Features May Include:

Smooth & Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

Powered by an 847cc DOHC eight-valve parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crossplane crankshaft design and lightweight internals including forged pistons and connecting rods, the Wolverine X2 850 XT-R shares technology with Yamaha's class-defining sportbikes for  linear torque development and excellent power throughout the rpm range.

Reliable Ultramatic Transmission

Yamaha's Ultramatic transmission is the most advanced and durable CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. It comes backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.

Plush Suspension

The Wolverine X2 850 XT-R features well-damped suspension at all four corners for excellent chassis control and handling feel. High performance KYB® piggyback shocks built specifically for Yamaha are fully adjustable with spring preload, rebound, and high- and low-speed compression damping to allow tuning to suit a wide range of driver preferences and conditions.

On-Command 4WD

Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD. Unlike competitors' automatic 4WD systems, On-Command puts the driver in full control to make the most of available traction in various types of terrain.

Class-Leading Electric Power Steering

Yamaha's Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides the industry's best balance of steering assist and positive feedback with light steering and speed-sensitive response for minimized fatigue.
