My dealership gave me 3 years insurance with gap . All electrical covered 10 year belt warranty. Drive train covered. No bs. That told me something told the dealer im on my way with my trailer. Took it out this weekend put it threw some rock crawling trails i no no complaints very happy. Buy what u like and do what u love.
2021 4 seater is amazing. When I run as a two seater I take the seats out for even covered cargo space. I even built a rack that bolts in where seats bolt in.
I have a 2021 LE it's a great machine. I have back issues and cannot drive in some machines without being in pain. It has lots of power and the majority of the time I use trail mode, Crawl I use for loading on a trailer ,climbing steep grades and crossing my lawn. Sport mode on fire roads ect...the response can be scary. Also in sport mode no engine breaking. A group of us crossed NFLD last year it worked great. Downside of things in Canada it next to impossible to purchase the Maxis Carnage tires unless purchased from Yamaha for $600 per tire. The drive side during rain the water drips off the roof on to your leg. It’s hard to get after market parts for the RMAX in Canada. Keep this in mine before you purchase.
@@garretwitterholt5842 The sport's definitely not cheap. Lots of guys financing or trading-up their vehicles. Leaves lots of used equipment out there to buy and there's a ton of less expensive models out there as well.
I want one but the biggest issue for me is the full time locked rear end. We ride around around neighborhood in between rides and afraid the tires will wear out fast.
Buy a hard pack tire. I have 7000 miles on my Tusk Terrabites on my RMAX4. I have 8500 miles total, 49% of that on hard pack/pavement and zero issues. Just make sure you run stock and not low tire pressure when on pavement.
I need to go test drive one. How is the heat in the back? I hear they are real loud, but not sure what people that say that are comparing that to. I have had can am and Polaris and didn’t think either of those were horrible.
@@travistravis8954 heat in the back isn't an issue with just a front windshield and normal tral speeds. Full cab enclosure and/or super slow below 10 MPH extended rides (I don't know who does this but apparently some do) it can build up. Weller Racing tune helps cool things down via lower cooling fan activation and longer fan cycle along with richening up the fuel mixture, cooling down the exhaust, which runs lean by default for emissions purposes.
Love this machine. IF I could afford it, I’d be torn between having 4 seats or having a dump bed with the 2 seater. Lol maybe Santa will be nice to me.
I went to see about one of these today. I might wait until December but I’m leaning hard towards the RMax . The adventure one with the electronic suspension and gps and radio. I’ve never owned a side by side
I had a 2021 Rmax 4 for about a year. I installed a glass windshield with power wipers , roof , inferno heater, larger wheels and tires and a soft full enclosure. Loved the drivetrain and 4wd system and decent power. I ride mostly in the fall and winter in central Pennsylvania and it was ok with the accessories I installed. I rode my buddy’s Polaris Ranger 4 door northstar with ride command and sold my Rmax within a week and bought a 2 door Ranger northstar with ride command , and they are totally different machines. Ranger isn’t even remotely close to the Rmax in drivetrain and 4wd system and power. Rmax isn’t even remotely close to the Ranger in comfort due to factory roll down windows , heat and a/c, wipers, and the BEST gps system in any SxS (Ride Command) and overall utility and 1wd. I’ve had my Ranger for a year and a half and I’ve had zero issues and drive my Ranger like it’s a sport SxS.
I’ve sat in this at the dealership. Getting in and out of the back is sadly a deal breaker. I cant figure how to get out without dragging my rear end across the outside of the machine. I imagine I’d wipe off any mud/dirt/water as I did so. Love the look of the machine. I’d get the 2 seater in a heartbeat.
