SnowTech Magazine said just last year that it would be "hard to eclipse the Vmax (SX) no matter what anybody tries to do better." Well, we've never been just anybody, and the truth is, we have done better by turning the SX into the SXR, a mogul-eating monster with all-new long-travel suspension front (9") and rear (11.5") to go with a ProAction System chassis that boasts up to twice the torsional rigidity of competitive designs. Go ahead, choose your sled: the SX700R and the SX 600R triples, or the SX 500R twin. In the end, the results will be the same. You'll be railing around less-than-perfectly groomed trails and thrashing your way through the big bumps as your buddies try to keep up, and it won't take long before they start asking themselves why they didn't buy an SXR too. The new-for-2000 redesign goes far beyond merely bumping up the travel, however. Suspension components have been calibrated to deliver exceptional handling and pitch control in big bumps, and thus greater driver confidence. An all-new, high-profile 0.92" track hooks up instantly for outstanding acceleration and agile handling. wide handlebars, all-new lightweight rocker skis, and a repositioned footrest angle all add up to greater machine sensitivity to driver input. But then, theses are all cutting-edge features you've come to expect on a sled bearing the Yamaha badge. And when it comes to reining in the moguls and keeping big bumps under control, there's a new sheriff in town and he goes by the name of  SXR.
