NEW MODELS | Yamaha Unveils MY24 Proven Side-by-Side Lineup

“As the powersports industry continues to grow and reach new audiences, Yamaha is expanding its product offerings to meet the needs of a wider variety of off-road enthusiasts,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s motorsports marketing manager. “From new models to an unrelenting focus on the customer experience, we’re committed to delivering the best adventures for both new and longtime members of the Yamaha family.”

The 2024 Wolverine models represent Yamaha’s most versatile vehicles, suitable for work and adventure alike. The all-new Wolverine X2 1000 combines the compact and nimble Wolverine X2 platform with premium enhancements derived from the premium RMAX 1000, delivering superior handling and exhilarating power for navigating tight, technical trails to wide open terrain. This includes an advanced 999-cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel-twin engine, readily capable of receiving Yamaha’s D-Mode, allowing for three power-delivery options (Crawl, Trail, and Sport) to meet the varying demands of terrain and driver mindsets. The 2024 Wolverine X2 and X4 models offer smooth and ultra-quiet power with an 847-cc twin-cylinder engine housed in a sporty, compact chassis.

The Wolverine lineup caters to different customer demands, with two- and four-seat configurations available.

They also feature Yamaha’s durable On-Command 4WD system, torque- and speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS) for the best balance of steering assist and trail feedback, bright LED lighting, a 2,000-pound towing capacity, 600-pound bed capacity, and prewiring for various accessories.

The YXZ1000R SS introduces Yamaha’s all-new Auto-Shift Technology, allowing automatic-transmission drivers to experience the thrill of a pure sport and direct-connection feeling. Drivers can effortlessly switch between Auto-Shift modes and manual gear-selection on-the-fly using the dash-mounted dial.

Every YXZ1000R model is equipped with Yamaha’s signature driver-controlled On-Command system, offering 2WD, 4WD limited slip, and 4WD full-differential lock for consistent steering and handling. The vehicle’s torque- and speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS) strikes the perfect balance between assist and positive feedback, delivering optimized off-road capability, ideal steering feel, and precise handling even on challenging terrains.

Bolstered by a new interior dash panel featuring integrated accessory switches, the upgraded electrical charging system of the YXZ1000R now delivers an impressive 1000W of electricity. With a main fuse capacity of 70A, this enhanced system efficiently powers a wide range of accessories without compromising horsepower, avoiding the common issue experienced with many popular SxS LED light bars and stereo systems. Additionally, the YXZ1000R now offers convenient plug-and-play integration with the addition of four electrical ports – two located in the front and two in the rear – for easier and faster installation of accessories, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience.
