The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport delivers class-leading power and smooth performance thanks to its potent 999cc DOHC eight-valve parallel-twin engine, featuring legendary Yamaha reliability.
Like all of Yamaha's Side-by-Sides and full-size ATVs, the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R is assembled with pride in the USA at Yamaha's state-of-the-art factory in Newnan, Georgia. This is one of the reasons that Yamaha Motor Australia specifies a three year factory warranty on RMAX and all other four-wheeled utility vehicles.
For accessibility in low light conditions, the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R features an interior light package to easily navigate controls. The blue LED lighted switches, floor lights, and console lighting complement the automotive-inspired cockpit and are colour-matched to the blue backlit meter for a high-quality feel and premium look.
The Proven Off-Road technology of Yamaha’s Ultramatic® system is unmatched in the industry. The CVT system utilises a centrifugal wet clutch purpose-built to withstand the power from the 999cc engine, and a constant tension belt system for tackling obstacles in high rev range without fear of damaging the belt. When more torque is needed, the low gear is perfect for challenging conditions. The robust CVT system means less time switching gears and more fun taking on any terrain.
Large storage optimised to provide protection from the elements, the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport features a sealed 2.7L centre console, a 5.5L sealed glove box, and centre console cubbies. Both occupants can also quickly access their belongings with driver and passenger storage shelves containing secure rubber mats to keep items in place and two easy-to-reach cup holders.
Featuring the best automotive-style driver and passenger soft touchpoints in its class, the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport provides a more relaxed experience even over rough terrain. The steering wheel and passenger handhold have the top shape and soft-touch in the market while providing a quality feel way beyond the competitors' hard plastic. Additional comfort points are strategically placed in locations where knees and arms frequently contact interior components.
Premium cut-and-sew comfort seats offer exceptional seating position for a planted feel and reduced fatigue, which is essential for occupants to enjoy the driving experience. The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport keeps occupants comfortable and secure with its wide bolstering and additional leg room for larger occupants. The driver's seat has increased adjustability compared to previous Wolverine models, combined with an easy-to-adjust six-position seat belt for added comfort.
The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport features a tilting cargo bed to simplify hauling duties. Built with hydraulic assistance and a robust latch system, the bed transports up to 272kg with multiple steel tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. Add in a full 907kg of towing capacity through a standard 2-inch receiver, and the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport is ready to work when you are.
Advanced LED headlights provide a wide beam pattern to boost confidence in low-light conditions. The 7.6W LED mono-focus low beam keeps the trail visible in normal conditions, while the 15.2W LED reflector-type high beam handles darker conditions. LED marker lights showcase the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport's unique, sleek style and integrated LED taillight, brake light, and reverse light keep you visible on the trail and enhance your vision when backing up.
A new On-Command® four-wheel drive system now includes Turf Mode which unlocks the rear differential for a tighter turning radius and minimal turf damage, ideal for preserving your grass during household chores or any time you find yourself on delicate turf. The updated front differential also offers quicker locking engagement and disengagement.
The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport's class-leading Electric Power Steering takes a big step forward for 2025 with an all-new selectable EPS system that allows drivers to select between three different steering modes to match driving preference via a new dash-mounted switch. HIGH mode offers more assistance, best for low-speed maneuvers and relaxed riding. STANDARD mode is a great balance of light steering and positive feedback for trail riding. And LOW mode provides less assist for greater feedback and a sportier feel that’s perfect for higher speed riding. There’s also a differential lock setting that offers maximum steering assist when the front differential lock is engaged.
Updated braking system including new calipers, pad material, brake lines and mounting knuckles provide more power, better feel and quieter operation for added confidence when attacking the trail.
Taking the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport to another level of performance, a new suspension tune is aimed at increasing capability and comfort at a range of speeds and differing terrains. Premium dual spring FOX® 2.0 shocks with full high- and low-speed compression adjustability along with preload adjustment offer a taut, sporty feel and increased high-speed bottoming resistance.
