Capability

• 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.
• ON-COMMAND® 4WD: Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD. Unlike competitors’ automatic 4WD systems, On-Command® puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in various types of terrain.
• EXTREME TERRAIN TIRES: Extreme terrain calls for tires that handle the abuse while providing confidence-inspiring grip and feedback. The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R rolls on 27-inch GBC® Dirt Commander radial tires that not only improve ground clearance and traction but feature rugged 8-ply construction for exceptional durability.
• COMPACT AND NIMBLE CHASSIS: Designed for maneuverability, the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R chassis is super agile, making tight trails a breeze with lightweight steering to select the ideal line when tackling obstacles. With an upswept underbody design, the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R boasts plenty of ground clearance and big approach and departure angles to clear challenging terrain. For enhanced response in tough terrain, the rear A-arms minimize camber changes across the suspension travel.
• YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED-THROTTLE (YCC-T): The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R engine utilizes YCC-T®, a drive-by-wire system that converts the driver’s commands into digital throttle control. Throttle response is further improved thanks to a quick-response servo motor, precision fuel injectors and a high-volume airbox with two-stage air filtration.
• CLASS-LEADING ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides the industry’s best balance of steering assist and positive feedback with light steering and speed-sensitive response for minimized fatigue.
• PLUSH SUSPENSION: The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R features well-damped suspension at all four corners for improved chassis control and handling feel. High performance KYB® piggyback shocks built specifically for Yamaha are fully adjustable with spring preload, rebound, and high- and low-speed compression damping to allow tuning to suit a wide range of driver preferences and conditions.
• POWERFUL ALL-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: Large 207mm vented disc brakes with two-piston calipers provide exceptional stopping power on all four wheels with excellent feel.
• MAXIMUM VERSATILITY: The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R features a tilting cargo bed to simplify hauling duties. Built with hydraulic assistance and a robust latch system, the bed transports up to 600 pounds with multiple steel tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. Add in a full 2,000 pounds of towing capacity from the standard 2-inch receiver and the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R is ready to work when you are.
• ADVENTURE PRO READY: The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R comes pre-wired for Yamaha’s exclusive Adventure Pro® GPS system, unlocking the next level of trail-ready navigation. This state-of-the-art GPS unit combines a range of functions into a single, rugged 7-inch full-color display. Search, download, record and share trail routes. With Yamaha’s uniquely integrated software, the Adventure Pro system displays advanced vehicle data with exceptional clarity.
