Yamaha Snowmobile OverviewThe first entry in the long line of Yamaha snowmobiles was the SL350 released back in 1968. A lot has changed since then, but Yamaha is still a huge player in the snowmobile world offering many different models. The different categories of models include: ROUGH TRAIL, TRAIL PERFORMANCE, SPORT, MOUNTAIN PERFORMANCE, LUXURY TOURING, and MULTI-PURPOSE. You will find more descriptions of each category below.
1) ROUGH TRAIL
The Yamaha Rough Trail snowmachines are designed to handle snow conditions that are more bumpy and less groomed. Front and rear suspension are designed and tuned to soak up the rough terrain. This type of machine should also give a smoother landing for situations where a snowmobile gets airborne!
The models in this category include the Yamaha Apex RTX and the Attak which are powered by the 150HP 4 cylinder 4 stroke engine! Also in this category are the Yamaha Nytro and RS Rage models which are powered by an impressive 120HP 3 cylinder 4 stroke engine. Both engines produce LOTS of power!

Other models include the Yamaha RS Vector, RS Vector ER (with reverse), and RS Vector GT (with premium suspension). The RS Vector models are powered by the 120HP Yamaha triple 4 stroke engine.
