Thanks for stopping by to check out the all new Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000! We're looking forward to the arrival of more of these models as well as the RMAX4 in the near future.
I was waiting to see what the new machine was going to be. I'm excited and glad I waited. I will be getting a rmax4 in the spring. Good review, you did cover stuff I haven't seen in the past 2 days. And I actually live really close to you. May have to do some riding next summer. Always look forward to your vids!
Great video and review, looks like they are going in the right direction with upgrades! Keep the great videos up!
Thanks for the walk-around. I’ll be behind the wheel of one of these at Windrock this Friday. Taking a test drive at a Yamaha demo tour. Can’t wait!
Been wanting to see the suspension up close. So thanks for getting in there and showing it
Great vid Jason. Thanks for doing this.
Well done on the review and details. I've never owned a SxS, and looking at this as my first.
Always cool to see my hometown on TH-cam 👌 I'll be buying the rmax 4 from them
Thank you for your review, Jason!
Excellent review. I think you covered a lot of details that other videos missed. Thanks. I may get a Rmax but not this year.
I'm glad I waited for this machine. I was going to get an X4 but wanted to see what this machine was going to be. I wanted the short wheel base, more power, and better handling. Which is what the RMAX4 is. Thanks for the walk around video! 👍
Great Job on Review! I am looking at the 1000 base Model, same as this, so this was perfect for me... Looks like a awesome machine!
Great review, but the prices are getting out of freaking control.
I love my paid for pioneer500 even more!
You’re not kidding about the prices!
Nice work. Thanks for the review.
Very Nice and deep Review.. Greetings from Costa Rica RZR XP owner!!!
Can’t wait ! Sold my general xp for a limited 4
Been following your videos on the Pioneer 1000 as I have been thinking of purchasing one, but now that I’ve been seeing the videos on the RMax, I’m liking it more. I just love the styling and automotive interior. Which do you like better? I will use the box in the back for working around the property and also plan on putting a plow on it for the snow. Love the fact that you can also go trail riding.
Thanks for the great review.
Have had a Grizzly 700 for years with no complaints and over 15,000 miles on it. Very reliable and extremely well built. Been waiting for a bigger machine from Yamaha and am sure this is the one. The XTR model will be my newest toy!
I’ve owned a 660 grizz and a 700 grizz. Great wheelers! I’m kicking around the idea of getting another one actually. Love side by sides but there’s just something about throwing you leg over a completely open machine and hitting the trail that I’ve been missing recently. Right now though all the dealers Yamaha stock is limited and I can only find 700 Kodiaks. Maybe that means a 850 grizzly is coming!😁🤞
I agree with you a 100% on flip flopping the headlights with the accent/running lights
Having a 19 x2 , just wanting more ground clearance and slightly bigger tires I can easily add a 2" lift kit and a set of 27 or 28" tires and not have to pay that ridiculous over pricing for the extra 30+ HP. And whistles and bells. I do need some better shocks on my base model x2 but It still wont cost $ 9,000 . I'll be keeping my X2 . But nice job Yamaha. If I could afford I'd probably be crazy enough to buy it. Great video !!
I wont be getting rid of my S4 1000 any time soon but when im ready Yamaha will be on the list. Awesome review, tons of good info!
I will be putting my 2020 X4 up for sale shortly so that I can get an RMAX 4. Only problem is that as a Canadian, we don't get the Limited Edition, which is the model I want. Might just have to pay a visit south of the border to pick one up.
Awesome job
You done a great job on this review man thanks. 👍
I believe the rear ground d clearance is higher than the front. That’s probably why it doesn’t also have arched arms in the back and do in the front. 14” up front 16” in the rear.
This looks like a winner for Yamaha. I think the price is a bit high still, but maybe after a few months it'll drop. I think they would out sell most of them, but they need to get the price down a bit. Yamaha makes a get unit, this thing is built to last for sure. I've been cross shopping the Talon, but I think this RMAX makes more sense.
One more comment: I watched SxSblog the other day get invited to Polaris to review the new Ranger/General/RZR. because it wasn't the top of the line models they were bored and kind of "dissed" Polaris by throwing burgers out of the bed on the course(ck the video) People like you "AppalachianMountainRiders" Do such a fine detailed job of reviewing new mechines I find it a shame that Polaris doesn't invite you to the factory!
I watch that vid and thought it was hilarious! Such a waste of burgers though😂😂😂
The invites will come in time. Just got to keep working hard at making quality content and growing my channel!
@@AppalachianMountainRiders It was funnier then shit! Those guys are always funny but I wonder if Polaris thinks it's funny?
The price of these sxs's is crazy and creating a rich mans sport. Last time I checked there were more people with less money than rich folk.
Good review they are still playing catch up with Polaris. They are just to cheap to put park in the transmission and do away with the damn parking brake which is crap. I have a 2019 Rspec Se. Did they put inner front fender liners on it or is the mud still going up under the dash board?
