2022 Yamaha Snowmobiles - Full Line Overview | VLOG #18

[@aswan2140]

I'm still on my 2005 Warrior, still one of the best sleds around. Come on Yamaha, we are all waiting!

[@sixramsalot]

same here

[@Brobro449]

love how the mountain max is exactly the same as the alpha ones

[@tjomay2107]

Omg, this is embarrassing. This lineup is a disaster just like the cat 2022's. Nothing new, yamacat is now a full decade behind ski-doo and polaris. And eps on a sidewinder? Really? Thats the last thing it needs. Listen to your customers before its to late.

[@JLswatchthis]

Its pretty much too late. Everyone has jumped ship and limely wont be looking back until a pure yamaha is released

[@JLswatchthis]

Us real tried and true yamaha faithful have either jumped ship or still ride old yammy iron. Build us a pure yamaha sled and we will come back in swarms

[@foxmeadfellon]

Cool the 2012 cats are out 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@MBTUE]

EPS was a great upgrade on the Apex and Vector. It works flawlessly .

[@samuelfink1619]

cool you guys make the sidewinder. Oh wait, don’t forget the alpha! Give us some variety. Stick with the kitty chassis for some things, and then make your own sled too. The sidewinder is a cool sled but it can’t be the only damn sled you make

[@motoshark5847]

I think Vector owners may have been hoping EPS would find its way into the viper. Not everyone wants or needs 200+ HP. We will be holding on to our Vectors and stacking the miles on them.

[@jessefarquhar3188]

Yamaha needs to re-design the engine mounting so that it no longer mounts to the heat exchanger. That is a crazy amount of stress put on the heat exchanger. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I had to change mine on my old sr viper

[@hworkmaniv88]

Come and see our.... BOLD....... NEW...... GRAPHICS! and power steering. :'(

[@michaelschuppe7769]

WOW....I was let down a bit here, was hoping for a trail sled in the 600/800 2 stroke area. This sucks.

[@logantyler9760]

Me too. Very disappointed. I was really hoping yamaha would put put a good 2 stroke trail sled.

[@rickcollins7172]

5 visits to skidoo dealers looking for oil on a 7 day bag trip reminded why two strokes suck. 20 mph slower too. Leave two strokes in the mtns where they belong

[@jasondow467]

Let me start by saying that I've bled blue all my life and I for one do love the throwback SRX graphics as it reminds me of a time when Yamaha cared... Because in all honesty there is absolutely nothing new here for full sized riders... 77 graphics, 2011 power steering and a 2012 chassis. (For context: I still own an 11 Apex XTX and 2001 Srx 700 and would never part ways with either) An all yamaha 2 stroke (849cc +) wrapped in an all new frame is the only way back to the top and we all know Yamaha has the technology... Why are Polaris and BRP selling so many sleds? Because the commentary given to them is applied to the product almost immediately and they update their chassis and engine every +/- 4 years. Yamaha simply doesn't care anymore has let profit overtake passion ... What a shame ...

[@Just.124]

I completely agree, its sad to see profit take over the passion. Without that passion that technology is useless

[@philswift2.038]

Give them some time but I do agree at least they put the eps in some of the sleds

[@samuelfink1619]

@@philswift2.038 i’m givin’ em a few years yet, but snowmobiling won’t last too much longer. Winters are shorter, there’s less snow, and snowmobiling is getting more expensive. I really hope they give us something good in my lifetime

[@samuelfink1619]

2001 srx is one of my dream sleds. Hopefully finding a clean one this summer. I bleed blue too, but this is really disappointing

[@MrPALEHORSERIDER]

Another problem is there are hardly any sleds making to the dealers. It’s December shitty time to have an empty yard

[@shperax]

You're still out to lunch with the prices Yamaha. You're not the only reliable 4 strokes in the market any more by a long shot. Ski-doo is king and Polaris is nearly ready to enter that market and you better be ready to handle that. You can't keep increasing the price gap anymore as sales numbers go down. Do something before it's too late.

