Capability

• SMOOTH AND POWERFUL TWIN CYLINDER ENGINE: The Wolverine X2 XT-R is powered by an 847cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin-cylinder motor that features the full range of Yamaha’s advanced performance technologies. Forged pistons and connecting rods ensure durable high-rpm performance, with Yamaha’s 270° Crossplane Concept Crankshaft for linear torque development and excellent power throughout the rpm range. To improve efficiency, the engine features a dry-sump design for a more compact layout and an offset cylinder block to reduce friction losses, while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensures smooth running from idle to redline.
• ULTRAMATIC TRANSMISSION: Yamaha’s Ultramatic transmission is the most advanced—and durable—CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. The robust clutch features an oversized belt for durability, while maintaining low cruising rpm for smooth, quiet running.
• ON-COMMAND 4WD: Yamaha’s renowned On-Command 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a full diff-locked 4WD. Unlike competitors’ automatic 4WD systems, On-Command puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in any sort of terrain.
• UNIQUE XT-R WHEEL AND TIRE PACKAGE: Extreme terrain calls for tires that handle the abuse while providing the confidence-inspiring grip and feedback. The Wolverine X2 XT-R rolls on 27-inch GBC® Dirt Commander® radial tires that not only improve ground clearance and traction, but feature a durable 8-ply construction for exceptional durability.
• COMPACT AND NIMBLE CHASSIS: Designed for maneuverability, the Wolverine X2 chassis is super agile, making tight trails a breeze, with lightweight steering to select the ideal line when tackling obstacles. With an upswept underbody design, the Wolverine X2 XT-R boasts plenty of ground clearance and big approach and departure angles to clear challenging terrain. For 2020, the rear A-arms are redesigned to minimize camber changes across the suspension travel, for enhanced response in tough terrain.
• YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED THROTTLE (YCC-T): The Wolverine X2 XT-R engine utilizes YCC-T®, a drive-by-wire system that converts the driver’s commands into digital throttle control. Throttle response is further improved thanks to a quick-response servo motor, precision fuel injectors, and a high-volume airbox with two-stage air filtration.
• CLASS-LEADING ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides the industry’s best balance of steering assist and positive feedback, with light steering, speed-sensitive steering response, and minimized fatigue.
• PLUSH SUSPENSION: The Wolverine X2 XT-R features well-damped suspension at all four corners for improved chassis control and handling feel. Each piggyback shock is also fully adjustable for spring preload, rebound and high- and low-speed compression damping to allow tuning to suit a wide range of divers and conditions. Built for Yamaha by KYB®, these shocks give the X2 a flexible, balanced ride character, whether the day calls for cargo carrying or trail blasting.
• POWERFUL ALL-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: Large 207mm vented disc brakes with two-piston calipers provide exceptional stopping power on all four wheels, with excellent feel and minimal noise.
• MAXIMUM VERSATILITY: The Wolverine X2 XT-R features a tilting cargo bed to simplify hauling duties. Built with hydraulic assistance and a robust latch system, the bed transports up to 600 pounds with multiple steel tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. Add in a full 2,000 pounds of towing capacity thanks to the standard 2-in receiver, and the Wolverine is ready to get to work when you are.
• ADVENTURE-PRO READY: The Wolverine X2 XT-R comes pre-wired for Yamaha’s exclusive Adventure Pro GPS system, unlocking the next level of trail-ready navigation. This state-of-the-art GPS unit combines a range of functions into a single, rugged 7-inch full-color display. Search, download, record and share trail routes. Challenge your friends to time trials on saved courses. And with Yamaha’s uniquely integrated software, the Adventure Pro system displays advanced vehicle data with exceptional clarity.

Comfort

• SMOOTH, QUIET POWERTRAIN: Thanks to helical-cut drivetrain gearing, the rubber-mounted and counterbalanced engine, and a variety of noise- and vibration-reducing inserts around the cabin, the Wolverine X2 XT-R is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational side-by-sides ever built. Sneak through trails without disturbing nearby animals, converse with your passenger, or simply enjoy the improved refinement after a long day riding on the trail.
• ROOMY, PRACTICAL ERGONOMICS: With high-backed seats, each with shoulder bolsters and automotive-style, three-point seat belts, the Wolverine X2 XT-R provides a comfortable perch for driver and passenger. Multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards, and adjustable driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.
• PLUSH SUSPENSION: Thanks to the well-developed suspension tuning, the Wolverine X2 XT-R provides a plush, well-damped riding feel that further improves cabin comfort. 2020 updates also increase rear suspension travel, enhancing bump absorption.
• SUPERIOR MUD PROTECTION: Fully-enclosed doors and high, wide fenders ensure that mud and rocks stay outside the cabin so you and your passenger can enjoy the ride even more.
• LED LIGHTING: The Wolverine X2 XT-R features LED headlights and taillights, for brilliant visibility, long life and minimal power draw.

Confidence

• INDUSTRY'S MOST DURABLE CVT: The Wolverine X2 XT-R transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor, and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension—the end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust and is backed by the industries only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
• RELIABLE ENGINE LUBRICATION AND COOLING: With a large oil capacity circulating in the dry-sump system, a liquid-cooled oil cooler, and a large radiator with integrated blower, the Wolverine powerplant is able to handle the toughest jobs without complaint.
• FULL UNDERBODY SKID PLATES: Skid plates protect the entire underbody of the Wolverine X2 XT-R, from the front differential to the rear gear case, to ensure gnarly terrain doesn’t stop you. The skid plates also include convenient service points to access fluid drain locations without removing the guards.
