If you ask us, there’s nothing as satisfying as cruising over loose dirt roads or crawling over challengin­g rocky terrain in our fullsized 4WD rigs. Driving an off-road capable truck or SUV always means good times. Sometimes, however, getting into a small and nimble vehicle can be a refreshing change of pace. For those times, a vehicle such as a side-by-side is there to properly ll the gap. Sliding into the driver’s seat of a lightweigh­t, go-anywhere vehicle can take us where even our favorite 4x4s aren’t able to take us.

Yamaha introduces their latest machine, the 2022 Yamaha YXZ1000R

SS XT-R. Released as a part of Yamaha’s Pure Sport line of side-bysides, the XT-R is packed full of features that allow you explore tight trails, even ones that would be ordinarily dif cult to traverse. The XT-R comes out tted with a range of stylish, high-spec components including advanced Fox dual spring suspension, beadlock rims wrapped in Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis Carnage tires, and enhanced underbody protection, which come standard.

The XT-R’s also comes standard with a custom front grab bar that mounts a heavy-duty Warn winch package with integrated driver

controls. A composite suntop, high-quality painted bodywork, contrast-stitched seats, center-mount mirror and auxiliary lights are just a few more features that make this ride stand out from the crowd.

Designed to bring Yamaha’s Pure Sport riding character to the driver, the XT-R’s engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the exibility and character that only an inline triple can provide. With a compact, counterbal­anced, DOHC cylinder head, its engine offers exceptiona­l power, a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline and high-strength internals that ensure reliabilit­y on the trail.

Ready for action day or night, the XT-R comes with four super bright LED headlights that provide brilliant forward illuminati­on to light up the terrain ahead. A bright LED taillight also comes standard for extra visibility. If that isn’t enough, the XT-R package provides even more light thanks to additional center-mounted auxiliary lights.

Yamaha’s side-by-sides are always a thrill to drive and the Pure Sport YXZ1000R SS XT-R is no different. Replete with a Warn winch, impressive ride comfort and loads of performanc­e, there’s not much more we’d ask of a two-seat sport side-by-side.
