2020 Yamaha Viper L-TX GT Walk Around & First Impressions

[@bikermike]

A great all around sled, that has a motor that will give you many many miles!

[@bedlambikes]

These 2020 Walk Around videos are the best thing going from SnowTrax! Please do one on the 6000R-XC since Cat is going "mainstream" with it now.

[@snowtrax]

Thank you! Glad you like the format. We'll continue to evolve the delivery.

[@leonidesbungwalter8989]

Pre-ordered one today, can't wait till next season!

[@jadosa29]

Nice looking sled 👍. I’m not a huge 4 stroke fan but this is one of the few I’d consider. Great engine. It’s a shame Cat dropped the 7000 though because of the ski issue and typically there is better pricing on the Cats. Yamahas around here usually go for close to MSRP

[@camaro69green31]

That is one great looking sled and the "Triple" on the tunnel is cool. A little throw back to the triple 2 strokes..... The mill in these sleds really is one sweet motor. Smooooth and torkyyyy….I love it.

[@garyscott5158]

I think it's time for Yamaha to address it's diminishing loyal followers and come clean on their future in snowmobiling. No more avoiding the issue. Questions like "Will they design and build their own sleds without Arctic Cat?" should be answered. Each time Yamaha posts on Facebook, it becomes riddled with user comments ridiculing them and their "Yamaha sleds". It has to drive Yamaha executives nuts with all the negative comments. Yamaha's snowmobile division is truly an embarrassment. Such a large company with no vision or desire to succeed. Hopefully, Supertrax will interview some Yamaha execs soon and ask them direct questions, or better yet answer questions from the Yamaha faithful. We are tired of "hoping" for a game breaking sled from Yamaha each year only to be let down year after year.

If I were buying a 2020 sled, this would probably be the one.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Hey it actually has a Windsheild...

[@shperax]

Only $25,000. Its sure priced to sell all 5 units they made for 2020.

[@460sw3]

Cool looking sled

[@MBTUE]

Price is $16,599.00 CDN MSRP

[@brucefredrickson9677]

Very nice sled. I am a serious buyer for 2022 model year (nothing available for 2021 without snowcheck) and will have to see what changes if any happen. I had a 2006 Polaris FST and really liked it despite the dated chassis. I would consider Skidoo 4-stroke except their drive by wire throttle is getting lousy reviews...too jumpy and laggy at times.

[@VonSpud]

Sharp looks

[@MBTUE]

Are the handle bars and riser adjustable ?

[@jclar3565]

I'm sorry I've been riding snowmobiles for 20 years but I still don't understand this whole in season Snow Check whatever the hell people who can't wait for the snowmobile terminology. Or maybe I'm just not Canadian enough

[@Postofficejoe]

If you order one in the summer, they toss extras in, graphic package, better shocks, choice of track..etc. sometimes 300 for in store purchases...? .. ..Snow Check.!

[@lusurama5080]

I wonder what the difference between this and the most similar arctic cat is? Why choose one over the other

[@karlbullock2907]

Cat has dropped 4 strokes with exception of the Thunder Cat.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I am guessing 1049 cc's ? is that the 130 HP class ?

[@AllajchaSibir]

Snowcheck, end season package, mid season package...geez, come on, just give me a catalog to choose from. This is getting rediculous. It's 2019, built to order is commonplace now, why is the sled market lagging behind?

[@86dieselman]

Why does it look like a red Arctic Cat?

[@big_whiskey1387]

86dieselman arctic cat chassis bro

[@heatmoon]

Turn the key off and don't forget to hit the kill switch too. Might keep running after the key is turned off. Personal stories and things I can see btpy looking at it. Yep, it's 2tone red.

Real windshield, nice storage bag, 12V outlet, heated shield outlet, heated seat. All things I have to pay extra through the nose for on my 2 'Doos, SMH.

[@dominator286]

Falling in holes, finger over the camera lens, not remembering the specs of the item you are reviewing....I hope SnowTrax didn’t pay for this review.

[@461tamike6]

Will be close to 140 after 1500-2000 miles.....

[@ebsell]

In bad need of a hp increase, needs to be 150hp

[@qapsukalek]

Drove my bros viper friggen junk compared to my ski doo iron dog 600 edition

[@nate199813]

Yeah ok bud. Sled is faster than your 600 btw. And I'll be waving when I go by with 10,000 miles and no engine work required. Oh yeah dont forget to bring oil xD

[@ebsell]

RaceME the Viper is NOT a fast sled. The old Vector with the same engine was faster.

[@nate199813]

@@ebsell I know that. I ride a nytro and I've race a couple vipers and blistered them. And I've raced 600s and beat them even worse. Not saying a viper is way faster but it will beat a 600 any day

[@stud3737]

RaceME good one

[@TOUCTI]

@@ebsellThat's not true, I had a 2010 Vector GT before changing it to a 2016 SR VIPER LTX, despite a track of 137'' for the Viper vs. a 120'' for the Vector, the VIPER is just as fast and better balanced (skiing often lifted with the Vector which is not the case with the Viper , and I have no problem competing against a Nytro and leaving it behind, there are also some videos 'vs' of the two on ''you tube'') I do not regret my choice, and it's really reliable.

[@susanhenderson2322]

One of the worst presented reviews ever, yes yes yes. Think about what you want to say so you dont have to keep saying yes.

[@Derek-b8q]

Why don't you try making a video?

[@matthewfurlotte1316]

@@Derek-b8q shes here to watch it. not to make it. her point is valid

[@brucefredrickson9677]

I think the biggest mistake is when the reviewer tries to hold their own camera/video. Pay someone $10 to do it for you.
