Just another sled...
Meh, just a Nytro with a different subframe & front end. I've seen the subframes and they are cool but we all know Yamaha will never put them into production. Buy an 08, drop some weight, add turbo, VE tunnel, good skid, and Skinz front end with good shocks and you've got pretty much the same sled.
Yep your right. Similar sleds can be built with similar components. Maybe the front end is carbon copy close to the old rev. The geo is way similar to a new PRO, and the spindles are tall almost like a Cat. ...The trick is getting it all to work under the weight of the Nytro. Yes, similar sleds can be built, ...we spent 2 days with Fox one on one perfecting valving and calibrating shock setups, not just with this sled, but the stockers as well. Making this rip off front susp work on these sleds has invoved ALOT of input from ALOT of inside techs, but similar sleds can be built.
Most Nytro builders bolting on turbos cannot resource the Yamaha superbike program to have the motor balanced and blueprinted among other things, but similar sleds can be built. The turbo setup is completely custom, and the fuel controler/program is 1 of 3 that exist. But your right, it is just another boosted Nytro.
Finally, why would anyone want to put together a 40000$ sled with the sole purpose of flying it up a junked out trench as fast as possible? This sled is not a stupifyingly(is that a word?) good mtn sled. It does ok in the steep 'n deep, but it was not BUILT to do that. Every component on this sled was put in place to make it trade punches with the 2 strokes on a closed course racetrack. ...maybe NOT just another Nytro,...well almost. Thanks for reading my thread.
