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...
Then again XRC can't go on roads legally so who really wins in that argument??? With that being said give ORV's are way overpriced as is most things these days!!!
@@joatmon1857In AZ 🌵, all we need are mirrors (side OR rear view) and a horn, and they’re treated like motorcycles. You get a license plate in the mail and you’re good to go. Same applies to various other states too. 👍🏾
The past subwoofer sucked I went through 3 of them and they all got water logged just from average trail riding.....I put a 8" wet sounds and it hasn't missed a beat.
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 irrigation/crops/windmills/pastures...but I NEED a SxS with RELIABILITY. My HVAC gator 835M is in the ‘hospital’ way too much...
@@T51B1 True. I’m really hoping they’ll build a Ridge with 5 or 6 seats.

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.
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.
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?
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 ?
I agree that it’s priced too high but comparing these to trucks is dumb. You either want a truck or a toy…no one actually interested in buying a sxs is gunna say”aww these are too much I will just go buy a truck” 🤦♂️ also there is a LOT of places around me that allow sxs and atvs on trails but not jeeps and trucks
@@tylermatthews7655 you’re right about the trails not allowing road vehicles, but people absolutely do cross shop these with used 4x4s. A 2 door wrangler is essentially a toy. An 08-14 4Runner will cost around 12k, leaving plenty of budget to build it into a trail rig.
I agree! i have a brand new 2023 RMAX 1000 Four Seater my buddy bought a 2024 Can Am Maverick we went riding last week my RMAX was going places he couldn't go on his he almost high centered on a few steep narrow hills that mimicked a roller coaster ride coming down he was scraping his skid plates nasty while mine went over them with ease bigger doesn't mean better IMO
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.
They give in to the CITY BOY DEMANDS and have completely lost their fckng way....that rear diff will not hold up, it's way to big for real wheelin up in these mountains here, breakover angle is so bad it's fckn useless..... Glad yamaha is atleast still making the REAL BEST 4 SEATER IN THE WORLD the so called compact....unless you're out in moab, or out in the dunes yamaha just completely ruined their own rig

Love to see TFL collaborate with TK!
It has more rear seat room than most midsize trucks.

@joatmon1857 Can Ams can go legally on the roads in a lot of western states. I am going to use it as another car when I move to AZ...

Have ya seen the Kawasaki Ridge?
@@pajamatime5750 yes, 2 are at my nearest dealer...I may end up with one. I have to talk to my tax attorney 1st. My 835M isn't depreciated out yet.
@@pajamatime5750 Bummer there is no two row version. Only ones I know of that do are CanAm and Polaris

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.
Looks like a serious amount of fun.
This is the machine to have!
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?

Awesome 😎 and it’s about Time !!!! 😬😎🙏🇺🇸🏁
Good changes, any info coming for non-rmax models?
What is that rack in the bed and where do you get it ?
Way off topic, but what are the boots you’re wearing?
Where/when can I get those rock sliders for my 2025 RMax4 LE?
Where is the Heat and Air!?
You can buy a LOT of Jeep or 4Runner for the price.
Bingo PAL
💯👍😎👌

@@forkthepork.. and be fully enclosed with heat and ac
If you have to make the comment…then you don’t understand.
$28K and no covered, lockable truck.
The Compact will still be the King offroad esp in tight spots!

Even more so now that it has turf mode and full EPS power in diff lock. The RMAX4 Compact will be more capable than previous years.
Why do you need an usb c? Usb works just as good
Most new phones use USB C it also charges faster than USB A
Why get a car when a horse works just as good
You can use either end of the cord.
I would take this over the rmax2 just for the engine being back further. Sold my rmax2 because of the engine noise you basically sit on the engine
I understand. I have the 2023 RMAX4 and my biggest complaint is the engine noise. I have to wear ear plugs even with a helmet on.
Its August. No off road vids hardly at all. Did tumble weed course fail?
Please lord I hope the engine noise is reduced!!
