Ready for extreme adventure featuring a factory-installed WARN® winch, Special Edition paint, color-matched wheels and aggressive tread pattern GBC® Dirt Commander® tires.

Features may include:

• Real World Tech

Yamaha’s technological advantages are found in every Wolverine X2 850 XT-R: plush adjustable suspension, driver-centric On-Command® 4WD, ultra-reliable Ultramatic® CVT drive system and industry-leading Electric Power Steering.

• Potent 847cc Twin-Cylinder Powerplant

Featuring drive-by-wire throttle, a 270-degree crankshaft design and lightweight internals, the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R shares technology with Yamaha’s class-defining sportbikes for thrilling performance and unmatched refinement on every ride.

• Smooth and Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R is powered by an 847cc DOHC eight-valve parallel-twin engine featuring a full range of advanced Yamaha technology. Forged pistons and connecting rods ensure durable high-rpm performance with Yamaha’s 270° Crossplane Concept Crankshaft for linear torque development and excellent power throughout the rpm range. To improve efficiency, the engine features a dry-sump design for a more compact layout and an offset cylinder block to reduce friction losses. Rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensure smooth running from idle to redline.

• Responsive and Reliable Ultramatic® Transmission

Yamaha’s Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced—and durable—CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking.

• Smooth, Quiet Powertrain

Thanks to helical-cut drivetrain gearing, the rubber-mounted and counterbalanced engine, and a variety of noise- and vibration-reducing inserts around the cabin, the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational Side-by-Sides ever built. Converse with your passenger or simply enjoy the unparalleled refinement on extended adventures.

• Industry’s Most Durable CVT

The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large engine and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
