YXZ1000R SS

High-performance 3-cylinder engine

The 998cc DOHC engine is an ultra-compact three-cylinder, 12-valve layout, delivering breathtaking acceleration all the way up to its thrilling 10,500 rpm red line – in fact, it creates a whole new class on the SxS scene. What’s more, the heat-treated conrods are designed to take further race-tuning – whenever you’re ready for even more power!

Rear-mounted radiator

For this advanced design, the radiator was moved from the front of the vehicle to high up on the rear cargo area to avoid mud clogging. The twin hi-volume radiator fans provide a massive airflow to keep engine temperature under control in all conditions.

29" Big Horn Tyres and FOX® Podium Shock

The 29" 8-ply Big Horn tyres – mounted on 14" aluminium wheels – are more durable, increase ground clearance and are ready to tackle any terrain. The adjustable FOX® Podium 2,5 shocks are recalibrated to match.

Yamaha Auto-Shift Technology with three modes: “Au

Get a sporty feeling, even with automatic transmission, or choose to go manual. “Auto” mode gives a more relaxed driver experience, with low RPMs and higher gears. “Sport Auto” shifts automatically at a higher RPM delivering an adrenalin rush, before downshifting quickly when braking. “Sport Shift” is manual transmission for ultimate direct-connection, allowing you to select gears and shiftpoints via paddle shifters.

Launch-control system

Our awesome launch-control system allows you to accelerate very rapidly from a standstill and power through the 6-speed transmission at full throttle where conditions permit. Initiated by pulling back both paddles simultaneously while pressing the foot brake, this YCC-S-controlled system sets you free when you release the brake and paddles.

Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift (YCC-S)

The intelligent Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift (YCC-S) is the key to the Sport Shift system. The sophisticated YCC-S monitors a series of sensors and instantaneously disengages and engages the clutch when required, for seamless deceleration and acceleration. Clutch shifting and engagement is also faster at all speeds.

Stylish body and ROPS design

The front bonnet design incorporates a special mounting space for the installation of night-riding LED lights and despite the dominant radiator location, we’ve found room for a small cargo area at the rear. The ROPS has a sleek design straight top bar providing excellent visibility when climbing.
