The new Wolverine X2 Utility is specifically designed for the tough environment of New Zealand farms. Featuring Yamaha’s legendary Real World Tough durability and reliability, the new X2 prioritises work over recreation by featuring a larger cargo bed than standard – the same hydraulic-assist tilting device fitted to the hard working Viking three seater utility SSV.
Smooth, ultra-quiet power comes from an 847cc twin-cylinder engine, along with Yamaha’s Real World Tech including the proven Ultramatic CVT transmission, Yamaha’s On-Command System with 2WD, 4WD and 4WD with full differential lock, and Yamaha’s exclusive EPS. Kitted out to tackle tough tasks, the X2 comes with high-back seats, refined cabin features and aluminium wheels. It also shares the comfort, capability and confidence of the XT-R model – but is developed for the man on the land who values practical features to help get the job done.
Features
High performance suspension
The Wolverine X2 features well-damped suspension at all four corners for improved chassis control and handling feel. Built for Yamaha by KYB®, these shocks give the X2 a flexible, balanced ride character, whether the day calls for cargo carrying or trail blasting.
Powerful twin cylinder engine
The 847cc parallel twin cylinder engine 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 offset cylinder block to reduce friction loss, while rubber engine mounts and a geared counter balancer ensures smooth running from idle to redline.
Maximum versatility
The Wolverine X2 features a Viking-spec large tilting cargo bed - only fitted to the New Zealand Wolverine X2 Utility - is wider, longer and deeper than standard and designed to take a pallet. Add in a full 907kg of towing capacity thanks to the standard 2-in receiver, and the Wolverine X2 is ready to get to work when you are.
Quiet and comfortable
The Wolverine X2 is one of the smoothest and quietest side-by-sides ever made. Noise, vibration and harshness is minimalised thanks to the refinement of the twin-cylinder powerplant as well as an array of specially-formed body panels and insulating dampers throughout the chassis
On-Command 4WD
Yamaha’s renowned On-Command 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a 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 any sort of terrain.
Speed Management System
The Wolverine X2 also comes standard with a Speed Management System which allows the owner to limit the vehicle to a top speed of 40km/h, ideal for work sites or other special operating conditions.
