Pure sport meets extreme adventure, combining a factory-installed WARN® winch, Special Edition paint, color matched wheels, and aggressive tread Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis® Carnage® tires to the YXZ's high-revving, high-output inline-triple engine.

Features may include:

• XT-R Package

The YXZ1000R™ SS XT-R stands out with a range of stylish, high-spec components. Advanced FOX® Dual Spring suspension, beadlock rims wrapped in Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis® Carnage™ tires, and enhanced underbody protection come standard. Upgraded centerline lighting provide enhanced visibility. A custom front grab bar mounts a heavy duty WARN® winch package with integrated driver controls while the composite suntop, high-quality painted bodywork, contrast-stitched seats, center-mount mirror and aux lights complete the package.

• The Ultimate Pure Sport SxS

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R is the most focused, high-performance side-by-side in the world. Every system on board ensures the YXZ® brings this level of performance to every ride, no matter the terrain, from dunes and deserts to tight woods and muddy trails.

• Exclusive Engine and Transmission

Unique and powerful, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a high-revving, high-output inline-triple engine mated to Yamaha’s Sport Shift, a sequential five-speed manual transmission featuring Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift (YCC-S) technology. The result is a Pure Sport driving experience unmatched by anything on the market.

• Stunning, Industry-First Three-Cylinder Engine

Designed to bring a Pure Sport riding character like nothing else in the side-by-side world, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the flexibility and character that only an inline triple can provide. With a compact, counterbalanced, DOHC cylinder head, a 11.3:1 compression ratio and dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R engine offers exceptional power, a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline and high-strength internals ready to handle high-output demands.

• Smart Cooling System

To ensure peak performance every ride, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a vented, rear-mounted radiator. This system not only reduces heat in the cabin, but it remains clear of mud or debris build-up and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well.

• Ergonomics Built for Performance

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit provides a balance of driving confidence with comfort. Shaped floorboards provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel, and both the driver’s seat and steering wheel are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit.

• Composite Suntop

A strong but lightweight composite suntop keeps the cabin running cool and perfectly matches the rakish lines of the YXZ body. The roof features proper clearance for riders in their helmets, eliminating the cramped feel found in many competitors’ machines. A wide-angle rearview mirror is also tucked under the new roof for enhanced rearward visibility.

• WARN® Winch Package

To ensure you can get out of even the toughest spots when far away from civilization, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a WARN® VRX 4500 winch package mounted via a new custom front grab bar. Since the winch package was engineered alongside the XT-R, the winch’s controls are integrated into the electrical system, putting the controls right where the driver needs them.
