Yamaha introduced this nameplate for the 2026 model year as part of its Wolverine side-by-side lineup. It extends the compact, two-seat Wolverine X2 concept into a higher-displacement, trail-focused machine by pairing the nimble X2 platform with premium 1000-class components and features drawn from Yamaha’s larger recreational models. In Yamaha’s own launch material, the vehicle was presented as a new addition that merges the Wolverine X2’s agile footprint with RMAX2 1000 enhancements, positioning it as a more refined option for riders who want a smaller chassis without giving up the broader capability and comfort expected in the brand’s upper-end recreational side-by-sides. The nameplate represents a distinct step up from the earlier Wolverine X2 family, rather than a trim-level update, and it arrived as part of Yamaha’s continued expansion of the Wolverine series in North America. It remains in production as a current model.
