The YXZ1000R’s sporty two-seat chassis
features a cockpit-like cab with comfortable
and convenient ergonomics, plush contoured high-back,
cut-and-stitch seats, sliding adjustable driver’s
seat, and a soft-grip, tilt adjustable steering
wheel with 147mm of vertical travel.
The cabin allows for quick and easy access
to functional items for both the driver and
passenger. A first for the sport SxS segment,
the YXZ1000R features throttle, brake, and clutch
pedals for true sport driving performance. The
vehicle’s floorboards are positioned for
maximum legroom, while maintaining a planted
feeling in tough terrain, with dedicated closed-in
floorboards for both driver and passenger.
Three-point seat belts, integrated shoulder
bolsters and passenger hand-holds provide optimal
support and occupant comfort, while the driver’s
side features a new and durable 8 position (90mm)
adjustable seat that smoothly slides by a convenient
lever, quickly locking into the preferred location
without any tools necessary.
The YXZ1000R dash layout balances functional
features with intuitive ergonomics for both
driver and passenger. A hybrid digital-analog
multi-function meter features speedometer, tachometer
and shift light, providing critical information
with sport-inspired styling. The center console
incorporates a parking brake handle, headlight
switch, On-Command® dial, and the all-new
sequential manual shift lever. A convenient
center storage tray and passengerside latching
glove box offer quick and secure storage options,
while a center-mounted 12V outlet powers accessories
and personal items.
Industry
Leading Durability and Reliability
|
Yamaha SxS vehicles are known to be the most
durable and off-road capable, and the YXZ1000R
continues that tradition bringing an all-new
level of reliability to the sport SxS segment.
The YXZ1000R’s all-new sport-inspired
frame was built to provide the industry’s
most durable and reliable performance with nimble
handling and a comfortable, secure-feeling pure
sport SxS experience. Its optimized frame dimensions
result in the best handling sport SxS ever.
Full underframe protection covers the bottom
of the vehicle from front-to-back and side-to-side
while still incorporating easy access to service
points. Yamaha employed lightweight and extremely
durable Thermoplastic Olefin to provide the
best impact resistance, flexibility and wear
reduction, while also allowing the vehicle to
easily glide over obstacles encountered on the
trail.