[@nighttrain3926]

ur dreamin🤣 u pay for what u get

[@matthewandrews4448]

so over 20 grand Canadian or more for bold new graphics and EPS on some models..........nah don't think so........still content riding my 2008 Apex RTX and 2010 BRP Summit XRS 800R 154" for the powder.....if I ever get another Yamaha, probably gonna be on the proaction chassis between 1997-2005 sporting a 700 triple like the SRX, Mountain Max, SXR, Sx Viper or Vmax

[@nighttrain3926]

had all thise sled except the poo, u need to try a winder that apex is a dinosaur, i rode one for 13 years , on a winder u got unlimited power and actually have a suspension that works

[@BeyondResolution]

looking good.. but no MTX? :( When both Polaris and Ski Doo have turbo 2 strokes it would be nice to still have that 4stroke turbo mountain sled :)

[@jordancaleb5790]

i was disappointed when they stopped the MTX in North America as well. But its the markets fault. Every time I go to Revy with my MTX all anyone ever says is "ohh 4stroke hey.. heavy!"

[@BeyondResolution]

@@jordancaleb5790 it's only heavy for weak people! ;)

[@jordancaleb5790]

@@BeyondResolution MTX.. Not for the faint of heart! its weight needs to be respected but no one realizes the power to weight ratio is way better!

[@sledfam3659]

Let me know when you get a more forward ride position. Currently on a 21 900T. Will give you a shot. When you update the ride position.

[@scottjohnson2175]

I test drove EPS years back and I'm not sure I like how I couldn't feel the trail anymore. I couldn't feel if I was hooking up in the corners, that's feedback I want. Of course, I didn't ride it long enough (it was a test ride event) to know if that feeling is learned elsewhere.

[@MrBigbennybang]

Were is the new platform and new gauges .....

[@truckingoover]

Decade old Cat chassis....cool 👍

[@3cutekidz]

storage in rear---could we have a look at it ? could you start the sled ? thanks

[@biffdotorg]

Yeah! Let's hear it for Chris Reid!! Good to see you again buddy!

[@krankysledzz]

Don’t know what your smoking dude. But I want some. Must be good stuff if your seeing Chris Reid.

[@biffdotorg]

@@krankysledzz Chris has appeared in most every launch video since leaving sled talk. Minute 16:25 in the utility sled section. Just try to tell me that’s not Chris and I will show you someone that never read every word that man graced us with in the old sled talk

[@krankysledzz]

@@biffdotorg looks like you could be right. It be nice to see him back with input into sleds again. But that’s only a dream. Haven’t payed much attention to Yamaha Since they left Japan Just can’t see them glory days ever comming back .

[@biffdotorg]

@@krankysledzz I hear ya. Notice he’s in the section where the one and only true Japanese sled still exists. Long live my Apex XTX please

[@Johnrider1234]

Yamaha needs to bring back the 300. The 340. The 440. The arc. The vmax

[@calebgeorge9795]

Mountain max alpha 1?

[@johnpower5526]

Would be very nice to have a sidewinder with a wide track Very nice utility sled I would order it tomarrow haha

[@firdous.bhatsonamarg7080]

Can we buy

[@adaminthemitten8940]

Talk about underwhelming

[@scottc9303]

What happened with the Sidewinder MTX?

[@heybubbah]

Only available in Euro markets

[@perryanthony]

Would love to see Yamaha follow in Polaris’s steps in regards to the dash. No reason why all brands aren’t running a touchscreen dash with map packs. Especially since Yamaha’s sleds are majority trail sleds.

[@firdous.bhatsonamarg7080]

This is for sale

[@Johnrider1234]

Have a stx sidewinder gt.

[@trinitysolutionsoffroad7623]

Guess I'm keeping my miled out sidewinder MTX until yamaha offers something that will out perform it. Looks like skidoo is working on it though! Lol

[@Mostromstunt]

Brp made a good 2022 launch with Lynx and more features, polariz with a big release but yamaha and arctic just did nothing...

[@martinflembo]

I can’t believe they got rid of the best color combination of blue and white!! RIP SRX

[@philswift2.038]

My question is when will the eps come with the viper

[@MrSprintcat]

I don't know Yamaha have you read all the comments. I have a 2009 Nitro I think I'll keep it

[@nighttrain3926]

yikes if ur a true yami gye try a winder will blow u away that nitro is a dinosaur

[@MrSprintcat]

@@nighttrain3926 yeah I had an Arctic cat one time I think I'll keep my Nitro I got all aftermarket a arms on it Springs shocks the thing rips

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

Yamacat or Arcticha?

