CAPABILITYThe Wolverine X2 850 XT-R is powered by an 847cc DOHC eight-valve parallel-twin engine featuring a full range of advanced Yamaha technology. 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. Rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensure smooth running from idle to redline.
Yamaha's Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced and durable CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking.
Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD. Unlike competitors' automatic 4WD systems, On-Command® puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in various types of terrain.
COMFORTThanks 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 X2 850 XT-R is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational Side-by-Sides ever built. Converse with your passenger or simply enjoy the unparalleled refinement on extended adventures.
High-backed seats with improved adjustability combine with updated pedal positions to create a more comfortable cockpit for drivers of various sizes, while compact shoulder bolsters, easily adjustable seatbelts and padded knee areas create a more comfortable perch for both driver and passenger. Multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards, quick-adjust driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.
The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R features well-damped suspension at all four corners for excellent chassis control and handling feel. High performance KYB® piggyback shocks built specifically for Yamaha are fully adjustable with spring preload, rebound, and high- and low-speed compression damping to allow tuning to suit a wide range of driver preferences and conditions.
CONFIDENCEThe Wolverine X2 850 XT-R transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large engine 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 industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
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 X2 850 XT-R powerplant is able to handle the toughest conditions without complaint.
