The YXZ1000R SS XT-R mounts large ultra-aggressive 29-inch Maxxis® Carnage™ radial tyres that offer exceptional traction, durability and steering precision in the most extreme off-road environments. As part of the XT-R package, the beefy tyre tread is mounted on ultra-durable beadlock rims ready for the toughest terrain conditions.
To ensure you can get out of even the toughest spots when far away from civilisation, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a WARN® VRX 4500 winch package mounted via a custom front grab bar. Since the winch package was engineered alongside the XT-R, the winch’s controls are integrated into the electrical system, putting the controls right where the driver needs them.
Four super bright and long-lasting LED headlights provide brilliant forward illumination and give the YXZ1000R SS XT-R a sinister sense of style. Includes a bright LED taillight for extra visibility, while the XT-R package provides even more light thanks to additional centre-mounted auxiliary lights.
The YXZ1000R SS XT-R features instruments inspired by Yamaha’s high-performance supersport motorcycles. Functions include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer, programmable shift light, and readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock.
Designed to bring a Pure Sport riding character like nothing else in the Side-by-Side world, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the flexibility and character that only an inline triple can provide. With a compact, counterbalanced, DOHC cylinder head, a 11.3:1 compression ratio and dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R engine offers exceptional power, a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline and high-strength internals ready to handle high-output demands.
The optimised gear ratios, including a 40% lower first gear, enhance capability and comfort during low-speed operation. The reduced half-clutch time results in improved clutch durability, smoother engagement, and reduced shift-shock and noise.
The enhanced six-speed transmission on the YXZ1000R SS XT-R now also includes all-new Yamaha Auto-Shift Technology, providing the Pure Sport, direct-connection feeling to drivers who prefer automatic transmission, with the flexibility of switching to a manual gear selection for the ultimate direct-connection experience. Through a new dash-mounted dial, users can select between three transmission modes: “Auto”, “Sport Auto” and “Sport Shift".
To ensure peak performance every ride, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a vented, rear-mounted radiator. This system not only reduces heat in the cabin, but it remains clear of mud or debris build-up and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well.
The YXZ1000R SS XT-R features top-shelf FOX® 2.5 Podium® RC2 shocks with dual-spring-rate adjustable crossovers. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, crossover adjustment, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 411mm of front travel and 432mm at the rear along with exceptional ride quality, tuneability and handling.
