A 2018 Yamaha SideWinder XTX 137 “Hi Vis” SE, How is that for a special package?

snowmobile SideWinder XTX 137 SE

Last year we focused our 3,000+ SideWinder miles on the performance and durability of the 998cc Genesis Turbo engine and drive train. Throughout an awesome winter, we learned about the awesome capability and smooth performance of SideWinder. We were not alone and many snowmobilers experienced the same excitement and exhilaration that we did.

For 2018 our Yamaha long-term trial will be all about a particular model of SideWinder.

For the past 2 snowmobile seasons, it has been necessary to make last minute changes to our Yamaha test model due to high market demands for the models we originally requested. But not this year! 

For 2018 SledMagazine.com will be riding the exact model that we feel may be best suited to the trails, conditions and distances that we will travel throughout Northeastern US and Canada.  

Once again we are fortunate to have the outstanding service, knowledge, support and personnel of Frank’s Motorcycle of Essex Vermont as our 2018 Yamaha long-term trial dealer.

Greg Gilbert

Greg's first snowmobile experience was in 1968 when his Grandfather purchased a new Ski-doo Nordic 371 package including dog sled as a surprise family gift. “Grampy” thought that the Gilbert's would enjoy the new sport of snowmobiling and he was right. Since that first ride as an 8-year-old, snowmobiling has provided Greg with one of the greatest pleasures of his life. The experiences, excitement, adrenaline, adventures, freedom, memories and friendships have relaxed and rejuvenated him throughout his life. From 1985 – 1996 Greg was an active member of the “Arrowhead Mountain Snowmobile Club” in his hometown of Milton Vermont, holding positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, trail coordinator and membership chairman. Greg has also been involved in all aspects of trail construction and grooming as well as regional and statewide involvement. Greg has ridden over 130,000 miles throughout Vermont, Maine and all regions of Quebec. His riding experiences have been predominantly throughout Quebec since his first introduction in 1984 averaging 4000-5000 Quebec miles over the past 25+ years. Throughout 35 years of Quebec snowmobiling Greg has had positive interactions with many members of various groups and organizations. Greg is often in a unique position of being a comfortable, non-threatening bridge to better mutual understanding and communication of how we can work together to strengthen and protect our sport. Over the years Greg became well known throughout Quebec as “Greg du Vermont”, before joining the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team in 2012 as a Columnist / Test Rider. Greg has written over 100 articles for SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca, attended manufacturers Snow Shoot and Sneak Peek media events beginning in 2012 and is frequently seen at snowmobile events in both the US and Canada. Greg brings a unique personal perspective and style to his articles and has been a positive ambassador of snowmobiling for over 35 years. He is known throughout his hometown as the guy who thinks and talks about winter all summer long.
