A HARDCORE MOUNTAIN RIDER'S SLED. NO SPRINGS ATTACHED

Standard Features May Include:

Performance

• High Performance 4-stroke engine

The over-achieving Genesis engine is the heart of our lightweight and aggressive FX Nytro model family. The torquey, quick-revving engine has been independently dyno tested in the mid-130 horsepower range. It has dominated its competitors in nearly every performance comparison in the industry.

• Advanced fuel injection

The Genesis High Performance engine uses Yamahas advanced fuel injection system to control fuel flow to the engine. Consumers will enjoy the engines spot-on performance and throttle response as a result of the advanced electronic fuel injection system.

• Engine braking reduction system

The Genesis High Performance engine 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.

Handling

• New Mountain skis

These saddleless plastic mountain skis are wider than a trail ski. The extra width and deep keel allows for excellent powder handling characteristics. The unique arched fin design of the ski aids in powder handling and also deflects snow away from the sled and the driver.

• FXG2 front suspension geometry

The FX Nytro MTX 153 features the acclaimed second generation FX Nytro front suspension with more trail and relaxed caster for greater deep snow handling and side hilling ability. The sway bar was also removed to enhance handling in steep, mountainous regions.

• 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 MTX 153 a very centralized mass. The FX Nytro MTX 153s sport rider-forward ergonomic design puts the rider in an aggressive, yet comfortable, forward posture.

Comfort

• ProMountain Air rear suspension

The Nytro MTX 153 is equipped with the industrys only all-air mountain-specific rear suspension. In a joint effort, Yamaha co-developed this suspension with Fox to make it the best suspension for any mountain rider. It is equipped with a Fox FLOAT 2 and Fox FLOAT XV shock that boost the suspension to another level. When combined with a shallow approach angle, a semi-coupled design, and lightweight rails, it makes for a suspension you dont want to mess with.

• Fox FLOAT 2 front shocks

Fox FLOAT 2 shocks use an air spring designed to force the piston to rebound. This eliminates the need for steel coil springs. The air springs cut three pounds off the sleds overall weight, as compared to traditional coil over springs. The springs are individually tunable by using a pocket-sized air pump, which comes with the sled, so consumers will be able to set the front suspension up to their liking.

• Wide running boards with traction

The FX Nytro MTX 153 is all about fun and handling. As a result, the running boards are nice and wide and loaded with traction. Riders will be able to put their feet anywhere on the running boards and have confidence in their grip. This allows the rider to move around and enjoy the sled.
