2010 Yamaha Apex LTX GT
T he forged crankshaft in the 4-stroke Genesis 150FI is 2.2 pounds lighter than the original in the Genesis Extreme. This is a large contributing factor in the Apex LTX GT’s razor-sharp throttle response. Its high tech, low-pressure fuel injection system uses an injector and butterfly valve throttle body on each cylinder to aid in delivering outrageously crisp throttle response, 150 horsepower production and excellent fuel economy.
The exhaust, featuring titanium head pipes, adds to the engine’s higher output and also reduces weight. The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions. First, it cools the pipe by running it down the tunnel, where it can be snow-cooled. 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.
The Camoplast Rip Saw track is a standard feature on the Apex LTX GT. It has been widely acclaimed in the industry as the best all-around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and everyday trail usage. 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 and reduce vibration. The Apex LTX GT features a lightweight magnesium chaincase. The exotic material is a pound lighter than the previously used aluminum chaincase on other models.
The Apex LTX 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. It features a color band to match the sled’s lines and graphics. Also standard is an automotive-style outlet for cell phones, GPS or other electronics accessories. There's also an RCA-style plug near the left hand grip to power up heated helmet visors or other small-plug accessories.
The Apex LTX GT comes in two graphic packages; Yamaha blue/white as well as Yamaha black. MSRP for both is $12,699.