Polaris definitely isn’t cheap junk, but it does leave a lot to be desired. When they have design flaws that are widely known they just leave it unless it’s a safety issue. Polaris performance is hard to beat though, and many people are willing to put up with the problems to get the performance. As far as the “park” goes, it sucks. Would happily trade for a parking brake in my RZR. I guess the grass is always greener lol.
Great review. I also have a wolverine x4 and need tires but I can't decide if I should get 14" rims and bigger tires or keep the stock rims and get new tires. Do have have any though on what you will be getting on yours?. I live in ohio and do a lot of similar riding you do. Thanks
I got 14” rims and will be getting 28x10 tires for it. Extra ground clearance is always a plus and 14” rims give you more tire options!
Looks great but not sure I’m getting my hand in there to change the filter.
Yeah, it’s a little tight for a big hand but a oil filter wrench should fit pretty easy provided there’s enough room to spin the handle. Sure is a better set up than my X4 regardless!
looks awesome!!! I wonder if the bed is the same as the x2 and accessories able to swap over without having to buy new boxes, spare carrier ect
It looked a bit wider than the current which makes sense as the machine itself is wider. It’ll probably be just different enough you have to buy all new accessories or modify what you have to work.
@@AppalachianMountainRiders oh man....that would have been nice to just swap and save $900
Is the gas pedal better than the current wolverine X2 850?
Love the new rmax but not the price!
What is the price of the R max X to base model?
@@twig7105 the base 2 seater is around 20k
Base 4 seater is 21,300
@@gwood701 26,800 for the SE/STR, base is 24,300.
Crazy expensive, so I'll ponder over the winter for a next spring purchase. My 2016 Ram Sport is paid for.
Gary Woodgate I only paid 21k for my 2010 Cummins...lol. It won’t fit in my trails though being a crew cab with an 8’bed😂
Give it a year and there will be all kind of discounts and deals to score one cheaper!
What is the price of the R max X to base model?
Great video. Did you find that the engine is louder than the X2/x4?
Exhaust is noticeably louder but not the engine itself.
How is vehicle noise compared to the Pioner 1000-5 ?
Sold Pioneer because it was so loud and annoying.
Boy, it’s been so long since I was in or around a P1k5 I can’t remember how loud they were to give you a fair answer.
Would really like to know what you’d say after driving a Talon and the RMax.
windsock777 me too! I’m way overdue getting behind the wheel of a Talon, that’s for sure...lol.
If you plan on riding at slow speeds under 25-30 mph the talon can be very jerky. It’s clutched very aggressively. It’s a quality machine put its meant to be rode at a faster pace. Just my view as a previous talon owner.
Honda had the Talon in development for way too long which resulted in releasing a current model effectively a generation or two behind. The suspension geometry is simply broken. The only "fix" for the front/rear balance issue is to hang a spare tire way off the back of the machine. I'm sure their next generation will be significantly better but in the meantime, current models are best to be avoided.
Quiet or noisy compared to the
Pioneer 1000 5 ?
fast is fast but think about it you wont be doing that on the trails so I would rather see some trail comparisons. both machines are capable and I think it would be nice to see them in a trail application. nice video
Mpg? Any info available? Thanks
Jason, have you looked at the Kawasaki KRX? I’d think about the KRX instead of the talon. Seems like the KRX might be a better value than the wolverines.
WAY TO BIG for where I ride. The KRX isn’t even an option for me...lol. I’m worried the Rmax is too big for most of my riding spots
Any updates for the X2, X4, 850 CC for 2021
Jeff Bull the X2/X4 have no changes motor or suspension wise but they do get the redesigned doors and cages! The bigger doors alone will be an awesome upgrade to the current Wolverines!
I just got a 2020 x2 rspec. Maybe I should have waited
Depends. The 850 X2 is still going to be a better trail buggy I think with it’s smaller dimensions.
And to mention this rmax is not worth 19k!
Does it come with Power steering in the base model?
Yes. All models have power steering
Any idea how big of tires it will fit stock?
I’ve seen a few now with 32’s stock with no problems but that’s as big as have been put on at this point.
I had no idea that the current generation of Wolverines X2/X4 had so many issues. The way you talk the sound like an engineering disaster. Glad I bought a Talon.
Dave Henneman not at all. The current Wolverines are great machines and I don’t see myself getting ride of my X4 anytime soon. The complaints are all just little nit picking things, case in point the location of the door latch, but dependability wise the X’s are a sound machine with plenty of power for trail riding.
James from JBS was a second quicker 0-30 time unmodified
I saw that! Around 2.7 if I remember correctly.
I’m sure his was properly warmed up, not going uphill, and it wasn’t a sales man going easy on it that did the driving😂😂😂.
