Killed this review👌
Really well done by Yamaha ! They hit basically every point x2/x4 owe rs wanted
Unreal how Yamaha kept this a secret. I need to get behind the wheel.
Fore sure. I can't believe how good they can keep a secret. There was basically zero information prior to the teaser videos! I'm excited for this machine as I'd be waiting for a 4 seater that was sportier than the X4....and from Yamaha.
Blindsided with this news. I may have to rethink the can am mav sport...
blackfly53 me too I was thinking hard on one of those for 2021 spring purchase. This will definitely get me to reconsider. Yamaha is definitely quality with a stout engine and transmission. One thing I really don’t enjoy on my Sportsman 850 is the belt drive issues
Great info ,more than most dealers give out. Very nice to see all your information volunteered . Much better than asking the dealer 25+ questions all in a row like a news interviewer.lol
WOW! I'm glad that I waited to pull the trigger on a new SxS. This Yammie looks VERY nice! I think I'll wait to see what you guys think when you can pound it around on some trails and what not. Thanks for the video!
On of the best reviews you guys have put together! Keep up the amazing work
I ordered mine last week. Glad I waited.
Great review bud! Lots of stats! Well done. 😎👌🏻
Very well done and found that it was helpful in better understanding the capabilities of these side by sides, thanks
I'm impressed. Yamaha needed something to compete with the 1000 commander and General, and it looks like they pulled it off. I'll be interested in watching trail riding reviews.
Nice addition to the family. Looking at the prices, way nicer than you get out of the general lineup, with standard features you won’t get out of a general.
WOW! Yamaha with the bells and whistles!
I just one 2 days ago [06/18/21] This is a nice machine. Of course I live in the Sunshine State so we only get to ride in between rain storms lol. This is my first side be side so I can't compare it others but I can say my son that is in know on them tells me it's far beyond the ones he has been around. It will max out at 70 MPH I am guessing that's really good for one. Power wise it's a Beast on both low end and flat out skinning it back down the road. Again being in Florida we have far more mud holes than most so the 4 WD is nice and a must have. Being able to lock up all 4 wheels is not only nice it's a must here. I would tell all to get one but only having it for a few days would by just bragging rights as most want some time behind the wheel before pushing a product.
Great review, Alex! I'm in the market for a SxS and found your review refreshing, in the sense that it wasn't presented by the usual suspects. Looking forward to more reviews from you and Casey.
Hi Alex 😄. You are totally in your element here, I love it 🙂. Blue is an excellent color choice, very cool multi purpose vehicle. Will your Polaris Slingshot driving impressions vid be uploaded soon on TFL? Awesome content.
Great video. Thank you
that is a good looking machine
Excellent job
Great video very informative 👍
Arctic cat sleds have had the Electronically adjustable shocks for a few years now. Arctic cat and Yamaha are good friends of course.
Damn man that was an Awesome Review. Thank You.
Everything on this machine is “super aggressive” lol
You can actually see R1 and R6 inspiration in the face. The light setup especially. Really dig the lines, thing looks sexy af.
Diff lock is nice 👍
Thank you for putting out a video with REAL INFORMATION! I think I may have to trade my RZR XP1K in for a 4-seat Yamaha. This thing checks all the boxes as long as it does at least 65-70mph.
73mph
If you want a 4 seater that actually has a box check out the general.
Just put a deposit on a XT-R 4 seater. Can't wait!
I love a MWB so the 4 seater with adjtability for me although my Rec group locally are all riding turbo's so I need to judge hunting against recreation but I need 4 seats as well. I'd maybe put it up against the Talon at this stage as to which to select in the 1000cc Naturally Aspirated 4 seater.
Yamaha nails everything on this machine..
Great video. Yamaha builds the most reliable vehicles in the industry and this is a solid offering from them. Sometimes Yamaha misses the performance mark but it looks like they have nailed everything on this model
Yamaha is the best, i have an can am i can tell you there is a big difference on quality
Pretty neat machine. I could go for a little more wheelbase on the 4 seat though. 105-110 would be a nice do it all 4 seater wheelbase IMO.
Wow I’m sold haha for fun reasons now 😱
Reminds me of a combination of the general and the pioneer
Love it yes yes yes
I’m hoping the 2nd generation yxz will be the machine I have been waiting for. Have owned a 17 yxz ss se and currently own a turbo s, KRX and talon r.
nice review and format. seem like fantastic machines!! Pricing is out of control...IMHO. Still...I'd love to have one in my garage. Merci
Sorry Alex!!! I gotta head back to work Bro...but I'll watch this right afterwards for sure...Sorry man!
Not to be rude, but I don't think he cares
The x4 looks much better than the older version, just with the roof alone.
First time seeing this guy
Nice review, gotta have machine. I caught myself slobbering.
Yamaha dose have the best belts i have a 04 grizzly 660 with the original belt on it from 04.
Finally there is some legitimate competition for the Polaris General. Let's face at the CanAm Commander hasn't been a contender.
Yamaha baby
I would love to see you guys do a video on the Honda 500. They are half the price of these.
NICE!!!
