance for rough trail capability. The new design also features large snow evacuation and boot gripper punch outs. The lightweight tunnel was developed on the Pro Open snocross race sled.


Comfort


Dual Shock™ CK rear suspension: The race-proven Dual Shock CK rear suspension is the culmination of four years of development, testing, racing and redevelopment to produce the ultimate big bump rear suspension. The FX Nytro's rear suspension is engineered to handle the deep pits and big moguls you'll find in the ditches and trails. The rear shock uses a compression-adjusting clicker on its remote reservoir to allow owners to tune the setup to their liking. In addition to this, the FX Nytro receives a new rear-rear shock calibration providing more rider comfort while still maintaining its rough trail performance.


40mm compression-adjusting clicker shock: The Dual Shock CK rear suspension is fitted with a 40mm HPG shock with a remote reservoir and compression clicker on the rear arm and an aluminum-body HPG shock on the front arm. The shocks' 14mm rods are very rugged for rough trail usage. The clicker shock allows owners to dial in their rear suspension to their liking.


GYTR™ dual-clicker front shocks: Lightweight premium GYTR dual-clicker shocks offer riders the highest level of tunability on the market with 12 clicks of compression AND 20 clicks of rebound damping. Large, glove-friendly knobs make adjustments easy. The piggyback reservoir gives the shock increased fade resistance in periods of intense use.


Wheels with removable bearings: The newly designed wheels make the ride smooth and make maintenance easy. Now when the bearings need to be replaced you don't have to purchase a whole new wheel, just remove the old bearings and insert the new ones. The wheels also include a new spoke design and a rubber rim that make for a comfortable riding experience. This new design will be implemented on the rear large wheels as well as the internal smaller wheels.


Sculpted narrow seat: The FX Nytro has a narrow seat for added comfort. In addition to putting the rider in a tall, forward, attack posture, the seat's height makes it plush and comfortable for a full day of riding. The narrow seat sits atop the beveled tunnel, which allows the track to be a traditional 15 inches wide, to maximize traction.


New grip warmers: The FX Nytro receives new, redesigned grip warmers for 2010. These new grip warmers deliver a more concentrated heat source rather than spreading the warmth out. The result is a much warmer grip for your hand's most comfortable riding position. In addition, an insulator has been inserted between the heating element and handlebar to retain heat longer and more efficiently.


Digital gauge: The digital gauge displays key information at a glance. Vehicle speed is displayed on a large LCD readout either in miles or kilometers per hour. In addition, the rider can select tachometer, odometer or tripmeter data to appear on the secondary readout. The gauge also displays system warning lights, fuel level, and warmer intensity.


Quick-release, single-piece hood/console shroud:


The FX Nytro has a single-piece hood and console shroud. The design allows owners to open and close the top portion of the sled easily with Dzus® quick-connect fasteners.


New graphic packages: The FX Nytro comes in two graphic packages; white/blue as well as Yamaha black. These awesome designs produce one of the best looking sleds on the snow.
