2024 Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 Test Review: Best Value Sport Utility SXS

2024 Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 Test Review. Bridging the gap between the Wolverine X2 850 and RMAX2 1000, on paper, the X2 1000 seems to take direct aim at Polaris’ entry level General 1000 and lower priced Can-Am Commander 1000 models. The New Wolverine X2 1000 is based on the compact, easy to see out of bodywork of the Wolverine X2 850, built on a modified and reinforced version of the 850’s chassis featuring longer-travel suspension and improved ground clearance. Based on consumer demand, Yamaha swapped out the 850’s engine and drivetrain for the one used in the RMAX 1000, the best in the business according to our test crew.
We recently joined Yamaha at Brushy Mountain Off-Road Park in Taylorsville, North Carolina for our first test of their new and exciting 2024 Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000.

The Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 is an outstanding new Sport/Utility SXS that seems underpriced in the current market. It delivers all the performance most SXS enthusiasts would ever need on tight to intermediate trails. It’s quick, thrilling, handles beautifully, and offers plenty of versatility for working or adventuring. As we alluded to, its highly adjustable suspension makes it seem like a mini RMAX Sport to us, with the same power and similar capabilities for around $7,300 less leaving a lot of money on hand to do a dream build with accessories on the X2.
If we did our 1000cc Sort Utility Shootout again in 2024 and entered the new Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 into the mix, it would certainly give all those 64” wide, more premium machines a real run for their money for a remarkably lower price.

We typically shy away from making bold statements that can come off as outrageous, but, in this case, we have no choice. No other sport utility SXS on the market delivers more performance for the price than the Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000. Now, they not only have the top performing and most refined machine in the class with the RMAX 1000, Yamaha has delivered the best value going in the Sport/Utility segment with the new 2024 Wolverine X2 1000!
