I had the chance to ride my buddies new Yamaha Sidewinder. Its an amazing mountain sled. The gap between the 2 stroke and 4 stroke has been closed significantly. If Yamaha continues to progress there 4 stoke mountain sled like this we will all be on one. Is it there yet....no. But its real close. There is extra weight there, but the chassis is so good that it doesn't feel like its that much more. If you get the chance to ride one, do it. I cant explain how good it is and you wont believe me until you just ride one. Check out the video. Let me know what you think!

Sweet little video! O would love to try one of these. What are you currently riding to compare this too? I think Yamaha and Cat are going to have some pretty wicked sleds in the near future! Thanks for the info and video.

In them hills.
Not that weight is everything, but I wonder what the difference is between an estart M8000 and a M9000/sidewinder?

And a estart M8000 turbo and a M9000/sidewinder.
