2024 Yamaha SXVenom

The Venom is a lightweight snowmobile aimed at young, new and returning riders. The fuel-injected, two-stroke 397cc single-cylinder engine features electric start and is propelled by a 121-inch Camso Hacksaw track. Long-travel 'Dual Shock' rear suspension, lightweight alloy chassis, Stryke single keel ski and racy styling combine to create a compact sled that bristles with excitement at a very attractive price.

Features may include:

• This high-tech 397cc engine has all the features you'd expect to find in a top-of-the-line sled: computerized ignition (ECM), three-stage exhaust powervalve, battery-less fuel injection, electronic oil-injection and electric start to name a few. Tuned exhaust with an exhaust pipe temperature sensor (EPTS) and a detonation sensor combine to ensure reliable performance. A lightweight, counterbalance shaft takes care of unwanted vibration delivering a smooth, wide range of power.

• The power valve system tunes the exhaust port opening based on RPM to ensure maximum torque and fuel efficiency across the power band.

• The CVTech Trail Bloc drive clutch and Invance driven clutch provides reliable, low temperature operation with wide-ratio performance. The small diameter main bearing allows the belt to sit lower in the primary for a super-low first gear. This also creates a wider ratio transmission through the secondary pulley to efficiently pull every pony out of the compact engine.

• The Yamaha designed single keel ski strikes the elusive balance between lightweight steering effort and precision handling over a wide range of snow conditions. Special, carbides further enhance steering response. An adjustable shim pad assembly works in conjunction with the rubber saddle block to tune the carbide pressure point. Overall ski stance is also adjustable by relocating the thick spacer located on each ski axle to the opposite side.

• The 4.5-inch riser block positions the hooked end bars within easy reach whether seated or standing.

• Almost a thing of the past, having a modern snowmobile with the weight of a 30-year-old fan-cooled sled opens the door for a whole new era in snowmobiling function and fun.
