THE FLAGSHIP CRUISER
THE FLAGSHIP CRUISER
Designed for the seasoned, high mileage rider.
• 998 Genesis Turbo Engine
The 998 Genesis Turbo Engine is unmatched when it comes to delivering incredible power. Every engine component from intake to exhaust is dedicated to producing uncompromised performance, earning the respect and reputation as the industry's highest achiever.
• YSRC High-Performance Clutch System
The YSRC primary and roller secondary clutches are calibrated for durable, cool operation. They efficiently harness and transfer the massive torque produced by the Genesis Turbo to the track, all while minimizing drive belt wear. The primary shifts out aggressively to use all of the power while the roller secondary is quick to back-shift and provides additional ratio through its oversized sheaves for continuous acceleration.
• Fox® 1.5 QS3 Front Shocks
The Sidewinder L-TX GT is equipped with Fox QS3 shocks that feature a piggyback chamber that delivers reduced fading, exceptional control, and three easy ways to adjust the compression damping performance settings, so you can quickly and easily adjust the ride based on the conditions and your riding preference.
• Dual Shock SR 137 Q53 Rear Suspension
The Dual Shock SR 137 rear suspension offers premium ride comfort with additional bump bridging capabilities, floatation, and traction. The ride and comfort are further enhanced with HPG center and adjustable Fox QS3 rear shock absorbers. The SR 137 is a "coupled" suspension that utilizes a unique "sliding" front arm mount. With up to a half-inch of movement at the front arm "slot," the system allows the SR 137 to deliver controlled ski-lift during acceleration while still retaining front arm bump compliance.
