How fast is the Yamaha RMAX4 1000 and how many horsepower does it have?
Yamaha has arguably become one of the most respected names in the modern motorcycle business, and that’s saying something for a company that was founded as a maker of precision-engineered pianos and organs. While the company still produces famous instruments and a range of related gadgets, its offshoot Yamaha Motor Co. has earned just as much prestige by producing motorcycles, dirt bikes, personal watercraft and sport ATVs. The brand also produces an impressive range of side-by-side utility vehicles (SxS for short) that are capable of tackling even the most demanding terrain.

While some of these SxS vehicles are designed to be workhorses on the farm, Yamaha’s Wolverine UTVs are better suited for play. With more than a dozen trim packages available, it’s safe to say there’s a model to suit every off-road need. At the top end of the Wolverine lineup is the RMAX4 1000, which retails for $24,199 to $29,199 depending on trim.
Yes, you could buy a new car for that kind of money. While many average people can’t spend that much on a recreational vehicle, diehard off-roaders may be more than willing to do so, especially since the RMAX4 1000 offers such impressive speed and performance, reaching a top speed of around 70 mph and boosting power to 108 horsepower. That power is the result of the vehicle’s 999cc displacement engine, which should allow any off-road enthusiast to make the most of their next adventure.

The Wolverine RMAX4 is also packed with special features
Speed and power are undoubtedly an important aspect of what off-roaders want from their side-by-side vehicle, but adventure seekers will likely be just as impressed with the range of features on the high-end Wolverine RMAX4 1000, which allows you to tackle any remote trail or hill in style, comfort and safety.

As for that last factor, the RMAX4 1000 is fitted with 14-inch aluminum beadlock wheels and heavily treaded 30-inch Maxxis Carnivore tires, a combination that should make you less likely to get stuck or dangerously spin your wheels when you encounter difficult terrain. Since the Japan-based manufacturer claims the vehicle has “class-leading suspension,” it should be easier to control your Wolverine when the road ahead inevitably gets bumpy. Perhaps equally important, the vehicle is equipped with a heavy-duty WARN VRX-45 winch, which should be a huge help when you want to extricate yourself or another vehicle whenever the need arises.
The vehicle’s On-Command 4WD system also makes it easy to switch between 2WD and 4WD when the terrain calls for it. Yamaha’s Bluetooth-compatible Adventure Pro system not only provides GPS and navigation support, but also allows you to listen to your favorite music through the RMAX4 1000’s MTX audio system while you conquer the trail ahead. Yes, the four-seat UTV also offers a spacious interior with extra legroom, comfortable seats and quality grab handles to maximize your comfort on the trail, and there are even optional cup holders to keep your drink safe while you ride.
