YXZ1000R SS XT-R UTV

Description

The Ultimate Pure Sport Side-by-Side. No Compromises.

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R is the most proven off-road pure sport side-by-side, delivering superior comfort and capability with maximum confidence across a wide variety of terrain — from open desert and dunes to muddy and rocky trails. Built for off-road enthusiasts and competitive riders who refuse to settle, this is Yamaha’s flagship performance machine.

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

XT-R Exclusive Features

• Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis® Carnage® tyres mounted on beadlock rims for maximum grip and tyre security at high speed and on extreme terrain
• Factory-installed WARN® winch with integrated driver controls mounted on a custom front grab bar
• Enhanced underbody protection, upgraded centerline lighting for improved visibility, composite suntop, high-quality painted bodywork, and contrast-stitched seats
• Center-mount mirror and auxiliary lights included as standard

Cabin & Comfort

• Roomy cabin with high-back seats, driver-adjustable seat positioning, and a multi-position handhold for the passenger
• Assembled in the USA with full Yamaha Genuine Accessory compatibility for personalised configuration