[@wolffo999]

my old 2002 mountain max triple 700 will wheelie and run 80mph

[@ruanburdino848]

Great 2022 models... I wish one day to ride one of those! Congrats Yamaha Canada.

[@JLswatchthis]

I wouldnt. Its basically an arctic cat. Yamaha does not make their own snowmobiles anymore. It hurts man. What once was such a prideful thing is now just a joke

[@Uzeil21]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[@jasondow467]

Real talk right here

[@stefanhusquvarna]

Yawn......you would think with the last 8 years of Yamaha and Arctic Cat having sex with each other they would be at the front of the innovation pack, not the back. Common you guys either get it together or shut er down.

[@spetee]

Same shitty gauge?? Omg..i sold my 19 winder (hoping big upgrades to year 2022) but now i regret my decision because these new models are just BNG. I drive my -96 vmax xt and enjoy the ride..

[@trinitysolutionsoffroad7623]

I've had 7.....SEVEN yamaha mountain max 700s. The new mountain max is a disgrace to a legend.....

[@brianwestveer9532]

They still don't get it. We want a two stroke triple, a yamaha engine

[@shperax]

They aren't necessary anymore. They do sound amazing, but that can't be the only reason to bring them back, and it IS the only reason. There isn't anything a 160~HP class sled can't do. You're just adding weight that's not practical and no mountain guy wants. And for straight line racing you're not going to beat the 4 stroke setup they have. Even Ski-doo went 4 stroke Turbo with their straight line race machine for 2022. With the technology of 4-stroke engines making them lighter than ever before there is almost no point in a 2 stroke anymore. I mean just compare the weight of a 2021 SRX LE to a 2021 Indy XCR 850. They are both 475lbs on the nose. With EPA rules on emissions only getting more strict the snowmobile industry is priming itself to remove the 2 stroke all together. If you think otherwise you're lying to yourself and denying the evidence. Example. Motorcycle and ATV industry nearly all 4 stroke. Boat motor industry 100% 4 stroke now. I remember people saying that 4 stroke boat motors would never be a thing and look where we are now. Just keep your classic 2 stroke triples in good running order and enjoy them. They won't ever make a 2 stroke triple again, but they can't take the ones we have away from us.

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

@brian westveer never gone happen emmissions man emmisions

[@d.rohatyn4510]

Would be nice but I think now weight is the issue and fit a triple into a tight/narrow front chassis be tough. Yamaha can build a very reliable and powerful 800-850cc twin and possibly turbo quite easily. I just went riding my 2004 Mountain SX Viper 700 ( with a lot of motor mods-Peak Heads, CPR triple pipes, Lowell Horning porting and other work) with my 2 boys this past weekend for their first time riding sleds and they were riding a 2002 MM600 and a 2008 MTX Phaser (borrowed from my friend who is the local Yamaha dealer). Have not rode my sled 10 years as being a hockey dad/coach there has been no time but CV19 changed that. I sure missed the sound of that triple motor with triple CPR pipes. LOVE IT !! It was like I was a younger man again. The sled rocks. I sure like the colour scheme looks of the new MM800, but would prefer an all YAMAHA version with twin rails - no AC components. I am not all mountain riding so I do not like the Mono-rail suspension but would want the 146-155" track length with 2-2.5" lugs. I am a Yamaha powersports product guy(bought my first Yamaha sled in 1993 and another in 1994) but seriously looking at Skidoo Summit/Polaris/AC 600s for my boys for next year. I will wait another year for Yamaha to see for me. I seriously considered the Sidewinder (around a 153" with 2-2.5" track would be ideal) and still may go that option, but if not it would be Skidoo 800/850 for me.

[@9kalltheway]

Pathetic. Yamaha will be the first to dip out on snowmobiles. And who in the right mind is going to pay 4k for a 120cc sled for kids. Get a 250 enticer. Learn the way we all have.

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

when is yamaha going to wake up? i was and i say that strongly because i gave up on yamaha. used to own them back when you made a decent sled (talking late 70's and through out the 80's) you can't compete with ski-doo and polaris. you spend a lot on your motor cross bikes but not snowmobile racing. i'm from michigan and yamaha used to rule one of the biggest races there is and now there no ware to be found. i follow snowmoblie racing in all racing -cross country, oval etc and you don't see any yamaha's so this new lineup is junk go back to the 2 strokes don't need all this 4 stroke junk, keep this up and you won't have to worry about any cause know one wil be buying yamaha's

[@thadschaeffer2563]

Anyone else think the SRX should also be available in black like a couple years back?

