⚙️ Engineered for Real-World Performance

Unleash the 999cc RMAX-Derived Engine

Under the hood is a 999cc liquid-cooled, DOHC parallel-twin engine—the same powerhouse that drives Yamaha’s premium performance UTVs. With smooth and instant response delivered through Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), the Wolverine X2 1000 R-Spec offers class-leading torque that’s just as impressive at low speeds as it is on open trails.

Ultramatic® CVT Transmission with Engine Braking

Yamaha’s Ultramatic® V-belt transmission ensures seamless power delivery and long-term durability. With all-wheel engine braking and a 10-year belt warranty, you’ll have confidence in every gear change—especially on those steep descents.

🔄 Trail-Ready Drive System

Selectable 2WD / 4WD / Diff-Lock with On-Command®

Need traction? The On-Command® system gives you 3 drive modes—2WD, 4WD, and full diff-lock—at the push of a dash-mounted dial. Switch modes instantly as terrain changes, and never lose your grip in critical moments.

🛞 Nimble and Comfortable on Any Terrain

Long‑Travel Suspension Built for Control

Sporting piggyback shocks with adjustable high/low-speed compression and preload, the Wolverine X2 1000 R-Spec keeps you in control, even when the terrain gets wild. Its compact chassis and sway bars offer stability without sacrificing agility—perfect for navigating tight Aussie trails.

Trail‑Tuned Agility

A narrow dash, low-profile hood, and well-balanced centre of gravity make this Wolverine feel much more agile than its specs suggest. Despite being loaded with features, it handles tight trails and bushland with ease.

🧰 Packed with Practical Utility

This isn’t just a trail toy—it’s a serious workhorse.

• Cargo bed capacity: 272 kg (tilting)
• Towing capacity: 907 kg with standard 2″ receiver
• Fuel tank: 34.8 L for all-day riding
• Tyres: 28″ Maxxis Bighorn on 14″ aluminium wheels

Whether you’re fencing a paddock or hauling firewood, the Wolverine is up to the job.

🛡️ Yamaha Durability Comes Standard

Built to last, the Wolverine X2 1000 R-Spec features Yamaha’s industry-renowned reliability and robust construction. From its reinforced chassis to its precision-sealed electronics, every inch is made to handle the punishment of serious off-road use.
