Sport Shift add Versatility, performance, and control to the YXZ1000R
Last year, Yamaha launched the all- new YXZ1000R. A true driver’s machine, it combined the first five-speed manual transmission found in an SxS, with an engine featuring a screaming, top- end focused power band. The engine came wrapped in a stout, rigid chassis, with fully adjustable Fox Podium RC2 shocks. The YXZ1000 delivered a level of control to the driver, never before available in a UTV.
Nearly one year after the world launch of the YXZ1000R, Yamaha invited us and other members of the media to join them in Union, South Carolina, on the grounds of the Big Buck GNCC race, to drive the second addition to their YXZ family, the 2017 YXZ1000R SS. SS stands for sport shift, replacing the manual clutch and center-mounted shift lever with a set of steering column- mounted paddle shifters, and a slick computer- controlled auto clutch. Were these few changes enough to make this top-end focused, West -Coast screamer into a capable East -Coast trail machine? We were about to find out.