Once you develop muscle memory it's not that bad. Good tip is to have a piece of foam to stuff into the door jamb so you don't have to hold the door open while trying to get in.
sat in one today at karl malone provo and its not too bad. just have to kinda stand slide out. my 70 year old dad got in and out of it. has way more leg room then a general does. im 6'2"
If we're being honest here, I've been patiently waiting for you to drop off my new Rmax4 for my little family....haven't had much time to keep up with all the new this and that but I'm quite sure the Rmax is the best rig for us, our location and needs. We're lacking severely a rig to "calmly" get us through the trail and where we have to go and help out on the property I hope to hear from you great guys soon, I have my gas can full so I'm ready for the rig 😎👍
I have a 22 sport 2 seat I love that machine. Do I beat all my friends in the flats no. But I am the first up technical climbs. Mine has done every trail in moab including the devils hottub.. yes it was sketchy but damn it was fun
Well, you had me all excited for an RMAX, until I seen the price. I've started my family UTV research journey and I can get a Teryx-4 right now for $15k whereas a base model RMAX4 is $24k and over $30k for all the bells and whistles. That's still competitive in the end but is it really worth $10k+ extra? You tell me? If you don't already have a short wheelbase utv comparison vid, I think that would be a great watch. keep up the good work!!!
I have a 2023 Yamaha only 300kmson it and I'm thinking off selling for a different brand. The things just way to loud inside. Comapred to polaris RZR and general can ams etc
Nice review.......108 HP trust me on that spec ;) Fair take on the back seats but I like how you got in/out in your other video. Lots of these bigger guys must have major physical ailments or eat too many Ho-Ho's and drank too much beer. Same goes for their 200 lb 12 year olds who supposedly don't have enough room in the back.
It’s not just about fit. The Rmax has the sliding seat mechanism that’s primitive in my opinion. There’s better options. A Teryx gets you way more rear seat room and a box that’s separate from the rear seating area. There’s far more foot room in a Teryx, bigger entry point when door is open and more leg room to. Anyone who says they’re 6’4” and fit comfortably in an Rmax isn’t telling the truth. The Yamaha is a great machine, no doubt, but they need to re-think the rear seat / cargo box configuration. Then I’d say it’s the best option for a 4 person short wheelbase machine.
I almost bought one but sat in a Kawasaki teryx 4. Way more room in the back and a dealer about 3 hours away could get it for me $12,000 below the rmax4 price I was quoted. For the amount of time I can spend in my sxs the Kawasaki was the best bet for me. The dealer close to me can get that Polaris rzr4 for like 20,000
@@MattSmith-vl8zpExcellent choice. Mines been bulletproof for nearly 3000 miles already. Nothing but oil changes and grease. I convinced 2 other buddies to get a Teryx 4 and they to have had 0 issues. The rear seats are far better then an Rmax or a Honda Pioneer. Sure they’re not as fast, don’t have as much travel, may be a little on the loud side but the price, 3 year warranty, reliability, and comfort with 4 on board made buying one a no brainer!
@@district12tribute28 i guess you're right. Except the rzr will beat it in a straight line race, in a race over whoops, in suspension travel, in riders legroom front and rear, and storage capacity in a 4 seat configuration. The RMax does have the Rzr beat in price though and in a 2 seat configuration the Rmax has more storage than the rzr. Even if you compare it to the General it's the same deal. Rmax is way overpriced for no good reason.
in fairness, the Adventure pro is garbage. Have it on my 22LE here in the US, and it is terrible. Much better off getting a samsung tab and using onx offroad.
Was going to buy one but PLEASE watch the testing where they hit some rough terrain....this sxs sucks ass and the rear end becomes unglued. It's trash in trails with any kind of bumps.
Dunes ARE NOT tough terrain. Stop being indoctrinated by SxSBlog. ROUGH terrain is rock crawling, something the RMAX (in any flavor) DESTROYS the Commander and General at.
Hmmmm, lets see. 30k for the top model Rmax, or 21,600 for the Trail 1000-5 pioneer. does Yamaha have gold bricks tucked away on this unit? oh yes, and the 3 dealerships in my state that actually service yamaha. Way to go Yamaha, kill your own clientele.
Some people are more interested in the Sport side of a Sport Utility vehicle and less about being able to haul a load of horse manure, which is what the Pioneer 'trail' is better-suited at doing. This is why you NEVER see the mostly-utility Pioneer 1000 pitted against the RMAX.
I have a 2022 and put 2300Kms on it so far. Love it, best of both worlds! Fun when alone and great for a day trip with the family 👌

Exactly! This is major oversight by Yamaha. Polaris and Honda offers unlocking rear diffs.

Yes you can swap the stock RMAX2 rims/tires to the RMAX4 without issue.
