2006 Yamaha Apex RTX

by SnowMobiles on April 16, 2008

The Apex RTX is unbelievably quick. Its handling is super sharp and it handles big bumps with ease. The harder you ride this machine, the better it performs.It feels a little heavier, but it has a lot more powerful engine so that’s to be expected. Weight is not a problem for it, though. You can speed the thing up to 127 miles per hour and it won’t even feel it. It’s a great reliable ride. The gas mileage is awesome, too and it will only get better as the unit breaks in. You should absolutely think about getting one of those. See the specifications for it:

I’m trying to think of something to put as a downside, but nothing comes to mind. I’m not saying the sled is perfect, but with the proper maintenance it is pretty close to being exactly that. I haven’t heard of any problems surrounding it and I’m sure if you decide to trust it you’ll keep this thing for a long, long time. It’s a little steep on the price, but absolutely worthy. Overall s great 4-stroke sled.
