Nytro MTX SE 162
The 2010 Nytro MTX SE 162 is blazing an all-new trail for snowmobile enthusiasts. This high-performance, deep-snow machine targets riders looking for a powerful yet nimble 4-stroke sled that can tackle off-trail mountainous terrain.

The MTX SE 162 receives a 162-inch track with 2.25-inch studs for superior traction and floatation than 144- and 153-inch tracks on other Yamaha models. The lighter ProMountain rear suspension uses two specially-designed Fox Float air shocks to eliminate the need for heavy torsion and coil springs.

The 2010 Nytro MTX SE 162 is blazing an all-new trail for snowmobile enthusiasts.

Yamaha engineers removed the steel torsion springs (and solidified the rails to maintain the same overall rigidity) in order to evacuate under-rail snow more easily, thus allowing the suspension to remain effective after several hours of riding in deep, heavy snow.

An 11-degree pitch to the running boards of the MTX SE 162 improves rear ground clearance for deep snow capability. The 162 also features Yamaha's second-generation front suspension, with front caster gone from 24 to 18 degrees to help with cornering traction and overall floatation. Finally, new A-arms and ski axles reduce front section weight by 1.5kg while improving floatation.

Yamaha is always evolving and looking ahead, and new machines such as the deep snow-busting 2010 Nytro MTX SE 162 are prime examples. As for the new RS Vector, it will be a serious contender for the title of Best Sport Touring Snowmobile of 2010.
