2021 Yamaha Wolverine X2 XT-R 850

Ready for extreme adventure featuring a factory-installed WARN® winch, Special Edition paint, color-matched wheels, and aggressive tread pattern GBC® Dirt Commander® tires.

Features may include:

• XT-R Package

The Wolverine X2 XT-R 850® is equipped with a capable and aggressive-looking package for extreme terrainability, including rugged radial tires, heavy-duty WARN® winch, advanced suspension and a stylish paint and graphics package.

• Real World Tech

Yamaha’s technological advantages are easily found in every Wolverine X2 XT-R 850: plush adjustable suspension, driver-centric On-Command® 4WD, ultra-reliable Ultramatic® CVT and industry-leading Electric Power Steering.

• Smooth and Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Wolverine X2 XT-R 850 is powered by an 847cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin-cylinder motor that features the full range of Yamaha’s advanced performance technologies. 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 while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensure smooth running from idle to redline.

• Responsive and Reliable Ultramatic® Transmission

Yamaha’s Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced—and durable—CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. The robust clutch features an oversized belt for durability while maintaining low cruising rpm for smooth, quiet running.

• On-Command® 4WD

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.

• Smooth, Quiet Powertrain

Thanks 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 XT-R 850 is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational side-by-sides ever built. Converse with your passenger or simply enjoy the improved refinement after a long day riding on the trail.

• Enhanced Ergonomics

High-backed seats with improved adjustability combined with updated pedal positions create a more comfortable cockpit for drivers of various sizes, while newly-designed compact shoulder bolsters, easily adjustable seatbelts and padded knee areas create a more comfortable perch for both driver and passenger in the Wolverine X2 850 R-XT-R. Multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards, quick-adjust driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.

• Plush Suspension

The Wolverine X2 XT-R 850 features well-damped suspension at all four corners for improved chassis control and handling feel. Each piggyback shock is also fully adjustable for spring preload, rebound and high- and low-speed compression damping to allow tuning to suit a wide range of divers and conditions. Built for Yamaha by KYB®, these shocks give the Wolverine X2 XT-R 850 a balanced ride character whether the day calls for carrying cargo or blasting down a trail.

• Superior Mud Protection

The upgraded, fully-enclosed doors and high, wide fenders ensure that mud and rocks stay outside the cabin, so you and your passenger can enjoy the ride even more.
