2006 Yamaha Apex RTX Features & Benefits
Performance
Genesis� 150FI
The all-new Genesis� 150FI engine is an all-new design intended to increase power and reduce weight. It cranks out about eight additional horsepower, to hit 150hp class performance. The unique fuel injection system also delivers quicker, crisper throttle response and as a bonus it runs significantly cleaner than any snowmobile engine on the market today. It also weighs 7 pounds less than the Genesis� Extreme!
 
Deltabox II with rider-forward ergos
The primary design objective of the Deltabox� II chassis was to create a rider-forward posture. The new ergonomic treatment is achieved by moving the handlebars forward by 6 inches and raising them by 4 inches. The seat is also roughly 2.5 inches taller and the seated position is 6 inches forward of the 2005 RX-1 seat. With this positioning, the rider can go from sitting to standing and back again easily and comfortably. It also further centralizes the combined mass of sled and driver, thanks to the new CF die cast steering gate.
 
Fuel injection system
More than just a bolt-on part of the Genesis� 150FI, the fuel injection system required a full engine redesign. The low-pressure system uses an injector and butterfly valve throttle body to aid in delivering outrageously-crisp throttle response, 150 horsepower production and class-leading fuel economy.
 
New exhaust
The exhaust pipes coming out of the Genesis� 150FI engine are configured in a 4-1-2 design. The new exhaust, featuring titanium head pipes, adds to the engine�s higher output and also reduces weight.
 
2.2 pound lighter forged crankshaft
The new forged crankshaft in the Genesis� 150FI is 2.2 pounds lighter than the original in the Genesis� Extreme. This is a large contributing factor in the Apex RTX�s razor-sharp throttle response.
 
Radiator
In order to generate consistently-strong engine performance in any condition, all Genesis� 150FI sleds feature a small radiator and electric fan assembly on the right hand side of the engine cab.
 
Handling
Second generation front geometry
The new second generation geometry on the front end of the Apex RTX uses shorter spindles and revised A-arms and shock mount locations to enhance the sled�s stability in tight cornering and high-speed sweeper curves. The second generation geometry maintains the same 9 inches of vertical travel, but widens the ski stance from 42.1 to 42.7 inches. In addition, the new configuration maintains spindle castor at 23 degrees throughout the travel stroke. This gives the sled consistent and predictable steering regardless of the suspension�s activity.
 
Fox Float front shocks
Fox Float shocks use a unique air spring design to force the piston to rebound. This eliminates the need for steel coil springs. They cut three pounds, as compared to traditional coil over springs. They are individually tunable by using a pocket-sized air pump, which comes with the sled.
 
Integrated airbox/ small hood
The design on the Apex RTX is very efficient, often integrating many functions into one component. One such example is the use of the airbox as a part of the hood design. The upper element, closest to the headlight, is comprised of the silencer cover for the airbox. This design feature allows for a significantly smaller hood piece, which reduces weight.
 
Magnesium chaincase
The Apex RTX features a lightweight magnesium chaincase. The exotic material cuts a pound from the previously-used aluminum chaincase on 2005 RX-1 models.
 
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.
 
Comfort
Mono Shock� RA rear suspension
The Mono Shock� RA rear suspension uses a single shock to control the travel of the skid. The shock is remotely adjustable via a rotating dial located conveniently on the left side of the tunnel, near the driver�s leg. The suspension is widely adjustable to suit nearly any rider in nearly any condition. In addition to the remote adjustment, the Mono Shock� RA is also adjustable at the coil spring and at the control rod.
 
Tall trail seat
The seat on the Apex RTX is designed to be tall and lightweight. The seat uses super-lightweight, yet firm foam for its height. In addition, the tall lightweight seat includes a new storage trunk in the rear, with expanded capacity and accessibility.
 
Wide, hooked handlebars
To match the tall and forward position, a new handlebar is standard fare on the Apex RT. The new design incorporates aftermarket-style, keyed slot hooks on both sides to eliminate unwanted hook rotation. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position.
 
Digital gauge with more data features
The Apex RTX features a new digital gauge cluster that displays even more data. New readouts include dual trip meters and a clock! In addition to the new functions, the gauge has been totally restyled to match the aggressive lines of the Apex body work.
 
Removable side panels
In order to allow easy access to the engine and drivetrain components on the Apex RTX, the side panels of the bellypan are removable. The chassis� compact design only allows access to the airbox and storage compartment from the hood area. As a result, the side panels are mounted with Dzus-style, quick-connect fasteners to give consumers and mechanics fast and broad access to the engine, clutches and brake systems.
