2025 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS XT-R

Capability

• INDUSTRY-FIRST 998CC THREE-CYLINDER ENGINE: Designed to bring a Pure Sport riding character like nothing else in the Side-by-Side world, the YXZ engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the character 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 offers exceptional power and durability.
• ADVANCED SIX-SPEED SEQUENTIAL TRANSMISSION: With its industry-exclusive six-speed Yamaha Auto Shift Technology, drivers can choose between three transmission modes through a convenient dash-mounted dial: AUTO a fully automatic mode for more relaxed driving; SPORT AUTO a more spirited, fully automatic mode that holds gears longer and shifts at higher RPMs; and SPORT SHIFT a traditional manual sport shift offering drivers full control of shift points through steering-column-mounted paddle shifters. Additionally, a low first gear improves low-speed performance, while the enhanced close-ratio gearing helps keep the engine in its optimal power band.
• ENHANCED CLUTCH SETUP: The YXZ1000R SS XT-R's clutch features a hub with radiating fins and added oil-lubrication ports for maximized heat dissipation, along with YCC-S programming to provide increased durability.
• YAMAHA'S EXCLUSIVE ON-COMMAND® 4WD SYSTEM: Providing 2WD, 4WD limited slip, and 4WD with full-differential lock, the driver controlled system offers predictable gear-engagement, along with consistent steering and handling, eliminating hesitation. The YXZ1000R SS XT-R's automotive style On-Command dial is intuitive and conveniently located on the center console.
• HIGH-FLOW INTAKE & EXHAUST: Any engine needs to inhale clean air and exhale as efficiently as possible. The YXZ's high-capacity intake system features dual air filters one oiled foam, one viscous paper for maximum airflow to the engine as well as durable filtration for the dirtiest riding environments. The three-into-one high-volume exhaust system centralizes weight distribution and is tuned to provide maximum power across the rev range.
• YAMAHA ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS): Yamaha's torque- and speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS) is optimized to maximize off-road capability with an ideal steering feel and precise handling. Featuring rack-and-pinion steering and providing the industry's best balance of steering assist and positive feedback, Yamaha's EPS system delivers maximum comfort and confidence for drivers in challenging terrain.
• POWERFUL ALL-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: The YXZ1000R SS XT-R offers superior braking control thanks to twin-piston calipers clamping down on large 255mm rotors in the front and 245mm rotors in the rear for excellent braking power, feel and fade-resistance under hard use.
• EXCLUSIVE XT-R TIRE PACKAGE: The YXZ1000R SS XT-R mounts large ultra-aggressive 29-inch Maxxis® Carnageâ„¢ radial tires offering exceptional traction, durability, and precision in the most extreme off-road environments.

Comfort

The cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters. Shaped floorboards supply generous legroom while still giving a planted feel.
• SUPERSPORT-STYLE DASHBOARD: Dash instruments draw inspiration from Yamaha's high-performance Supersport motorcycles. Functions include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer, programmable shift light, and readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock.
• COMPOSITE SUNTOP: A strong, lightweight Composite Suntop keeps the cabin running cool and perfectly matches the YXZs bodylines. A wide-angle rearview mirror is also tucked under the roof for enhanced rearward visibility.
• OPTIMIZED COOLING SYSTEM: Drive hard and keep your cool. To ensure peak performance every ride, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R features a 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. Even with windshields equipped and a full cargo bed, the YXZ's intuitive design still allows for optimum airflow through strategically placed inlets and massive cooling fans.
