2008 Apex 
150 HP Trail Performance

GENESIS 150 FI
The high-performance 150hp-class Genesis 150FI engine is built with exotic materials and Yamaha's high-tech manufacturing processes to be lightweight, durable and highly potent. The lightweight crank design and advanced fuel injection system give this engine right-now performance. Its broad power curve is easy to clutch and it delivers excellent acceleration out of a backshift.

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION
Electronically controlled throttle bodies read your thumb almost before you slam the throttle lever to the bar. Computerized circuitry recognizes barometric pressure, ambient temperature, throttle position, engine rpm and everything else that matters to get you up to speedimmediately.

RIDER FORWARD
Comfort. Stability. Control. Apex snowmobiles bring rider and sled together into a "ready" position. Forward-mount handlebars and high-rise comfort saddle bring you forward, positioning you to respond to the trail. You sit tall to read the bumps. Legs and feet come naturally to an action position without being forced into one riding position. Serious riders. Ready for winter's serious challenge. Bring it on.

OIL SAVINGS
No matter how you slice it, a 2-stroke engine is a 100% oil loss system  you pour it in, the sled spews it out. Yamaha 4-stroke engines don't use injection oil, so you're not always chasing the next quart. Look at the savings you'll enjoy with a Yamaha 4-stroke versus a 2-stroke engine!

SUSPENSION: MONO-SHOCK RA
The Mono RA lets you easily dial in all combinations of comfort. Twist the remote adjuster knob to fine-tune according to rider weight and riding style. Simple. Precise.

MORE EFFICIENT
Fifty years of advanced engineering technology means Yamaha four strokes enjoy miles-per-gallon advantages  fewer fuel stops  cleaner combustion  no two stroke odour. With fuel prices reaching record highs, Yamaha's four-stroke advantages are clear. And Yamaha four strokes can't be matched for consistent reliable performance.

LESS WEIGHT
Ever since the first Yamaha four-stroke snowmobile was introduced, power efficiency has increased while weight has decreased. Yamaha has engineered more four strokes than all other snowmobile manufacturers combined. Magnesium, titanium and aluminum components enhance performance and reliability while also reducing weight.

ELECTRIC START
Every Yamaha snowmobile comes standard with electric start. Shouldn't every so-called high-tech new sled in the 21st century?
