Obviously we will know much more about the capabilities of these new sleds when the final production units will be released. However, I thought this was insightful since this is coming from someone who actually got to try one out. I will look forward to more Proto ride reports! (You lucky b%&*rds)!

Some people have been PMing me asking if I have ridden the Nytro and what I thought. First of all, I rode prototypes and not to the extent or amount of time yet for a thorough eval. But for the impressions, I can spell out a few things for you trashers but you'll have to get the full skinny in our mag. I still have to sell magazines to keep my job.
Yamaha isn't necessarily making a claim that the Nytro is a ditch banger. I am. Yamaha positions it for "rough trail." It might not be a lightweight ditch-banger as compared to the likes of a Firecat, but this is the first four-stroke that I would consider hammering down a ditchline. What was the last Yamaha that a person could ride confidently and fearless through a mile-long stretch of two and three-foot moguls at 80 mph? I think the Nytro is the first, and I've done it. I couldn't have been more surprised at how well it did. I wished I had a MX Z X, Firecat SnoPro, and a Fusion to go through the same trail and rank them. I don't think the Nytro would finish last in that terrain, and all things equal it would keep up with any of the sleds I just mentioned.
