Yamaha ups the ante with its latest sporty UTV called the Wolverine RMAX.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, Kawasaki<\/a> tried to own the UTV segment by launching its 2021 Teryx 1000<\/a>. However, Yamaha didn’t wait for long to answer to Kawasaki’s launch. On September 4, Yamaha added a formidable opponent \u2014 the ROV Wolverine RMAX-1000 \u2014 to its sports-focused lineup. And, fortunately, the side-by-side will also be available in the North American market.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Wolverine RMAX-1000 will undoubtedly stir up the competition as it comes with completely overhauled features, including a range of exciting and sporty add-on options.<\/p>\n

The Yamaha<\/a> RMAX-1000 will be offered in two basic variants, a two-seater, and four-seater, while more sub-variants with different performance and cosmetic features are also available.<\/p>\n

Interior\/Exterior Design and Accessories<\/h2>\n

The Wolverine RMAX-1000 features aggressive and sporty styling and premium decals on the outside, as well as a color matching dashboard and interior setup. Moreover, high-end trims get integrated audio systems, Adventure Pro GPS systems, and door speakers.<\/p>\n

The Engine Roaring Inside<\/h2>\n

Yamaha utilizes an all-new liquid-cooled 999cc parallel-twin engine in the Wolverine MAX series, producing around 109HP, more than enough for a spirited ride on various terrains. Speedfreaks will be happy to hear that Yamaha engineers tuned the Wolverine’s engine to achieve high torque when accelerating from lower to higher speed ranges. At the same time, a 270\u2070 cross-plane crankshaft is used to lower vibrations.<\/p>\n

Seamless and Durable CVT Transmission<\/h2>\n

The Wolverine RMAX 1000 features a highly-advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), enabling seamless gear changes. Yamaha also provides a 10-year belt-life warranty on the transmission since it uses an Ultramatic centrifugal clutch system, significantly reducing wear and tear.<\/p>\n

The transmission also features low and high gearing, as well as a reverse gear. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t come with a turf mode.<\/p>\n

With that being said, it does come with a locking front differential with an EPS speed-sensitive system to achieve better steering and maneuverability.<\/p>\n

Three Driving Modes for Increased Drivability on Various Surfaces<\/h2>\n

A three-position quick-switch on the dashboard allows the rider to navigate through drive modes and quickly change the engine characteristics.<\/p>\n
