Features may include:

• XT-R Package

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R stands out with a range of stylish, high-spec components. Advanced FOX® Dual Spring suspension, beadlock rims wrapped in Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis® Carnage™ tires, and enhanced underbody protection come standard. Upgraded centerline lighting provide enhanced visibility. A custom front grab bar mounts a heavy duty WARN® winch package with integrated driver controls while the composite suntop, high-quality painted bodywork, contrast-stitched seats, center-mount mirror and auxiliary lights complete the package.

• The Ultimate Pure Sport SxS

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R is the most focused, high-performance Side-by-Side in the world. Every system on board ensures the YXZ® brings this level of performance to every ride, no matter the terrain—from dunes and deserts to tight woods and muddy trails.

• Stunning, Industry-First Three-Cylinder Engine

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.

• Ergonomics Built for Performance

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R cockpit provides a balance of comfort and control with both the driver’s seat and steering wheel adjustability to ensure the perfect fit. The cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters. Shaped floorboards supply generous legroom while still giving a planted feel.

• Composite Suntop

A strong but lightweight composite suntop keeps the cabin running cool and perfectly matches the rakish lines of the YXZ body. The roof features proper clearance for riders in their helmets, eliminating the cramped feel found in many competitors’ machines. A wide-angle rearview mirror is also tucked under the roof for enhanced rearward visibility.

• Supersport-Style Dashboard

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.

• WARN® Winch Package

To ensure you can get out of even the toughest spots when far away from civilization, 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.
