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.
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.
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.
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.
Large storage optimised to provide protection from the elements, the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R features a sealed 2.7L centre console, a 5.5L sealed glove box, and centre console cubbies. Both occupants can also quickly access their belongings with driver and passenger storage shelves containing secure rubber mats to keep items in place and two easy-to-reach cup holders.
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.
Featuring the best automotive-style driver and passenger soft touchpoints in its class, the Wolverine RMAX4 1000 XT-R provides a more relaxed experience even over rough terrain.

Additional comfort points are strategically placed in locations where knees and arms frequently contact interior components.
Driver and passenger comfort features include a tilt steering wheel with 17 degrees of adjustment, and an adjustable passenger handhold with a robust design that won't get clogged with mud or dirt. Furthering driver comfort, the throttle and brake pedals have been optimised for comfort, while a strategically-designed brake master cylinder cover helps keep the mud and water off the driver's feet.
Premium cut-and-sew comfort seats offer exceptional seating position for a planted feel and reduced fatigue, which is essential for occupants to enjoy the driving experience.

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.
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.
The Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R delivers class-leading power and smooth performance, thanks to its powerful 999cc, DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin engine with an aggressive 8,500 rpm redline and legendary Yamaha durability.