Well this a super nice sxs. I think it will be an easy choice for me. I am looking to purchase next spring once I sell my Sportsman 850 (which I haven’t had any problems with) atv now. Wasn’t sure what to get but Yamaha is definitely a smart choice for reliability and qualities. And I don’t need all the power anyways. Very nice machine can’t wait to see them in the show room floor. Actually I’m in the process of buying a 14’ Viper SR for my trail sled this year. Go Yamaha lol.
That's a surprising amount of travel out of a rear a arm setup!
I have a 2019 I love it but we want something with a little more power and comfort they just solved my issue we were going to buy a YFZ 1000 but not now Yamaha is great
Looks like Honda is going to have the put the Talon engine and longer travel suspension into the Pioneer to stay competitive with this new Yamaha in that area. Nice machine, this is what I've been waiting for to upgrade my sxs. Waiting for the real world tests.
I like that 2 seater! Anyone know how quiet this one is vs the X2?
Very very nice! But not enough to get me out of my 2017 YXZ!
I was really hoping they would bring the YXZ up to date.
I wanted a yxz 4 seater
Kevin A 2nd channel same
Would have liked to see a 50” yxz
Maybe make it so it doesn’t burn clutches out all the time.
I like it but kinda odd to have no cargo area for the 4 seat version
It's got cargo space
They should do something similar for the grizzly imo, with 1000cc twin engine.
Similar to the outlander 1000.
They would sell like hot cakes, people have wanted this for ages.
Oh, and while you are at it make a tw200 with >300cc.
MotoKinkGDL nice ideas! And I’d like to see a WR450 street edition type bike a dual sport like Honda has with the CRF450L
Looks clean asf, is this a sport?? Comparing to razors and Mavericks?? If not I could imagine what’s coming up !!
Maybe we'll eventually get 1000+CC SxS, imagine the TQ from a 1300-1600cc UTV?
Good video, but confused how you couldn't mention the obvious comparison of the Honda Talon...
Make mine a 2-seat LE 🤤
It would be great if you guys could compare this vs the General head to head. I think the General is the best work/play SXS, but I am intrigued by this.
*was the best lol
This has 8 more hp, nearly an inch more travel in the front, several more inches in the rear, a little more ground clearance, just to start lol.
@@tristan6351 I agree this may be the better of the two as far as play, but i want a work comparison as well. I have a 2020 Can Am X3 RR XRC for pure play and a 2014 Arctic Cat 4 seat wildcat 1000 Sport. I am looking gor a hybrid to replace my Arctic Cat.
The belt system is what sets the Yamaha ahead of both the Can Ams and Polaris. Everything else is about the same. On the Yamaha the belt is under constant tension so when the clutch engages it is buttery smooth. The others have a jerky engagement. Drive them all and you'll choose the Yamaha everytime. The belts also come with a 10 yr warranty from Yamaha. The others don't.
Nice review, I am a Yamaha fan but hoping that it doesn't come with artic cat type quality like the snowmobiles are becoming.
Seems like the days are numbered for the X2 and X4
doubt it. Different price points. 15k for a top level X2 , 22k for the max
YAMAHA : WOLVERINE : 1.000 C.C. : Ótimo Pick-up para Qualquer Estradas : Rodovias :

Parabéns !!!! Yamaha 😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄😃👍🏻
imagina uma dessas no trânsito do BR? ia ser divertido kk
6:42 I realize that those front tyres are not symmetrical. The design of the pattern is in the same direction of both. Is this normal?
yahmha rules I have a viking and a yxz both have been very reliable put Polaris to shame as far as quality
Nice, my wife says go fer it!
Hopefully the dealer gave you a good price when you traded her in.
This can be cross shopped with a Maverick X3 and a RZR...... HECK NO it's nothing like them!!!! Are you kidding me!
The direct competition when it comes to the 2021 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2 1000 is the Honda Pioneer 1000, Polaris General XP 1000, and maybe the Kawasaki Teryx. And the Wolverine RMAX4 would be compared to the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 and the Kawasaki Teryx4 (even though the Teryx is seriously outdated). The Polaris General XP4 1000 as you said is much longer than the Wolverine, because they did it in a different layout. Where the others I have listed have no rear leg room and no bed, the General XP4 has rear legroom and a bed storage to boot, but it is also way longer than the Pioneer, Teryx, or Wolverine. Those 3 are way more trail worthy, but I would still pick the General XP4 over them, because of comfort and storage.
Price wise it will be compared, as he mentioned
Go yamaha 1000cc 🤩🤩🤩
Did they make it so we don’t have to add snorkels?
What’s the tire size on 2 seat and 4 seat?
Wonder how it stacks up with the pioneer. Strange that you didn’t compare that one...
whens suzuki coming out with the turbobusa side by side
Suzuki is never going to build a side by side. They missed the boat.
@@gregrowe1168 those balls youre rubbing are not crystal.. they belong to your neirborboy
Kind of reminds of a smaller general.
Can you imagine heading out on a day long trail ride in the 4 seater, with four people, and have absolutely no way to carry any gear???
I mean, if you're just doing a basic trail ride and not mountain goating it or sport trailing it, get a tubular shelf extention for the rear hitch.
