2006 Yamaha Nytro

by SnowMobiles on April 16, 2008

The Yamaha Nytro is a great all around sled, whether skimming over the roughest of trails or running down a freshly groomed trail. The overall ride has great comfort and the sled handles great. This is a very reliable machine, it gets excellent gas mileage, and takes to the bumps like a REV. This thing has the perfact bottom end power. It also has amazing suspension and the seating is perfect for standing.  Sure, it’s not going to outrun the bigger lake sleds, but corner to corner it’s great. You can get it up to 110mph, but that’s about all you can squeeze of it. Here are the characteristics:

There are two things people are complaining about. The first is the delamination of the bogey wheels…which is really terrible. And then the low windshield…which is more of a beauty accessory and not something that will actually help against the wind. Other than that the sled is great. So is its price. Go for it if you have the chance. I don’t think you’ll regret doing it.
