2026 Yamaha WOLVERINE RMAX4 1000 Compact XT RSelectable Electric Power Steering

The Wolverine RMAX4 1000 Compact XT-R's class-leading Electric Power Steering takes a big step forward for 2025 with an all-new selectable EPS system that allows drivers to select between three different steering modes to match driving preference via a new dash-mounted switch. HIGH mode offers more assistance, best for low-speed maneuvers and relaxed riding. STANDARD mode is a great balance of light steering and positive feedback for trail riding. And LOW mode provides less assist for greater feedback and a sportier feel that’s perfect for higher speed riding. There’s also a differential lock setting that offers maximum steering assist when the front differential lock is engaged.

The robust inner door handles keep the mud out to work smoothly, even in the harshest of conditions. The doors feature integrated snap out speaker panels for easier upgradability, and soft touchpoints for an automotive feel so occupants are kept comfortable for all-day driving. To ease entering and exiting the vehicle, the front doors feature an enlarged opening, 63% wider than previous Wolverine models. Further increasing comfort, the front shoulder bolster shapes were optimized to expand the upper body opening to maintain a great, secure-feeling on the trail for riders big and small.