[@mikeparent2813]

Nice Cats lol 😂

[@matthorvath7562]

Wish they kept the srx blue.......and keep the red and white for the sidewinders...2021 srx for me then. Just my opinion

[@gregsmith3410]

Should have kept Yamaha blue on the venom.!!!!

[@gregfleenor9654]

A little underwhelming. To Yamaha’s credit they are prob more conservative where the hype machine is concerned though & that’s a good thing. Doo & Pol spend big bucks in that dept to scale small news into big news. ‘22....like the L LE suspension. Sweet. Like the ski & front geometry changes from last season. I wish the gauge had been changed for ‘22. And, my big question....the power steering offering is strange. Why is it an option in the T Cat & not an offering in the SRX or L LE and only in the 2nd level models?

[@derekelias7559]

Bring back the following sled names: Exciter, VMax, SX, SX-R and the SRV (not SR Viper)

[@samuelfink1619]

only if it’s their sled. they need a LOT more variety. Now they just make the sidewinder

[@sixramsalot]

the "transporter"is the worst name in sledding like,wtf...

[@FATBIKEMIKE]

Power steering but no place to put your walker when you go for a ride!!! Hahahaha

[@JLswatchthis]

You wouldnt be saying that riding a 400hp winder

[@FATBIKEMIKE]

Oh I’m sorry I must’ve missed that on the press release awesome I’ll take one!!! Lol

[@zacksitts9460]

The srx new color scheme is by far the ugliest thing I've seen yet. Also powersteer is cool and all but wtf. Its the same shit since 2012.

[@samuelfink1619]

i really like it. Is a throwback to when yamaha was good, the 77’ srx 440.

[@mikecarey9982]

Nothing new just like my 17 except color scheme changes for the most part 😴. Time for a change.....

[@nighttrain3926]

suspension (rear) is different from ur 17, spindles , skis,heated rov, re routed wireing , theres alot of great changes they made to make the sled more reliable

[@zakstang4062]

Still tryin to call arctic cat sleds yamahas huh? Sad. I bled blue for over 20yrs. I wont touch a “yamaha” sled until its a real Yamaha sled.

[@johncarruthers1657]

Way too much red on the SRX to be taken seriously. Look back to a 1977 SRX and imagine it with a red belly pan, windshield and tunnel. The 1979 and newer SRX's are when they started to look sinister and turn heads. At 1:32 it looks like a little boy with a hunched back riding his daddy's SRX- not much credibility. If I'm being totally honest Jaret, you lack enthusiasm and passion about what you are doing. It appears as if you're reading from a teleprompter. Ski Doo has brought in Lynx and it seems as if Polaris doesn't know whether to keep or sell Arctic Cat. As a Yamaha faithful for over 35 years, I (and many others) would like to know what Yamaha's future plans are with Arctic cat. We are owed that much.

I used to bleed yamaha blue but havent owned or purchased yamaha sled since I sold my srx triple in 06. Ride the trails look at how many 4 stokes out there few and far between. Riders dont want heavy ass sleds and I rarely hear anyone e complain about smell of 2 stroke sorry that's a week argument t as even 4 strokes smell too. 2 buddy's had 4 stokes 1 arctic cat the other a sidewinder. The guy with AC sold his sled after 1 season said sked was too heavy got stuck easy in deep powder and rider fatigue killed him. Guy with sidewinder ride his 4 times sold it and bought another doo 850 had Dane complaints about rider fatigue and riding powder. Also how many 4 stikes do you see in snowcross events.

Who live on the land of Ice and no so much snow. How About a bigger Fuel tank too! I went 774 km in two days last weekend and my Yamaha friends where always looking for gas. Thats annoying! If the machine is set up correctly. Power steering is not needed. My 84 year father still loves his Yamaha but we set it up right for him. Set it up right from the factory. He can one hand it 90% of the time. It will still over steer in the corner because it's so heavy with the 3 cyl 4stroke.
