Turf mode was a much needed change. Our x2 850 has been reliable but I had to buy a new set of tires so our grass survived. It also chirps like crazy on pavement making turns. The 850 has been a good engine has more than enough power for a two seater doing casual trails while also being fuel efficient. If they added turf mode, the new display, and if they could work on the sound deadening and focus on making it quieter I would upgrade to a new x2850 model. If they could lower the engine to cab heat transfer that would be a bonus. I don't have time or patience to add a bunch of heatshield myself.

Ive owned the 2022 xtr Rmax 4 and loved the short wheel base. you could turn around on tight trails. Im liking what I see on this stretched model. Rmax's are very dependable and very tough machines. They ride like a dream compared to a KRX4.

I think truck manufacturers saw what they were charging and getting for side by sides and were like why cant we charge ridiculous prices for basic vehicles, and adjusted their msrps.

For people saying that you could buy a pretty nice Jeep or 4RUNNER for this money, you are correct. However, i have a very well-built TJ and a Can Am X3 Maverick XRC. The XRC will go up roads my Jeep can't handle, especially at high speeds...

The past subwoofer sucked I went through 3 of them and they all got water logged just from average trail put a 8" wet sounds and it hasn't missed a beat.

It has more rear seat room than most midsize trucks.

Just drove one this weekend, really wanted to like it, Yamahas are bulletproof and it looked great in person. Ended up buying a can am, this thing was really loud and the motor was not near as smooth.

Now i want to sell my 2022 Rmax4! We wanted more rear room, slightly longer wheelbase and more rear cargo room, this thing hit all the check boxes for me.

Come on Yamaha (and Honda)...bring out a cab/heat/air version that will run 65mph down the highway. I run my gator 1.5 to 2 hours a day checking I NEED a SxS with RELIABILITY. My HVAC gator 835M is in the ‘hospital’ way too much...

Very nice review. I have a the 2023 RMAX4. Its my first SxS ever. My biggest complaints are engine noise and weak navigation system (hardware is old tech and SW is very limited). I wish Yamaha would address these two things. Make it quieter and provide a nav system that allows you to actually plot routes. It doesn't have to be as robust as OnX off road but at least get closer. I use a cell phone with onx for trail mapping and Adventure Pro only for the trail recording so I can find my way back.

I have a truly awesome Ford F-150 Platinum with both heated and cooled seats and it is just unbelievably comfortable.
Is there any chance that Yamaha could do that with AC and heating in this SXS that is 14 years late to the four seat game ?

[storytimedavidcollins]

It would have been nice if you could have shown up how the front windshield worked, folding out;
how many possible positions?
How’s it work?
Does it lock open?
Is it just an accessory or does it come stock on the upgraded version?
What’s it made out of?

[CraigSmith]

I always figured I would want a sxs if I ever rode in one, then I rode in one. Not only do I not want one, I don't even want to ride in one again.

[nicholasrigali]

Where/when can I get those rock sliders for my 2025 RMax4 LE?

[GrimrprO]

Way off topic, but what are the boots you’re wearing?

[kifferpete]

What is that rack in the bed and where do you get it ?

[oct]

Good changes, any info coming for non-rmax models?

[donaldgowans]

Awesome 😎 and it’s about Time !!!! 😬😎🙏🇺🇸🏁

You can buy a LOT of Jeep or 4Runner for the price.

[joeraymirabal]

Just my opinion cuz I own one till today. Lot of problems . I had a zforce 800 for 2 years never had any problems. But it is wat it is . U do u . Just what I got delt with.
