Unmatched SxS Performance
The all-new YXZ1000R SE doesn’t just reset the bar for sport side-by-sides, it is proof that Yamaha is the leader in powersports performance. Featuring a new 998cc inline triple engine mated to a 5-speed sequential shift gearbox with On-Command® 4WD, massive FOX Racing Shox® suspension front and rear, and styling the competition can’t touch, the new YXZ1000R SE is in a class by itself—the only true pure sport SxS ever developed.
Stunning, Industry-first Three-Cylinder Engine
Prepare yourself for the industry’s first 998cc inline-three cylinder sport side-by-side engine. Featuring a compact DOHC twelve-valve cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and high-tech dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SE engine offers jaw-dropping power, fantastic midrange torque and a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline. With lightweight 80mm forged aluminum pistons and a counterbalancer, the motor is exceptionally smooth-running, too. Built for the pure sport SxS enthusiast, there’s nothing else like it.
Industry-first 5-Speed Sequential Shift Transmission with On-Command 4WD
The YXZ1000R SE establishes a direct connection with driver via an all-new sequential 5-speed manual transmission with reverse that permits rapid and smooth shifting, ideally matched to the potent three-cylinder engine. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by an automotive-style foot pedal for light, consistent feel and an entirely new sports SxS experience. Yamaha’s proven On-Command 4WD system with full Diff Lock is ready to tackle challenging terrain, and the entire driveline is built to provide unmatched durability.
Terrain Conquering, Fully-adjustable FOX Podium RC2 Shocks®
Jutting defiantly through the front hood and defining the rear of the vehicle, the YXZ1000R SE's huge piggyback FOX® 2.5 Podium RC2 Shocks® bring visual impact with unmatched performance. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear, with integrated Bottom-Out technology as well as front and rear sway bars. Result: The ultimate in ride quality, tuneability and handling. Whether you’re riding in dunes or dirt, the YXZ1000R SE suspension will handle the toughest terrain.
Ergonomics Built for Performance
The YXZ1000R SE cab features plush cut-and-sew high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit is built to provide a balanced combination of secure confidence with comfort. The floorboards are shaped to provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel during aggressive driving, too. The driver’s seat is adjustable across 3.5 inches, and the steering wheel is tilt adjustable 5.8 inches to ensure a perfect fit.

Compact and Clean Exhaust System
The three-into-one high-volume exhaust system with center-mounted muffler centralizes weight distribution and is tuned to provide maximum power across the rev range.
Industry-first 5-Speed Sequential Transmission
The YXZ1000R SE utilizes an all-new sequential 5-speed manual transmission with reverse that permits rapid and smooth shifting, ideally matched to the potent three-cylinder engine. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by a foot pedal for light, consistent feel - delivering power up to 20% more efficiently than most automatic CVTs. With an amazingly direct connection between throttle and the drivetrain, this new transmission gives the YXZ™1000R SE an entirely new sports SxS experience that is unmatched by any other machine.
Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command® 4WD
With the twist of a dial, On-Command 4WD gives the driver ultimate traction, with easily selected 2WD and 4WD full diff lock modes. The YXZ1000R SE's all-new drivetrain incorporates Yamaha’s proven On-Command 4WD system to tackle the most challenging terrain.
Advanced Drivetrain
Getting the power to the wheels is an advanced drive system, featuring an external engine flywheel to maximize engine torque, for smooth shifting and acceleration. To deliver Yamaha’s exceptional durability, this system also incorporates an Over-Torque protection system that eliminates spike loads to the front drive case on hard impacts, protecting it from damage without affecting performance.

