2025 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX GT EPS Base

2025 Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX GT EPS

The 2025 Sidewinder L-TX GT EPS pulls all things premium from the Apex. This sled has earned a reputation among seasoned, high-mileage riders for its rock-solid performance and practical comfort. The addition of Yamaha's Variable Electric Power Steering (EPS) rewrites the definition of a top trail-performance snowmobile. EPS takes the fight out of muscling the powerful turbo through twisty trails. The L-TX GT EPS is a unit that will take you where you need to go in a way that will change your outlook on long-distance rides.

Features may include:

• Final Edition Badging

A badge representing all 20,476 days Yamaha has been in the Snowmobile business. May it spark many conversations about the best sled, the coolest innovation, the longest ride.

• GT Series Wind Deflector

The medium smoked polycarbonate windshield was designed to shield the high-mileage rider from the coldest days. The windshield incorporates a small lip at the top to deflect wind and snow up and over the rider at speed, while flared edges provided added protection and warmth for your hands. The GT windshield was also designed to accommodate optional mirrors. The windshield is thicker than standard windshields to reduce mirror vibration at speed and features pre-marked indents for an easy installation of the accessory mirrors.

• Yamaha Variable Electric Power Steering

Yamaha's newest generation of Electric Power Steering (EPS) has reduced weight by over three pounds and incorporates a "brushless" DC motor for improved reliability and performance. Variable Assist EPS utilizes a magnetic torque sensor that measures steering input based on torsion or 'twist' of the steering post, which is calculated from handlebar input and ski resistance. This data is suppled to an integrated control module which in turn, signals the brushless servo-motor to assist the steering through its powered, worm-gear drive assembly. All together it gives a more balanced, natural feel or 'connection' to the terrain, and effectively reduces the steering effort required while enhancing predictability for greater rider confidence and less fatigue.
