Rob Alford's turbo Nytro




This is Rob Alford's new mountain sled built by fourty1thirty.
It's a purpose built mountain chassis @ 240Hp and 445 (plus) lbs depending on race rails, skis, shocks and battery.
Clear 10.7 Gal fuel tank
Full 14 point 4130 chromoly tube chassis heat-treated and powder coated for the most rigid frame on the market making your suspension work properly and rider not feeling the impacts. Ever ride down a trail at 35mph with 2-foot moguls sitting on the seat? You can!!!
Very low center of gravity due to the engine placement along with a ‘front mount’ turbo system producing 240HP on pump gas.
NASCAR chromoly ball joints and steering bearing as a "no wear item" and is by far the strongest we have found yet!
Carbon fiber tunnel designed to be very efficient in a wind tunnel and to get rid of the snow and air pressure associated with riding. It also has non-stick capabilities with "function over form" in my eyes.
Carbon fiber nose cone cured for a sledgehammer hit
Chromoly a-arms and spindles that are stronger than the OEM'S
Complete chromoly steering system with no linkage for the tightest feel and durability
Front-end geometry is designed to eliminate bump steering and directs shock impact into rear trestle of the tunnel
Grated running boards for clear “no build up" foot placement and unparallel stability with our "side kick” side panels that move you 7" forward on the out side of the frame making side hilling seem effortless.
They also added removable aluminum running board traction if they ever wear out.

5 point removable roll cage for super rigidity and access to clutching, and the rest of the engine compartment.
RMI DRIVE for the lightest
and strongest direct drive eliminating a heli ride from the backcountry due to a broken chain.
EZ RYDE suspension that has 16", one of the best suspension skids on the market. This suspension makes a 153 hook up like a 163, and absorb hits only an MX-Z suspension could take! No wonder you see all the riders using them on the hill climb circuit.
Swing arm rear suspension seat "RSS" with a Fox float SHOCK to give you an additional 4" of adjustable travel for softer or firmer ride.
HC-X roller secondary with the most advanced helix in snowmobiling

ODDESSY dry cell battery. It might weigh one pound more than stock, but it can take the hardest hits, day in and day out, and still boost your truck at the end of the day!!
Fox Float EVOL for the best bump absorption and widest range of adjustability.
Vented side panels with a 230cfm/ft breathability and 875lb burst strength to cool the inside without water intrusion.
PIAA 85 watt 3" lights

Best handling, strongest and most advanced sled probably ever produced.
And if that isn't enough, it looks AWESOME!
