2020 Yamaha Wolverine X4 XT-R

2020 Yamaha Wolverine X4 XT-R

This XT-R Edition is ready for extreme adventure with a factory installed Warn Winch, Special Edition paint, color matched wheels, and aggressive GBC Dirt Commander tires.

Features may include:

• Smooth and Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Wolverine X4 XT-R 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 an offset cylinder block to reduce friction losses, while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensures smooth running from idle to redline.

• 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 belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. The robust clutch features an oversized belt for durability, while maintaining low cruising rpm for smooth, quiet running.

• On-Command 4WD

Yamaha’s renowned On-Command 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a full diff-locked 4WD. Unlike competitors’ automatic 4WD systems, On-Command puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in any sort of terrain.

• 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 X4 XT-R is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational side-by-sides ever built. Sneak through trails without disturbing nearby animals, conversing with your passengers, or simply enjoy the improved refinement after a long day riding on the trail.

• Roomy Four-Person Cabin

Four high-backed seats with shoulder bolsters and automotive-style three-point seat belts provide a comfortable perch for everyone on board, even with four adults. More importantly, the Wolverine X4 XT-R offers plenty of foot room, including in the rear seats, which feature stadium-style seating and enhanced visibility. Multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards and an adjustable driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.

• Plush Suspension

Thanks to the well-developed suspension tuning, the Wolverine X4 XT-R provides a plush, well-damped riding feel that further improves cabin comfort. 2020 updates includes updated front piggyback-style fully adjustable shocks with enhanced feel, while new A-arms and linkages ensure smoother suspension action across the range of shock travel, too.

• Industry’s Most Durable CVT

The Wolverine X4 XT-R 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 and is backed by the industries only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.

• Reliable Engine Lubrication and Cooling

With a large oil capacity circulating in the dry-sump system, a liquid-cooled oil cooler, and a large radiator with integrated blower, the Wolverine X4 XT-R powerplant is able to handle the toughest jobs without complaint.
