Vehicle Information
Yamaha V-Max 700 Snowmobile (1997-2002)
The Yamaha V-Max 700, produced from 1997 to 2002, is a high-performance snowmobile, distinct from its motorcycle namesake. This model was powered by a robust 698cc triple-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, delivering an estimated 110 to 115 horsepower, making it a popular choice for trail riding and mountain adventures. Key trims included the Vmax 700 SX, known for its agile handling, and the Mountain Max 700, designed for deep powder. The 1997 model year marked a significant evolution for the V-Max 700. It introduced an entirely new trailing arm design, enhancing handling precision, and featured Yamaha's pioneering triple-cylinder engine in this segment. This period also saw the transition from Yamaha's older TSS suspension to the advanced "Pro Action Plus" independent front suspension (IFS), solidifying its reputation for reliability and performance.
