2026 Wolverine® RMAX™2 1000 XT-R

Powerful 999cc parallel twin engine

The impressive power of the 999cc, DOHC, 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine offers class-leading, smooth performance across the entire power band. With a red line at 8,500 rpm, this machine is built for dynamic and spirited riding. Yamaha's legendary durability and reliability provide riders with complete peace of mind.

FOX® QS3 shocks

With FOX® QS3 Quick Switch technology, change quickly between three specifically calibrated shock settings (soft, medium and firm) for large noticeable changes in ride handling to suit varying trail & off road conditions.

Imposing and aggressive XT-R styling

The unique character of this XT-R model shines through, blending next-level capability with an imposing appearance, thanks to its special colour scheme, aggressive front-end design and rugged tyres. The stealthy front LED headlights and "evil eye" marker lights add more to its distinctive looks, while the LED tail, brake and reverse lights provide excellent visibility.

Advanced, comfort-focused suspension

The heavy-duty suspension is designed to provide a great handling blend: maximum articulation in low-speed situations - a balanced feel when trail riding - and maximum bottoming resistance with a higher-speed damping feel when manoeuvring aggressively. The wide-arc A-arms paired with easily adjustable front and rear FOX shocks help create this ideal set-up.

Three drive modes, one ultra-versatile machine

Yamaha's Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) works with our Ultramatic® transmission and On-Command systems to give perfect power delivery in any situation, via its three-position D-Mode (Drive Mode) control. Choose Sports Mode for wide spaces and spirited driving, Trail Mode for a fun, relaxed ride or Crawl Mode for slow-speed technical tasks like rock crawling.

Stylish and helpful interior lighting

Driving in low light conditions is a real pleasure in this XT-R model, which features a sophisticated interior package with floor and console lighting, easy-to-locate blue LED-lit switch controls and instruments that are also back-lit in blue. This premium-level design approach adds to the attractive ambience of the automotive-quality cockpit.

Born to tackle extreme terrain

Many features deliver this machine’s incredible all-terrain ability: the three-position D-Mode control and our Ultramatic® and On-Command systems give the perfect balance of engine braking and power delivery, the frame is strengthened for a solid and durable feel; and the chassis is matched to the high-spec suspension, so together they provide maximum rigidity.

Versatile cargo facilities

The Wolverine® RMAX™2 1000 models feature a tilting cargo bed to simplify hauling duties. Built with hydraulic assistance and a robust latch system, the bed transports up to 272 kg with multiple steel tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. Add in a full 907 kg of towing capacity through a standard two-inch receiver, and the Wolverine is ready to get to work whenever you are.

Premium front bumper

A multi-piece front bumper gives the Wolverine® RMAX™2 1000 XT-R a very stylish look. With two welded steel tie-down points for trailering, factory-installed WARN® VRX 4500-pound winch, accessory brush guard and accessory pod light-mounting brackets, you'll confidently be able to take on the toughest terrain with complete confidence.

Durability you can count on

With its substantial component parts and solid build quality, this machine provides a truly confidence-inspiring ownership experience. As examples: Super steel front differential and rear gear case; large DAC (Double Angular Contact) wheel bearings; forged sway bar links; wide-pitch, single-stamped A-arms – the list goes on – and so will your all-terrain activities!

Selectable Electric Power Steering

The EPS system allows drivers to select between three different steering modes to match driving preference via a new dash-mounted switch for optimal terrain feedback.
