Its versatile Real World Tough design – purpose built for exploration, work, and play – features a comfortable two-person cab configuration, along with a newly designed 600-pound-rated piston-assist dump bed with an automotive-style single-hand operated tailgate, and impressive 2,000-pound towing capacity.

Versatility Unequaled

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE offers a balance of work-ready functionality, refined comfort and trail-proven capability that makes Yamaha the ultimate outdoor adventure partner.

Smooth and Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE is powered by an 847cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin-cylinder motor that features the full range of Yamaha’s advanced performance technologies. 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 offset cylinder block to reduce friction loss, while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensures smooth running from idle to redline.

Roomy, Practical Ergonomics

With high-backed seats, each with shoulder bolsters and automotive-style three-point seat belts, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE provides a comfortable perch for driver and passenger. A standard sun top, multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards and adjustable driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.

Ultra-Quiet Cabin

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE is one of the smoothest and quietest side-by-sides ever made. Noise, vibration and harshness—NVH in engineering terms—is minimalized thanks to the refinement of the twin-cylinder powerplant as well as an array of specially-formed body panels and insulating dampers throughout the chassis.

Class-Leading Electric Power Steering

Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides the industry’s best balance of steering assist and positive feedback from the trail, with light steering, speed-sensitive steering response, and minimal fatigue.

Full-enclosed doors and high, wide fenders ensure that mud, rocks and sticks all stay outside the cabin so you and your passenger can enjoy the ride even more.

LED Lighting

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE features LED headlights and taillights, for brilliant visibility, long life and minimal power draw.

Accessory Ready

With nearly 600 watts of electrical output from the engine, a standard 12V DC port and multiple pre-wired accessory switches, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE is ready for a wide range of accessories and add-ons.

Compact and Nimble Chassis

Designed for maneuverability, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE 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 and wide-arc A-arms, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE boasts big approach and departure angles to clear challenging terrain, with plenty of clearance to get in and out of the most remote areas.

Industry’s Most Durable CVT

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor, 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.

Full Underbody Skid Plates

Skid plates protect the entire underbody of the Wolverine X2 R-Spec SE, from the front differential to the rear gear case, to ensure gnarly terrain doesn’t stop you. And as with other Yamaha machines, the skid plates include convenient service points to access fluid drain locations without removing the guards.

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 and minimal noise.
