2006 Yamaha SX Viper Mountain

2006-yamaha-sx-viper-mountain.jpg

The SX Viper Mountain is an all around good sled right out of the box. You’ll be surprised how a stock sled can perform so well. But sure if you want to make it a super machine there are plenty of upgrades and accessories available for it. Still even without the extra tweaking this sled has the muscle and torque to scale most any peak, the narrow stance and agility necessary for side hilling and boon docking. It’s comfortable, it’s fast and it’s easy to handle. I’m sure you’ll like it. Wanna see some specifications?

It’s not he lightest sled out there, but its weight does not reflect on its speed at all. It also makes it very stable and reliable. Well, you’re not gonna get the speed of a four-stroke, or the silence, but for this price I think it’s a very nice sled. And it looks great too. I’m sure it won’t disappoint you if you decide to give it a chance.
