RS Vector LTX GT


New Genesis® 120FI 4-stroke engine
Our Genesis 120FI is the next generation of trail cruising powerplants. Designed from the start to be the ultimate trail engine package, the 120FI delivers simplicity – no tuning needed, fuel economy- about 5% better versus carbed 120 engine, and great performance – 15 more ft/lbs of torque at 5500 rpm versus carbed 120 engine. The new engine also has a high output stator, which cranks out an additional 70 Watts of power over the carbed 120.
Advanced fuel injection
The Genesis 120FI uses Yamaha’s advanced fuel injection system to control fuel flow to the engine. Consumers will enjoy the engine’s spot-on performance and throttle response as a result of the advanced electronic fuel injection system
Direct-to-crankshaft clutching
Instead of using a gear reduction, the Genesis 120FI engine has the primary clutch directly attached to the crankshaft. This eliminates parts, complexity and weight, resulting in a better product for consumers. It also allows the engine to be mounted deep in the chassis to deliver a low center of gravity, giving the sled great cornering stability. The YVXC primary spins at 8000 RPM to transfer power from the engine to the secondary and on to the track.
Lightweight rear-exiting exhaust
The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions on the RS Vector LTX GT. First, it maximizes horsepower by using a straight exhaust pipe design. Second, it reduces the amount of under-hood heat produced. Third, the rear-exiting design distributes weight to contribute to the excellent balance of the sled.
Radiator and fan
In order to generate consistently-strong engine performance, all Genesis 120FI sleds feature a small radiator and fan on the right hand side of the engine cab. The use of a small radiator improves the sled’s cooling system function by 17% versus the previous carbed Vector LTX, which means greater engine durability.
Lightweight hydraulic brake system
The lightweight 4-piston brake system delivers solid stopping power without fading, even in high-use applications. It also incorporates a new, lightweight, double-finned, self-cooling brake disc.
New Extrovert drivers
Churning the track is a pair of factory-engineered extrovert drive sprockets. The engineering team purpose-built these sprockets to work with the Rip Saw™ track to virtually eliminate track ratcheting and reduce vibration.
15x136x1.25-inch Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track
The RS Vector GT has a new Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track with every window open and a new clip design. It has been widely acclaimed in the industry as the best all-around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and everyday trail usage. The Rip Saw™ track development is the result of a collaborative effort between Yamaha and Camoplast®.