Aggressive New Style
Radical, aggressive chassis and styling—highlighted by massive suspension components jutting into view—shows off Yamaha’s passion for powersports. And form follows function, as the front suspension design permits an extremely low hood line for excellent trail visibility. The YXZ1000R SE is the new benchmark for performance side-by-sides, built for enthusiasts looking for a pure sport machine with the confidence and attitude to tackle any challenge.
Terrain Conquering, Fully-adjustable FOX Podium® RC2 Shocks®

All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for the ultimate in ride quality, tuneability and handling.
Optimized Suspension Geometry
Rigid spherical-joint double A-arms suspension retains ideal castor angle and bump response throughout the entire suspension travel range, for excellent cornering ability, light steering feel and straight line stability across the roughest terrain. Unexpected bumps are absorbed smoothly, maintaining the chassis’ secure, planted feeling and preserving momentum and steering response for maximum driver confidence.
Pure Sports Chassis
Optimized frame dimensions make the YXZ1000R SE the best handling sport SxS... ever. In addition to the performance and durability that comes with Yamaha’s exacting standards, the YXZ1000R SE also includes extensive occupant protection without sacrificing driver visibility, and a full-frame composite underbody skidplate protects the chassis from rocks and debris.
Yamaha Electric Power Steering
The YXZ1000R SE features Yamaha’s class-leading speed-sensitive EPS, for reduced steering effort and precise handling in virtually all conditions. The EPS unit is lightweight and compact, mounted high on the new rack-and-pinion steering system, further protecting it from dirt and debris.
Powerful All-Wheel Disc Brakes
The YXZ1000R SE offers precise braking control thanks to twin-piston calipers clamping down on 245mm rotors at all four wheels, for excellent braking power, feel and fade-resistance under hard use. An automotive-style parking brake lever is mounted in cabin’s center console.
Exclusive 27-inch Maxxis® Tires with Bead Lock Wheels
Developed exclusively for Yamaha, the YXZ1000R SE mounts 27-inch Maxxis® Bighorn 2.0 radial tires that offer extreme performance, with increased ground clearance, optimum traction, durability, comfort and steering precision. These tires are mounted to tough 14-inch alloy wheels with standard bead lock plates for maximum tire durability, especially in challenging terrain.
Ergonomics Built for Performance

don't want one, but thats some great compitition

Wow. Wish it was a little shorter! It'll be interesting to see what comes next,

What they are really saying is....... Automatics are for Sissies

It's fair to say that Yamaha has finally hit the mark with this one. Wonder how long until they come out with a four seat version?

Got to give it to Yamaha, it took them long enough but at least they built something different from just copy catting the Polaris, looks like a bad ass machine, the bar has really been raised if it holds up under abuse.

why 27" tars????................would've been nice with 30" factory tars

Like to know the price for it

Hey Tory, don't let them pull you in.....

price is in the write up 21600.00

I really like what I see and read. If it lives up the expected Yamaha quality, I will be interested in one. I hope they come out with a 4 seater soon. I wish the orange version had the same graphics as the blue one. The graphics on it look cheap. Should not have any clearance problem with big tires on it.

$19,799-$19,999.for the base. $21.999 for the Yellow or Orange. A Blue and White one has my name on it!

I like the blue. I am with Jason waiting on a 4 seater. Dont think it would look as bad with a chop job on the cage.

I find it funny as hell some of the dipshits on RZR forums badmouthing it without ever seeing one in person, much less driving the damn thing.

I am going to pull the trigger on one with the rekluse clutch kit in it. I've owned several rzr's, but this machine is just badass and imho light years ahead of the game! Yamaha's proven durability is second to none! 3 cylinders, no more belts, comes with full thick skids, doors, top ect. I'm not trying to start a brand war guys, but be honest, Polaris leaves something to be desired in the quality department! I was tired of wrenching on rzr's all the time!

You got that right, Haters are going to hate. I think this machine is bad ass. Yamaha did not step up to the plate just to get on base.

Now, I love my XP 900 4 and I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. However, when it comes time I will definitely consider a Yamaha and it's been a very long time since I have said that.....

Very nice machine!!!!!!

I had a Rekluse clutch in my dirtbike for the tight arena cross races. It was great you could still use the clutch like normal or let it do the work. I think it will be a sweet machine with it for rock crawling.

i like it.  yamaha hit a home run with it. Will i sell the rzr and buy one?? NO!    but when it comes time to replace my rzr i will now have more choices.  the trans setup is cool. i like the 4x4 launch in one of the videos.  rev it up and dump the clutch and it hauls  no lag.

 my guess on yamaha's next sport sxs will be one with a cvt for the people that cant drive a clutch.
