I'll let the Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 do the narration on this one  

Hey slid off a little so we winched him back onto the trail.

Your feedback means a great deal to me. I can't afford to lose a $400 GoPro and I'm not a professional journalist so I have to make do with the cheaper camera/audio options so you finding value in my footage makes my efforts worthwhile. I was in high gear the entire time except when I had to pull a 2.1 point turn and accidentally stuck it in low for about 50 yards before I realized it and switched back to high. I only used diff lock twice and the end of the video was one of those times. You'll find that times you've had to switch to low gear in your 850, you simply stay in high on the X2 1000. Now the only drawback to going with heavier clutch weights to lower noise levels is that you may find more times in the X2 1000 that you'll have to use low gear.........but low gear will be more useable and you'll find it more bearable to stay in low if you've got 50 yards to go between really steep climbs.

The X2 1000 is an RMAX2 in X2 850's clothing. These trails are one way do you don't have to worry about oncoming traffic, which means you can go balls to the wall without fear and doing that and having the X2 1000 respond instantly to last second decisions with its nimbleness is awesome! Maximum fun!

I actually have a follow-up video coming but the X2 1000 simply blows away the 850 X2 in EVERY aspect except noise and the MINIMAL cost to go from an X2 850 to an X2 1000 is trivial when you consider how much more capable and comfortable the X2 1000 is. There are already aftermarket solutions via heavier clutch weights from UTVEngineering that I believe will make the X2 1000 nearly as quiet as the X2 850 for those who demand minimal noise and don't need to drag race their Wolverine.

It does! 2 right in front of the armrest.

These were outfitted with the D-mode switch in the center dash. It works just like it does on the RMAX. The trails didn't really let you use Sport mode, but I did switch to crawl on some downhill descents. The clutching is on-point on these.

'tis but a scratch! :D

It's VERY nice. This trip was done on stock settings. The ride was very nice. The suspension soaked up everything and the OG Bighorns helped with that as well.

@@MassiveOverkill That’s great. Bighorns always hook up well too. If i had not just bought an Rmax 2 i would have really considered this machine if would have been available. Width and weight would make a difference here on the east coast.

If\when they make the X4 1000, I probably would have done the same. The Black Hills aren't quite as tight as the East Coast so the RMAX fits even on the width restricted trails, but it would satisfy the Forest Circus requirements.

@@MassiveOverkill Yes we have some size and weight regulations that the Rmax is a little too big and heavy for. Very close tho.

Suspension and tires are great! Very capable and comfortable.
