![]() ![]() Yamaha is so proud of the Ultramatic that it offers a 10-year belt warranty. But the real story on this CVT drive system is its automatic centrifugal clutch that works to maintain constant belt tension for reduced wear and tear. The Yamaha Ultramatic V-belt transmission features a gated shifter with dual-range (Hi/Lo) forward, reverse, and neutral positions. The Yamaha YXZ1000R SS XT-R offers a five-speed manual with paddle shifters. All but the Yamaha YXZ1000R SS XT-R share the Ultramatic CVT-style transmission. While each of these newly introduced Yamaha ATVs and UTVs are quite unique in their purpose, performance, appearance, and abilities, there are some similarities. XT-R models also get other custom touches, such as the Tactical Black/Carbon Metallic painted bodywork, special XT-R body graphics, and XT-R patterned seating upholstery. Lightweight yet sturdy aluminum wheels wrapped with aggressive Maxxis Carnivore, Maxxis ‘Zilla, or GBC Dirt Commander tires increase the XT-R vehicles’ grip and ability to churn through dirt, sand, mud, or snow. 2022 Yamaha Wolverine X2 850 XTR (photo/Yamaha) The RMAX4 1000 XT-R gets a Warn VRX 45 Powersports winch - rated at a 4,500-pound line-pull capacity - with more than enough guts to get it and you out of a sticky situation.Īside from the self-rescue confidence that comes with a winch, the other major component of the XT-R off-road package designation - depending upon the vehicle - are upgraded suspension systems featuring FOX or KYB shocks that maximize the off-road terrain-handling characteristics and ride quality of the Yamaha ATV or UTV it’s bestowed upon. The other side of that coin is the 2022 Yamaha RMAX4 1000 XT-R, which weighs in at 2,050 pounds. That’s plenty of pulling power for the 783-pound Grizzly XT-R. For instance, the 2022 Yamaha Grizzly XT-R sports a Warn VRX 25 Powersports winch with a maximum line-pull rating of 2,500 pounds. The essentials of the XT-R off-road package include Warn winches, with maximum line-pull capacities varying depending upon vehicle application. 2022 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS XT-R Warn winch (photo/Yamaha) The XT-R treatment is Yamaha’s all-out off-road accessory package that delivers specialized equipment and components to enhance the terrain-conquering capabilities of the ATV or UTV graced with the XT-R package. 2022 Yamaha XT-R Off-Road UpgradesĪll of these most recent new releases from Yamaha were outfitted with its XT-R off-road performance package. ![]() We spent some time putting these new Yamaha off-road vehicles through their paces in the rugged terrain near Prescott, Ariz.
