The All-New 2026 Wolverine X2 850 XT-R: Built for Fall, Ready for Winter

Now in stock and ready for test drives, the 2026 Wolverine X2 850 XT-R is everything we love about Yamaha—rugged performance, intelligent design, and trail-tested reliability—wrapped into a powerful, adaptable Side x Side made for Canadian backcountry.

Here’s what sets this machine apart:

847cc Twin-Cylinder Engine

Experience a ride that’s smooth, responsive, and packed with power. Whether you’re climbing steep switchbacks or flying across an open logging road, this liquid-cooled engine delivers predictable torque and low-end grunt when you need it most.

On-Command Four-Wheel Drive System

This is true all-conditions capability. Choose between:

  • 2WD for efficient cruising
  • Limited-slip 4WD for loose terrain
  • Full diff-lock 4WD when maximum traction is required

Switching modes is seamless—and crucial when you’re deep in the backcountry or navigating icy fall trails.

Advanced Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Forget wrestling your steering wheel through tight turns and rugged terrain. Yamaha’s next-gen EPS offers light, responsive steering that gives you precise feedback and reduces fatigue on long hauls.

Whether you’re covering distance or carving switchbacks above Kootenay Lake, the Wolverine X2 makes it feel effortless.

  • Comfort, Design & Durability
  • Comfortable bucket seats with extra legroom
  • High-performance suspension with generous ground clearance
  • Durable cargo bed for hauling firewood, gear, or game
  • Aggressive tires and aluminum wheels ready for slick or muddy conditions
  • Factory-installed WARN® VRX 4500 winch for recovery and work duty

Fall Is the Perfect Time to Explore

Fall in the Kootenays offers some of the best riding conditions of the year—cooler temperatures, stunning foliage, and fewer people on the trails. From off-grid campsites to scenic alpine loops, this is the season to push your Side x Side to its full potential.