If it was just the 2 seater, I'd go for the RMAX. But, I want the 4 seater. I'm going for the Polaris General. I need the cargo space and the 4 seats.
they have them with 4 seaters
I don't like their 4 seater model, which is why I said I'd go with the General.
Mine
Would you say it is a better product than what Andre show cased from Polaris?
Polaris is junk. Everything Yamaha makes us superior to anything Polaris makes, that’s a stone cold fact beyond contestation.
Wonder if it uses the tiny rhino hub bearings....
what about the top speed in one of those?
Where can I put my cooler in the 4 seater?
The back seats travel, giving a little flat bed
There's room for a cooler unless your bringing a 150 qt igloo
Wait, wait, wait. Is that really the engine out of the R1? That will sound incredible.
No lol. R1 is a 4 cylinder, this is a 2 cylinder.
@@tristan6351 I know the R1 is, I used to have one. my bad, I misunderstood what he said.
I need to trade my 2020 x2 rspec
how does this not get compared to the pioneer?
Any idea for top speed on either machine?
Hearing 70 mph
the engine is more like a 1200 super tenere I would bet anyone that has the wolverine x2 x4 is going shit I cant win just like when they came out with x2/x4 with 850 engine when I just bought a wolverine r spec with a706 cc
Yamaha needs to update the yxz to compete with the power of the RZR and the X3
It is coming
Yamaha could put the RZR and X3 out to pasture for good at the snap of a finger. That Sidewinder engine would be the end game
The only option I want is a license plate. As long as NHTSA doesn’t ruin it.
For anyone wondering the cross plane parallel twin will basically sound like a typical v twin. not like a rowdy Harly v twin , but like a smooth japanese or italian built v twin , of coarse the exact sound will be dictated by the exhaust. But you can find plenty of parallel cross plane twin engines in the motorcycle world. Also the claim that the crank was inspired by an R1 sounds like super cheesy marketing wankateering lol.
Umm..no, no they do not sound like V-twins. They are PARALLEL TWINS. Hence the name, parallel..not V-Twin. This is a faster and higher revving engine and it will sound like an R-1 unless they put a big muffler. All you have to do is add exhaust. We just got the first one off the truck.
@@brandondougan3832 ive heard the audio. you can compare it directly to a small displacement v twin. I guess it doesn't matter cause its all subjective anyway. you cant really be wrong per say. It has to do specifically with what bikes motors i have heard. vs what you are thinking.
Well I'm sitting in one right now and not like a vtwin.
Muffler quiets it down though
Them headlights look freash af🥴
Automotive CVT "belts" go for 100k miles plus, no problem. Neat machines, but at the price points, belt replacement should be a non-issue.
They should have used a bigger three cylinder like out of the mt09. But still cool!
SXS class vehicles are essentially restricted to 1000cc motors no mater what, has to do with EPA , US forest service restrictions , registration classifications , and insurance laws.
Yea he was saying mt09 3 cylinder....it’s 900cc
@@tylermatthews7655 that makes more sense , i see it now.
Did he not say what size the tires were ?
Nope
dwarden3 had to look them up. 30”
Where’s Steven !
I have my doubts that it will be able to compete with the General. The General is a pretty badass machine. Ive seen people drive them around a track faster than a Talon 1000x. Nice machine but not the best in its class.
Definitely an improvement. Yamaha needed this in their line up. No they need to update the yxz and give it better shocks and suspension geometry and more hp with upgraded drivetrain. They make quality products just getting out dated.
I went on a trip with a couple that had just bought a new General 4 seater, broke down the second day of the trip -- very disappointing for everyone. This is a common theme for Polaris. I just went on a trip to Moab, my brother has a 2020 RZR turbo 4 seater. It has 600 miles on it, and on the last day I drove it for a while. It is a rattle trap, clunky, and has a harsh ride! Yamaha has Polaris beat hands-down when it comes to quality, dependability, and fit and finish. I have a 2019 YXZ SS SE with 6500 miles on it. It runs flawlessly, not rattles, no clunkiness, etc. The cab is tight as a dish. No comparison.
My biggest problem with Yamaha yxz is the bad suspension geometry. It nose dives so bad when u jump it.
How are you not even going to mention honda in the whole video during your comparisons
Because he loves motorcycles?
Oouf! You speak so much
surprised that Yamaha can come up with nice powerful sxs but can't come up with a powerful 2 up quad.
Yamaha needs to announce a v-twin (or equivalent) Grizzly. Then we'll be getting somewhere.....
Can confirm. The Yamaha belt drives are extremely robust and last for many miles...even under heavy abuse. This one should be no different.
Probably not going to happen, too much power for a quad and sales are sluggish. UTV's are the future...
@@twobeer3316 Both Polaris and Can Am have 1000cc power plants in their Quads pushing 100 hp.
Nice. Can't justify spending that kind of money on a toy though. However, that is still very nice!
I use mine for work, so it's a tax write off!
dwarden3 smart man 👍🏼
Did I miss it? What's the HP?
108hp
Did you mean “super power??”
From the title I was expecting a 200hp turbo;(
Is the engine in the same place ?
Hot and loud ? No thanks ..
