Long Term Trial Update Yamaha

The Yamaha model has changed. But the mission of our long term trial remains the same.

Due to the overwhelming success of The Yamaha Limited Edition models for 2015, SledMagazine.com has agreed to make fulfillment of all Spring Surge orders more certain by changing our 2015 Yamaha Viper R-TX to the SE. Hopefully the Snow Gods will smile upon us for trying to help everyone get their Awesome LE.

Introducing the 2015 SledMagazine.com Viper R-TX SE

While we are slightly bummed out not to be seen across the Northeast in the ultra cool looking Blue/Orange LE our “now received” Blue and White Viper R-TX SE will allow us to accomplish the goals of our long term trial without compromise. As a bonus it will also give us a better opportunity to put the official cleaner of SledMagzine.com, IPone’s Clean ‘n Shine” mega cans to continued challenge. (Bang a SledMagazine.com stamp of approval).

While our long term trial was never specifically about the LE’s Fox float 3 EVOL RC/ZERO PROS shock package, we will certainly miss the added experience. Stay tuned for what next generation shock package could be a mid season part of our SE experience.

The real meat of our SR Viper R-TX trial program was always to be as we announced in our original “Yamaha Unlimited Miles” release.

Our experience with Yamaha’s 2nd season refinement of the high performance SR Viper chassis/suspension, the Yamaha clutches/calibrations, the new deeper keel tuner skis and the multi view point reaction to everything that is the 2015 Viper will all remain unchanged.

Deluxe Modular Baggage Accessories by Choko, Top Gold carbides and Trail Blizzer ice scratchers by Qualipieces, Sharper Safer turns every time out with a BiteHarder.com carbide runner sharpening tool, an unbeatable shine by IPone cleaning products and much more! Stay tuned and let the game begin!

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.
