Features

Engine

Powerful 999cc Parallel Twin Engine
- The Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 delivers class-leading power and smooth performance, thanks to its new, powerful 999cc, DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin engine, featuring legendary Yamaha durability.

Smooth, Quiet Powertrain
- Helical-cut drivetrain gearing, rubber-mounted and counterbalanced engine, with a variety of noise and vibration reducing inserts around cabin make for one of the quietest cabins in the industry
The Toughest Transmission
- The Proven Off-Road technology of Yamaha’s Ultramatic® system is unmatched in the industry. The CVT system utilizes a new, 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.
On-Command 4WD
- Renowned On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between Turf Mode, 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD
Reliable Engine Lubrication and Cooling
- Large oil capacity circulates in the dry-slump system with a liquid-cooled oil cooler
- Features a big radiator with integrated blower
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T)
- Utilizes YCC-T®, a drive-by-wire system that converts the drivers command into precise throttle control. Throttle response is further improved thanks to a high-response servo motor for ultrafast throttle application

Chassis

Terrain-Tackling Chassis
- For maximum terrainability, the Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 features a solid and durable frame that is designed to provide superior off-road confidence. Along with its class-leading suspension, 29-inch tires, and an optimized wheel base provide a balanced contact-to-ground feel in extreme terrain.
Comfortable, Secure Seats
- An exceptional seating position provides a planted feel and reduces fatigue, which is essential for occupants to enjoy the driving experience. The new Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 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 a new no-tool, easy-to-adjust, six-position seat belt for added comfort.

Roomy Four-Person Cabin
- The Wolverine RMAX4 1000 offers comfortable, secure seating for four full-sized adults with comfortable handholds and six-position seat belts for each seat. The second row is raised for excellent visibility, so everyone gets a great view of their surroundings.
Versatility for Cargo
- The Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 is one of the most versatile machines in the two-row side-by-side market. In addition to its ability to comfortably seat one, two, three or four adults, including cargo, the Wolverine RMAX4 1000 features an ingenious storage system for cargo flexibility. By folding and sliding the rear seats forward, the rear area expands and securely transports up to 600 pounds of cargo with its multiple steel tie-down points. The Wolverine RMAX4 1000 also features a built in 2-inch receiver to tow a full 2,000 pounds when needed.
Heavy-Duty Three-Piece Door Design
- A three piece, easy-to-open door design features a steel inner structure, a molded outer door skin and a molded inner door panel for a quality feel. The robust inner door handles keep the mud out to work smoothly, even in the harshest of conditions. The doors feature integrated snap out speaker panels for easier upgradability, and soft touchpoints for an automotive feel so occupants are kept comfortable for all-day driving. To ease entering and exiting the vehicle, the front doors feature an enlarged opening, 63% wider than previous Wolverine models. Further increasing comfort, the front shoulder bolster shapes were optimized to expand the upper body opening to maintain a great, secure-feeling on the trail for riders big and small.

Details

Automotive-Style Soft Touchpoints
- Featuring the most automotive-style driver and passenger soft touchpoints in its class, the Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 LE provides a more relaxed experience even over rough terrain. The steering wheel and passenger handhold have the best shape and soft-touch in the market while providing a quality feel way beyond the competitors' hard plastic. Additional comfort points have been strategically placed in locations where knees and arms frequently contact interior components.
An Imposing Figure with Next Generation Style
- The Wolverine® RMAX™4 1000 wraps next-level capability with an imposing stance, highlighted by aggressive front-end styling and rugged tires. The stealthy front LED headlights and "evil eye" marker lights give this new generation a distinctive look on the trail, and the LED taillight, brake light, and reverse light provide added visibility. With its eye-catching colors, the RMAX's appearance is only rivaled by its own trail-dominating performance.

Selectable Electric Power Steering

The Wolverine RMAX4 1000 Compact Limited's class-leading Electric Power Steering takes a big step forward with a 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.

On-Command® Four-Wheel Drive System

The On-Command® four-wheel drive system now includes Turf Mode which unlocks the rear differential for a tighter turning radius and less 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.

Yamaha Adventure Pro

The Yamaha Adventure Pro System takes your journey to the next level with a seven-inch full-color display neatly integrated into the dash. This advanced adventure tool provides connectivity via Bluetooth or USB, and is loaded with features including navigation compatibility, phone and audio controls, GPS mapping and PIN-lockable geo-fencing, customizable home screen, drive-mode screen, and a rearview camera, all combining to offer Yamaha owners added comfort, capability and confidence out on the trail.

Full-Color Tft Display

A brilliant new full-color TFT display now comes standard in all RMAX Limited models. Replacing the previous model’s LCD display, this new TFT adds to the already premium automotive-quality look and feel of the RMAX Limited’s interior. It offers customizable layouts and function displays so owners can dial in their preferred look and information arrangement, along with a simple, ergonomically friendly button design for easy selections.
