Good catch on the image.
MY BAD!
The MTX long track version will not be shipping till next season.
I think we will see it in Feb though when they roll out the 2015 lineup.
For now the 141 is the longest track option they are offering.
Though converting it should be pretty easy...
SR Viper XTX SE
Meet the new king of the crossover food chain. The SR Viper XTX SE produces a devastating blend of razor-sharp handling, terrain versatility, and jaw-dropping performance from the 3-cylinder Genesis engine. And you thought snakes sent shivers down your spine before.
- Track - The 141-inch Camoplast® Cobra® track with 1.6-inch lugs and a three-inch pitch delivers phenomenal bite on and off the trail.
- Rear Suspension - Dual Shock SR 141 features an air shock combined with aluminum-body HPG shock for maximum control and ride comfort.
- Front shock package - The Viper XTX SE’s performance-tuned Fox® FLOAT® 2 air shocks up front offer virtually infinite preload settings.
- Center Grab Strap - The Viper XTX SE sports a tough center grab strap for additional leverage options when the adventure heads into deep snow.
- Sport windshield - An integrated, aerodynamic design with plenty of air-deflecting ability allows you to feel less wind, and more exhilaration.
Christopher the great yamaha prophet. . . Tell us is the viper the sled you have been prophesied about for the last two years?
Also I could see nytrocity for sale once you get the viper long tracked and turboed. My opinion is that you get the viper and give your son the Nytrocity. Rather than boosting his otherwise stock nytro.
At THIS moment I honestly don't know.
I didn't think so last spring, but now I am less certain....
Please understand, there is a WALL between me and SnoWest Magazine when it comes to insight on next year's sleds.
They are VERY careful to make sure I am 100% OUT OF THE LOOP so as NOT to violate any of their Non-Disclosure Agreements with the manufacturers.
That said.
I get a constant stream of information from a wide variety of sources.
Some give me breadcrumbs, others a whole slice and once in a while I get the loaf. The viper has been under development for some time. I caught wind of it last summer with a tip to look at financial transactions and stock sales. That led to the first discussion of a joint venture with Arctic Cat.
All things considered, they do a remarkable job of keeping these new projects under wraps as long as possible.
I am near 100% certain we will see an MTX version of the Viper in Feb at the 2015 rollout. I am NOT certain we will see a new MTX chasis or new 3 cylinder engine.
My feelers are out, and I am listening, but its still early and they are doing their best to keep it all under wraps..

I don't think you were wrong. I believe Yamaha saw the trenching issues Cat was having and held off the planned release until the trenching issues and a couple other issues were adressed.
And being a little odd my wish for 2015 would be the Phazer with the old 700 triple in it and long tracked...
I heard from a reputable source it is not that easy!! If you want a long track wait until next year!!
Just a stab in the dark.
But I would betcha we will see Long Track Conversions on this sled this winter.
KMOD ???

Pics look just tlike the skid under my 2014 M8, why would it not be easy....curious...
Cooling becomes huge issue!! Lotsa $$$ is what I have been told by the person who would be selling me the XTX! It can be done but not just by throwing a longer skid and track.
N
NICE!
T
That's a lot of track! Looks awesome.
I still don't see why people would be apprehensive about having this new sled. We have lauded Yamaha for their engines forever while at the same time slamming them for their chassis and people are still not happy about this????
I am still going to ride my Nytro for a year or two more but I really like the way things are looking. Hopefully by the time I am ready for another all the promised changes will be here.

I can see that there are some guys wanting a turn key mountain sled and that is expected.
The mod guys have been waiting for a sled like this for at least a couple years, and they would change the track, tunnel, coolers, and skid anyway. The new Viper is a natural for a highly modded mountain sled.
After running a 15 wide track for an entire season, I would never go back to 16 wide either.
T
Sure would be nice to see that happen.
Hopefully there will be one (XF7000 version) in my shop soon, just waiting for the sled to get here!
Me too. Dealer just told me today my xf7000 would be here before mid oct
I had one all summer making carbon fiber parts for it, if the Arctic Cat has a 153 and 162 then the Viper can have one too. It has all the Arctic Cat parts except for the motor, no different...It will be heavier but should have a ton of torque and HP.
if interested I have a list of carbon fiber parts we are making for this Viper. The parts I have will work on BOTH the A/C and Yamaha, except for head light delete, instrument panel and hood wings, all the same after that..
Looks like a really ice sled..

Already starting to look like a prime MOD-SLED candidate!
This is slightly off topic...but does anyone know if the 2014 viper graphics will fit a 2013 M8?
I'm thinking of really blowing some minds this year if they'd would fit. Cruise up on a brand new 2 stoke "yamaha" haha.