So much for the no more than 3/4 throttle acceleration for the first 500 miles. Lucky customer that gets that one. Nice the dealer is beating on it.
These are show models only and not actually for sale.
Competition for the Polaris General
Does it have a break in mode till a certain amount of hours? It seems like it’s a bit of a dog off the line
I think some of that was the sales man driving not wanting to break anything...lol. But these do have a limiter that will kick in till the engine is up to operating temps.
AppalachianMountainRiders thanks for the reply I seen this yesterday seems like it’s real fast th-cam.com/video/Isk70vuyYMs/w-d-xo.html
No talk of power steering. Does it have it?
Yep, that’s pretty much standard equipment on SxS’s now
I’d take the Pioneer 520, thanks
Damn, did anyone see the drag races with the RMAX 2? They dragged an X2 and smoked it and not to be outdone then dragged a Teryx 1000 and beat it handily as well. Wasn't expecting that!
th-cam.com/video/Isk70vuyYMs/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/1FG1EoBJruE/w-d-xo.html for reference.
Looks like the zport950
Price is ridiculous. But nice improvements by Yamaha well done. I'll stick to a used jeep or small truck and throw some shocks and tires on it.
What was the 0-60?
Didn’t have room for 0-60 and I alway do 0-30 cause I cover more than just pure sport machines on my channel and a lot of them don’t go 60...lol.
@@AppalachianMountainRiders, Thanks for the time and effort you put into all of your videos. We appreciated it! We all get that most of the vehicles you've featured can't hit 60 so obviously doing 0-60 testing doesn't make sense for them. With the RMAX reportedly able to push the speedo past 70, you might want to consider a 0-60 additional set of tests for the vehicles that can do it - maybe even a max speed test as well. That would certainly be handy long term when you start testing sheave performance out.
I’m in the process of working out getting a demo 4 seat Rmax with Yamaha now so fingers crossed I can! If I do get to have one for a good bit of time on the farm I’ll definitely get a 0-60!
I ordered an RMAX 4 SE today which is the Canadian version of the XT-R. I'd be happy to report back with details on how Canadian model differs once it arrives, supposedly later next month. Look forward to seeing more videos from you in the mean time!
Awesome! Congrats! Can’t wait to hear your feedback!
Biggest down fall to me is the bigger size. And of course the price.
Wicked machine but doesn't look like it's too quick for a 1000 and looks like quite bit of lag off the start
plus going uphill even that little bit makes a difference.
It literally beats all the competition in drag races. It beats the lighter Polaris General and beats the KRX, which is considered pure sport. Nothing in the recreational class can touch it.
Awesome overview but I’d like to see burn outs and jumps
Kristof Strehl ifni can get my hands on one it will happen!
I missed the price????? Is it out of this world expensive????
Paul Presto it is up there. MSRP for the 2 seat base like I showed is $19,799 and they go up from there.
AppalachianMountainRiders wow- that’s expensive- thanks for the video it was great seeing the 1000
Let's count how many times he says beefy
10! I’ve already counted😂😂😂😂😂
is it beefy?
😂😂😂😂
Haha! It was the word of the day. Next time I'll send a thesaurus with him so he can find another word to use. We counted 10 forms of "beefy" in this video.
Hmmm, BEEFY, beefier...word of the day))))))))BEEFY((((((((
🍔🐮 moo
For the price I’d go buy a general
Why? It beats the General in just about every category and won't smoke belts doing it.
Earlier this year, I went on a ride over several days with a couple who just had bought a new 2020 General 4 seater. It was their first ride with this new machine, and on the second day they broke-down and had to leave us. What a disappointment for everyone. All to common when out on the trails to see a broken down po po.
Metal skidplates SUCK. They grab and stick on everything. Plastic slides.
Agree 100% but the THIN plastic skid plates that are on most machines from the factory don’t protect or slide...lol. That’s the nice thing about the metal plates Yamaha gives you is they will at least protect.
Not impressed with the 0 to 30
I wasn’t either but keep in mind it wasn’t fully warmed up and isnt broke in. Plus the base is in trail mode by default so I’m guessing with sport mode that time will improve also.
Also...my Wolverine X4 with a sheave has a 0-30 time of 3.2 seconds😁
Belt drive...Noooo thanks. Never again. Antiquated design that generates no interest at all. Others ingenuity and forward progressing design is much welcomed and proven.
Yamaha has a 10 yr basically no questions asked belt warranty. And as long as you use yamalube products. Has a 10 yr, 5000 hour, or 100k mile engine warranty. Can't really beat that...
If you’re having issues with a belt-drive CVT, it’s you, not the machine. My RZR has ~1500 miles, original belt, and it is ridden HARD.
BEEFY.
The extra power is turned over by how heavy it is only good is shocks but not worth 12k more than what I got mine for new
My kodiak 700 moves faster then that🤦♂️
CVT 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never relevant when I ride.
