Engine & Powertrain
- Industry-first high-revving, high-output 998cc inline-triple engine — the only one of its kind in the sport UTV category, delivering a direct-connection driving experience unmatched by anything on the market
- Yamaha Auto-Shift Technology with three selectable transmission modes via a dash-mounted dial: AUTO (fully automatic for relaxed driving), SPORT AUTO (holds gears longer, shifts at higher RPMs), and SPORT SHIFT (full manual control via steering-column-mounted paddle shifters)
- A low first gear — 40% lower than the previous model — improves low-speed technical performance, while enhanced close-ratio gearing keeps the engine in its optimal power band
- 2WD, 4WD Limited Slip, and 4WD with full differential lock — driver-controlled for predictable gear engagement and consistent handling across all terrain types
- Upgraded clutch with radiating fins and added oil-lubrication ports for maximised heat dissipation and long-term durability
Suspension
- FOX® 2.5 Podium® RC2 shocks with dual-spring-rate adjustable crossovers on all four corners — fully adjustable spring preload, crossover adjustment, rebound, and both high- and low-speed compression damping
- 16.2 inches of front suspension travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for a smooth, tuneable ride across the most demanding off-road conditions
