     Performance
    • Genesis® 130FI 4-stroke engine
      The new fast-revving, high torque 130hp-class Genesis 130FI boasts a sizeable performance gain over the Genesis 120. That gain can be credited to a slightly larger displacement, 1050cc 3-cylinder design and the introduction of Yamaha’s advanced fuel injection technology. The Genesis 130FI uses lightweight crank technology and the fuel injection system to deliver razor-sharp throttle response. It also features new Engine Braking Reduction System to give riders some “coast” feeling when the throttle is released.
    • 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 gives riders more of a “coast” feeling when the throttle is released.
    • Lightweight rear-exiting exhaust
      The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions on the FX Nytro RTX. 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 MTX’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.
    • 15x153x2.25-inch Camoplast® Maverick™ track/extrovert drive sprockets
      Yamaha and Camoplast® collaborated in the design of the Maverick™ track. The 15x153x2.25-inch track features a 3-inch pitch to allow more snow to pack in between the lugs for a firmer grip on the snow. Also, the lugs are extremely varied in design and profile for even more traction in multiple snow conditions. Churning the track is a pair of factory-engineered extrovert drive sprockets. The engineering team purpose-built these sprockets to work with the Maverick™ track and reduce vibration.
     Handling
    • 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 a more centralized mass. The FX Nytro MTX’s sport rider-forward ergonomic design puts the rider in an aggressive, yet comfortable, forward posture.
    • Over-the-engine steering
      The new 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 which contributes to the sled’s overall handling characteristic.
    • Tall, wide, hooked mountain handlebars
      To match the tall and forward position, a single-piece, dual-hooked handlebar is standard fare on the FX Nytro MTX. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position on the grip. Mountain riders will appreciate the center grab strap when it’s time for sidehilling.
    • Tall shock tower front suspension
      The tall shock tower design on the FX Nytro MTX’s double wishbone front suspension allows the sled to have excellent ground clearance and long shock travel without compromising the sled’s flat cornering stability.
    • Composite upper skeleton
      The headlight assembly and upper portion of the FX Nytro MTX 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, which aids handling.
    • Beveled deep tunnel design
      The deep tunnel on the FX Nytro MTX locates riders’ feet, and thus their weight when standing, very low on the sled. This significantly aids in the sled’s handling. The bevel at the top allows the sled to use a traditional 15-inch-wide track, for excellent traction, in conjunction with a plush narrow seat, for rider comfort.
     Comfort
    • ProMountain™ 153 rear suspension
      The lightweight ProMountain 153 rear suspension is a conventional torsion spring design. It was engineered to help the sled get up on plane in the fresh snow. It does this through weight transfer and shallow track approach angle. The dual-angle rails also give the FX Nytro MTX excellent trail manners, while maintaining its deep snow flotation. The ProMountain 153 delivers 14 inches of vertical travel.
    • KYB® gas cell shocks
      The KYB® gas cell shocks on the FX Nytro MTX’s double wishbone front suspension geometry deliver consistent performance with good fade resistance. They give the sled its nice, plush ride quality.
    • Wide runningboards with traction
      The FX Nytro MTX is all about fun and handling. As a result, the runningboards are nice and wide and loaded with traction. Riders will be able to find sure footing along the runningboards for precise technical maneuvers and have confidence in their traction. This allows the rider to move around and really enjoy the full fun of a lightweight sled.
    • Sculpted narrow seat
      The FX Nytro MTX 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.
    • 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 secondary readout. The gauge also displays system warning lights, fuel level, warmer intensity so that the rider can monitor the sled’s operation easily.
    • Quick-release, single-piece hood/console shroud
      The FX Nytro MTX 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.
