2019 Yamaha YXZ 1000R

2019 Yamaha YXZ 1000R - The pure sport model gets some significant updates.

Powertrain - Lower gearing in first gear for more technical low speed riding and better performance on tight trails. Heavier duty internal engine components to handle the optional turbo kit.

Cooling System - features a new rear-mounted radiator: this system not only reduces heat in the cabin, it remains clear of mud or debris build-up, and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well. 

New Wheels and Suspension - FOX 2.5 Podium RC2 Shocks with  piggyback reservoirs. 29-inch Maxxis Bighorn tires. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for ride quality, tuneability, and handling.

Larger All-Wheel Disc Brakes - Bigger diameter brake rotors for more power and better feel.

New Styling - An updated frame allows sharper styling from nose to tail, better driver visibility with the low hood design.

2019 Yamaha Wolverine X2.

2019 Yamaha Wolverine X2 - Yamaha releases an all new Wolverine available in June, 2018.

• Twin-Cylinder Engine
  847cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin-cylinder motor. 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.
• Ultramatic CVT Transmission
  An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. In the Wolverine X2, a robust clutching system features an oversized belt for durability under aggressive riding, while still maintaining low cruising rpm for smooth, quiet running.
• On-Command 4WD
  Yamaha’s On-Command 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD. On-Command puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in any sort of terrain.
• Compact and Nimble Chassis
  Designed for maneuverability, with lightweight steering to select the ideal line when tackling obstacles. With an upswept underbody design and wide-arc A-arms, the Wolverine X2 has big approach and departure angles to clear challenging terrain, with plenty of clearance to get in and out of the most remote areas.
• Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle 
  The Wolverine X2 engine utilizes a drive-by-wire system that converts the driver’s commands into precise throttle control. Throttle response is further improved thanks to a ‘high-response’ servo motor for ultrafast throttle application.
• Electric Power Steering
  Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides the best balance of steering assist and positive feedback from the trail, with light steering, speed-sensitive steering response, and minimal fatigue.
• Plush Suspension
  The Wolverine X2 features well-damped suspension at all four corners, for improved chassis control and handling feel. Built for Yamaha by KYB®, these shocks give the X2 a flexible, balanced ride character, for cargo carrying or trail blasting.
• All-Wheel Disc Brakes
  Large 207mm vented disc brakes with two-piston calipers on all four wheels.
• Maximum Versatility
  The Wolverine X2 features an all-new tilting cargo bed. The bed transports up to 600 pounds, with multiple tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. 2,000 pounds of towing capacity. 2-in receiver.
• Adventure Pro Ready
  The Wolverine X2 comes pre-wired for Yamaha’s exclusive Adventure Pro GPS system. This state-of-the-art GPS unit combines a range of functions into a single rugged 7-in full-color display. Search, download, record and share trail routes. With Yamaha’s uniquely integrated software, the Adventure Pro system also communicates with the Wolverine’s ECU to display vehicle data and warnings.
