Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Vs Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000 - Shoot Out - UTV Action Magazine

#yamahaWolverineRmax2 #KawasakiTeryxKRX #sidebyside
As far as recreational UTVs go, it's hard to beat Yamaha's Wolverine RMAX or Kawasaki's Teryx KRX1000. Both are very capable in any terrain, but we found a few features we liked better in each of them. In the middle of a long days trail ride, we stop and talk about those positives and a few negatives.

Be assured, the KRX is LOUD going 40mph+ but not bad on the trails. I have the same eS model and beyond the noise, I love it. Tried to fight the urge but lost and put 35's on it and Dalton clutch kit. This machine is a beast. I know Yamaha makes an outstanding product but these two machines are very different, unless slowly putting around as shown in the video here.

Congratulations on Kyle Anderson winning the Pro Stock NA class for 2023 King of Hammers and finishing 34th overall. That's right, the Yamaha 'golf cart' beat out many highly- modified sport SxS, including 2 KRXs and a Honda Talon in his class. No Generals or Commanders anywhere in sight of KOH.

I see nothing wrong with this “comparison” as %99 of people who buy the Rmax will buy it mainly for trail riding with their buddies who also own sport SXS so I get it.

They're not in the same league. The KRX is a pure sport machine with excellent rock crawling capability. The Yamaha is a very nice machine but is a sport/utility hybrid, which creates compromises. The lack of trailing arms in the Yamaha will hamper its ability to provide a plush ride.

Have a rmax4 xtr 1000 great machine. Not as much power as the turbos but couldn't beat the warranty.

[frankgroman]

Does the rmax cab get hot when your riding for awhile. I have a Honda Pioneer 1000 . It gets really hot where your legs are.

[MassiveOverkill]

What's significant is that you're even comparing a pure sport SxS, the Teryx to the recreational\sport SxS, the RMAX. Even comparing the two says a lot in the RMAX's capability as a viable alternative.

You don't see KRX vs General comparisons by anyone
You don't see KRX vs Commander comparisons by anyone
You don't see KRX vs Pioneer comparisons by anyone.

The rmax is a peppy work/hunt mobile, but, I find nothing sporting about it. I've had it since 2021, and while I'd never trade it for a general (Have that turd, too) it certainly doesn't meet the criteria of anything with "Sport" assigned to it's title. Quicker than other multi-purpose machines, but, try to push it like a sport machine and you will find it's harsh limitations real quick. Only biased fanboys will try to convince you otherwise. Tops it genre, but none of those machines in that category really earn the hype.

I would buy a KRX, but it's not trail legal in a handful of states (64 inch width limit). Its odd because Can-Am and Polaris make 64 inch editions of all models (other than the Pro R).

Saying they are not loud is absolute rubbish for a review. We know you just want to be invited to the testing facility and all the manufacturer events so ya give a un-honest review.... I have a KRX and RMAX.. 2 Krx's actually... The RMAX engine noise is why I went and bought KRX's after that.. That RMAX motor screaming in my ears gave me a immediate headache. The KRX is loud but its not as bad. I have 2 7.7 JL audio tower speakers on a JL amp so all i hear is music of my choice

I don’t see a point to this video. The ride was pointless and wasted time. You could point out physical differences in the parking lot lol. Any sxs would have cleared this trail and most if not all in 2wd. Take them somewhere worth watching and challenge them if you’re gonna drive them and talk about them.

[theninja]

This is pretty much my backyard, the Paiutes outside Mojave!

[jameyarthurhultz]

I’ve had many sxs’s over the years. My KRX is by far the loudest most obnoxious machine I’ve ever heard. Motor, cvt and exhaust.

[northernhappiness]

If you guys continue to review these as having loud exhaust, the darn restrictions are only going to go bigger. If its TOO LOUD than you're NOT an offload anything person!
Just Get in it, and ride, ,,

Yamaha is my go to brand. But come on looks like a smart car off road addition. 😂

[saylorlucysmagicaladventur]

Kawasaki is so loud what are you talking about?

[gregjones]

This is an apples to oranges comparison. A sport machine versus a sport utility. Not of much use to the prospective buyer.

[joeabbott]

Good video, but do you have to have that annoying music so damn LOUD ?

[ndrevolution]

I have a rmax 1000 4 seater and it is a great machine but 1 1/2 hrs to do a clutch service. Looking at the KRX now

[jackhammer]

WTF is with the loud obnoxious music stay with the sounds of the SxS's...Also these machines are NOT CARS they are Side By Sides!!!...why in hell do some people refer to these SxS's as cars it not only sounds stupid it is stupid to refer to something that it's NOT.
