2021 Yamaha Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850

The tight trail-conquering Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850 proves its off-road performance prowess with superior capability, comfort and confidence.

Features may include:

• Real World Tech

Yamaha’s technological advantages are found in every Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850®: plush adjustable suspension, driver-centric On-Command® 4WD, ultra-reliable Ultramatic® CVT and industry-leading Electric Power Steering.

• Potent 847cc Twin-Cylinder Powerplant

Featuring drive-by-wire throttle, a 270-degree crankshaft design and lightweight internals, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850 shares technology with Yamaha’s class-defining sportbikes for thrilling performance on every ride with unmatched refinement.

• Smooth and Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850 is powered by an 847cc DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin-cylinder motor that features the full range of Yamaha’s advanced performance technologies. Forged pistons and connecting rods ensure durable high-rpm performance with Yamaha’s 270° Crossplane Concept Crankshaft for linear torque development and excellent power throughout the rpm range. To improve efficiency, the engine features a dry-sump design for a more compact layout and an offset cylinder block to reduce friction losses while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer ensure smooth running from idle to redline.

• Responsive and 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 belt wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking. The robust clutch features an oversized belt for durability while maintaining low cruising rpm for smooth, quiet running.

• Smooth, Quiet Powertrain

Thanks to helical-cut drivetrain gearing, the rubber-mounted and counterbalanced engine and a variety of noise- and vibration-reducing inserts around the cabin, the Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850 is one of the smoothest and quietest recreational side-by-sides ever built. Converse with your passenger or simply enjoy the improved refinement after a long day riding on the trail.

• Enhanced Ergonomics

High-backed seats with improved adjustability combined with updated pedal positions create a more comfortable cockpit for drivers of various sizes, while newly-designed compact shoulder bolsters and easily adjustable seatbelts create a more comfortable perch for both driver and passenger in the Wolverine X2 R-Spec 850. Multiple cup holders, high-traction floorboards, quick-adjust driver seat and steering column round out the amenities.
