Advanced FOX 2.0 QS3 Suspension

The advanced and heavy-duty suspension is designed to provide maximum articulation in low speed situations and a balanced feeling when trail riding. Wide-arc A-arms paired with high performance long travel FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks provide incredible bottoming resistance with smooth high speed damping. These units can be switched between three custom positions tool-free to enhance comfort during relaxed driving, increase damping for normal trail riding and maximise damping during sport driving.

Selectable Electric Power Steering
Selectable Electric Power Steering

The Wolverine RMAX4 1000 XT-R Compact's class-leading selectable EPS system that allows drivers to select between three different steering modes to match driving preference via a dash-mounted switch. HIGH mode offers more assistance, best for low-speed maneuvers and relaxed riding. STANDARD mode is a great balance of light steering and positive feedback for trail riding. And LOW mode provides less assist for greater feedback and a sportier feel that’s perfect for higher speed riding. There’s also a differential lock setting that offers maximum steering assist when the front differential lock is engaged.

Proven Transmission
Proven Transmission

The Proven Off-Road technology of Yamaha’s Ultramatic® system is unmatched in the industry. The CVT system utilises a centrifugal wet clutch purpose-built to withstand the power from the 999cc engine, and a constant tension belt system for tackling obstacles in high rev range without fear of damaging the belt. When more torque is needed, the low gear is perfect for challenging conditions. The robust CVT system means less time switching gears and more fun taking on any terrain.

Premium Front Bumper
Premium Front Bumper

A multi-piece front bumper gives the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R a stylish look. With two welded steel trailering tie-down points, factory-installed WARN® VRX 4500lb winch, accessory brush guard, and accessory pod light-mounting brackets, you'll confidently be able to take on the toughest terrain.

Best Braking System
Best Braking System

The one-way sprag clutch offers natural and predictable engine braking at all speeds. Maximising traction and reducing wear on the vehicle's brake system helps descend hills with confidence. The all-wheel engine braking combined with the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R brake calipers and rotors results in excellent feel and feedback for confidence-inspiring stopping power. With 255mm rotors and 32mm dual piston calipers up front and 244.5mm rotors and 27mm dual piston calipers in the rear, the perfectly-matched master cylinder and steel braided brake lines bring the RMAX to a stop, even in the toughest of terrains.

Advanced LED Lights

Stealthy, advanced LED headlights with lo and hi beam provide wide coverage for confidence-inspiring nighttime driving. LED marker lights showcase the XT-R's unique, sleek style while integrated LED taillight, brake light and reverse light keep you visible on the trail and enhance visibility when reversing.

Speed Management System
Speed Management System

The Wolverine RMAX4 is equipped with Yamaha's Speed Management System which uses the YCC-T to limit the vehicle to a top speed of 40 kph without sacrificing the full power of the 999cc engine. Speed is governed by a removeable key which makes the system ideal for work sites or other special operating conditions.

Legendary Durability
Legendary Durability

Yamaha's proven durability is highlighted by the durable surface treatments and carbon steel construction of the front differential and rear gear case. It is can also be seen in the large 62mm front and 72mm rear DAC (Double Angular Contact) wheel bearings, forged sway bar links, wide pitch A-arms and single stamped A-arms, and large vehicle-specific ball joints.

Built Real World Tough
Built Real World Tough

Like all of Yamaha's Side-by-Sides and full-size ATVs, the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R is assembled with pride in the USA at Yamaha's state-of-the-art factory in Newnan, Georgia. This is one of the reasons that Yamaha Motor Australia specifies a three year factory warranty on RMAX and all other four-wheeled utility vehicles.
