- Mono Shock™ RA rear suspension
The Mono Shock RA rear suspension uses a single shock to control the travel of the skid. The shock is remotely adjustable via a rotating dial located conveniently on the left side of the tunnel, near the driver’s leg. The suspension is widely adjustable to suit nearly any rider in nearly any condition. In addition to the remote adjustment, the Mono Shock RA is also adjustable at the coil spring and at the control rod.

- Deltabox™ II with comfortable rider-forward position ergos
The primary design objective of the Deltabox II chassis was to create a comfortable rider-forward posture. The ergonomic treatment is achieved by moving the handlebars forward by 6 inches and raising them by 4 inches. The seat is also roughly 2.5 inches taller and the seated position is 8.375 inches forward of previous models. With this positioning, the rider can go from sitting to standing and back again easily and comfortably. It also further centralizes the combined mass of sled and driver, for razor-sharp handling.

- Tall lightweight seat
The Apex ER has a tall, comfortable seat. It has been specifically built for the hard-charging rider who likes to ride aggressively. The seat features the roomy cargo space. The seating position is 6 inches forward and 2.5 inches taller than other conventional seats. The added height of the seat makes it even easier to go from sitting to standing, while the firmer foam provides extra comfort.

- Wide, hooked handlebars
To match the tall and forward position, a tall, hooked handlebar is standard fare on the Apex ER. The design incorporates keyed slot hooks on both sides to eliminate unwanted hook rotation. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for more consistent control, regardless of hand position.

- Apex-style digital gauge
The Apex ER features a digital gauge cluster. Readouts include barometric measurements, dual trip meters and a clock! In addition to these functions, the gauge has been styled to match the aggressive lines of the Apex body work.

- Standard electric start
Yamaha’s electric starter system allows consumers to fire up their Apex ER with the turn of a key. There is no pulling on a nylon cord to get this high-tech engine growling! Electric start has been a standard feature on all of Yamaha’s 4-stroke machines.
