Well if you have never driven an off-road recreational vehicle like Yamaha’s YXZ1000R, then you have never done an adventure. The Yamaha YXX1000R is a sober racing quad bike, a ridge buggy and a rally car. The ride has a super long travel suspension, enormous off-road tires and four-wheel-drive, powered by a howling 1,000cc motor. Besides that, this adventure vehicle has company’s top-of-the-line two-seater off-road race buggy. It got the auto paddle shit and launch control. These features make the vehicle easier to move sideways, airborne and over just about anything.
When you first look at 2019 YXZ1000R, it reflects its mark stance with a low, angled front clip, shock reservoirs poking out of the hood, sharp edges, and pointed rear fenders. The front bodywork is a little amended though the rear wingtips remain. But the good news is that, it has best radiator and taller tires.
Yamaha YXZ 1000R
YXZ1000R is a mad, dirt buggy, an all-terrain, two-seat, side-by-side, off-road rally monster with rollover protection and very serious seat belts. It’s a thug machine born and bred; a drift king, a rock hopper, a tabletop jumper and an out-of-the-box desert racer rolled into one.
The rest is all about speed and adrenaline, starting with a 1,000cc, inline three-cylinder engine that makes an honest 90 horsepower feel like more than enough. It’s mated to a sequential paddle-shift auto-clutch transmission with five forward speeds and reverse. Power is laid down through a shaft drive selectable 2WD/4WD system.
Yamaha YXZ 1000R has big 27-inch wheels with chunky bead-locked off-road tires hang in a threatening fashion off enormous, fully adjustable Fox 2.5 Podium X2 shocks. For a motorcycle guy, those shocks are, well, quite shocking. The front two have a massive 16.2 inches (41 cm) of travel; the rears have 17 inches (43 cm). They use a two-spring system that allows the fine tune, the spring rates and preload settings for both the “normal” suspension range. Not only that if the driver hit a bigger bumps or rock that takes up a larger amount of travel.
