- New Genesis® 120FI 4-stroke engine
Our Genesis 120FI is the next generation of trail cruising powerplants. Designed from the start to be the ultimate trail engine package, the 120FI delivers simplicity – no tuning needed, fuel economy- about 5% better versus carbed 120 engine, and great performance – 15 more ft/lbs of torque at 5500 rpm versus carbed 120 engine. The new engine also has a high output stator, which cranks out an additional 70 Watts of power over the carbed 120.
- Advanced fuel injection
The Genesis 120FI 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
- Direct-to-crankshaft clutching
Instead of using a gear reduction, the Genesis 120FI engine has the primary clutch directly attached to the crankshaft. This eliminates parts, complexity and weight, resulting in a better product for consumers. It also allows the engine to be mounted deep in the chassis to deliver a low center of gravity, giving the sled great cornering stability. The YVXC primary spins at 8000 RPM to transfer power from the engine to the secondary and on to the track.
- Lightweight rear-exiting exhaust
The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions on the RS Vector LTX GT. 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.
- Radiator and fan
In order to generate consistently-strong engine performance, all Genesis 120FI sleds feature a small radiator and fan on the right hand side of the engine cab. The use of a small radiator improves the sled’s cooling system function by 17% versus the previous carbed Vector LTX, which means greater engine durability.
- Lightweight hydraulic brake system
The lightweight 4-piston brake system delivers solid stopping power without fading, even in high-use applications. It also incorporates a new, lightweight, double-finned, self-cooling brake disc.
- New Extrovert drivers
Churning the track is a pair of factory-engineered extrovert drive sprockets. The engineering team purpose-built these sprockets to work with the Rip Saw™ track to virtually eliminate track ratcheting and reduce vibration.
- 15x136x1.25-inch Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track
The RS Vector GT has a new Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track with every window open and a new clip design. 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®.

- Deltabox™ II with comfortable rider-forward position
The primary design objective of the Deltabox II chassis was to create a comfortable rider-forward posture. The ergonomic treatment is achieved by locating the handlebars and seated position high and forward on the chassis. With this positioning, the rider can go from sitting to standing and back again easily and comfortably. It also centralizes the combined mass of sled and driver, for razor-sharp handling.
- Second generation front suspension geometry
The geometry of the second generation front suspension features short spindles and long A-arms. The suspension was engineered to deliver excellent cornering stability and consistent turning effort throughout its travel stroke. It delivers 9 inches of vertical travel and sets the skis at 42 inches. Steering is consistent, because the spindle caster is maintained at a constant 23 degrees.
- 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.
- Integrated airbox/small hood
The design on the RS Vector LTX GT is very efficient, often integrating many functions into one component. One such example is the use of the airbox as a part of the hood design. The upper element, closest to the headlight, is comprised of the silencer cover for the airbox. This design feature allows for a very small hood piece, which keeps weight low.
- Tall, wide, hooked handlebars
To match the tall and forward position, a single-piece, dual-hooked handlebar is standard fare on the RS Vector LTX GT. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position on the grip.
- CF die cast construction
Yamaha’s Controlled Flow casting technique is used for many of the structural pieces on the chassis. The CF process draws the molten metal into the mold under a vacuum, reducing the formation of air bubbles in the material. As a result, pieces can be made much thinner and still deliver the strength characteristics of a conventionally cast, thicker piece.
- Saddleless plastic skis
The saddleless plastic ski offers low unsprung weight and its aggressive keel design provides strong bite to help the RS Vector LTX GT corner.

- Mono Shock® II RA 136 rear suspension
The Mono Shock II RA 136 rear suspension uses a single shock to control the travel of the skid. The shock is remotely adjustable via a rotating dial located conveniently on the left side of the tunnel, near the driver’s leg. The suspension is widely adjustable to suit nearly any rider in nearly any condition. In addition to the remote adjustment, the Mono Shock RA 136 is also adjustable at the coil spring and at the control rod. Along with these features, the Mono Shock II RA 136 rear suspension includes 13 changes from the original Mono Shock RA rear suspension such as a larger rear axle, a track adjuster, new rail design, new needle bearings in the lower front arm, and more. - Tall, lightweight seat
The RS Vector GT’s lightweight seat features a roomy cargo space. The height of the trail seat makes it even easier to go from sitting to standing, while the firm foam provides extra comfort. There is a waterproof membrane in the seat liner to significantly reduce the amount of moisture that is absorbed into the seat foam.
- New grip warmers
The RS Vector LTX GT 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.
- 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.
- Wide runningboards with star-punched traction
The RS Vector LTX GT’s wide runningboards feature star-punched traction throughout their entire length. The boards also have an outer traction roll for additional sure footing. As an added benefit, the traction holes help evacuate snow and slush from the runningboard.
- Standard electric start
Yamaha’s electric starter system allows consumers to fire up their RS Vector LTX GT with the turn of a key. There is no pulling on a nylon cord to get this high-tech engine growling! Electric start is a standard feature on all of Yamaha’s 4-stroke machines.
- Dual DC outlets
The RS Vector LTX GT offers two styles of DC outlets. It comes with a standard automotive-style outlet for cell phones, GPS or other electronics accessories. And it also comes standard with an RCA-style plug near the left hand grip to power up heated helmet visors or other small-plug accessories.
- Digital gauge with even more data features
The RS Vector LTX GT features a digital gauge array that displays a wide variety of data. In addition to standard readouts like speed, engine RPM, barometric measurements, dual trip meters and a clock, the new RS Venture gauge also has an oil trip readout which tracks when it’s time for an oil change and fuel trip readout which displays how many miles you’ve gone since the fuel light came on.
- New graphic packages
The RS Vector LTX GT comes in three graphic packages; Yamaha blue/white, candy red, and white/silver. These awesome designs produce one of the best looking sleds on the snow.
