Yamaha continues to lead the pack in 2025 with a strong lineup of side-by-sides that cater to every kind of rider—from the hardcore off-road adventurer to the hardworking rancher. Whether you’re blazing desert trails, crawling rocky hills, or hauling gear around the property, there’s a 2025 Yamaha UTV that’s built for you. Below, we break down the latest models, their best uses, who they’re perfect for, and what you can expect to pay.
1. 2025 Yamaha RMAX2 1000
- Starting MSRP: $22,999
- Best For: High-performance trail riding, adventure, and recreational use
- Ideal Buyer: Weekend warriors and outdoor enthusiasts who want a sport-utility machine that’s as aggressive as it is refined.
The 2025 Wolverine RMAX2 1000 continues to set the standard in the sport-utility segment. With a potent 999cc parallel twin engine, Yamaha’s legendary D-Mode drive system, and FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks, this UTV eats up trails and terrain with ease. New for 2025 are enhanced color options and updated digital display features. It also includes a factory-installed WARN winch and integrated Adventure Pro navigation on XT-R trims.
2. 2025 Yamaha RMAX4 1000
- Starting MSRP: $25,399
- Best For: Families or groups seeking performance and comfort on long trail rides
- Ideal Buyer: Riders who want to bring the whole crew without sacrificing power or suspension capability.
The RMAX4 1000 shares much of the DNA of its two-seat sibling but stretches it into a four-passenger platform. It’s the perfect choice for riders who want top-tier performance and comfort with added seating. Thanks to rear Fox QS3 shocks and an adaptable cargo/passenger area, this rig can flex between hauling gear and taking the family out for an unforgettable off-road day.
3. 2025 Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000
- Starting MSRP: $17,999
- Best For: Tight trails, hunting, and light utility work
- Ideal Buyer: Hunters, weekend campers, or ranchers needing a nimble yet capable side-by-side.
Back with a vengeance for 2025, the Wolverine X2 1000 gets a performance bump and refreshed ergonomics. It’s compact enough to squeeze through narrow wooded trails, yet powerful enough with its 999cc engine to handle serious terrain and modest work duties. The quiet cabin and smooth suspension make it a great all-day adventure machine.
4. 2025 Yamaha Wolverine X4 850
- Starting MSRP: $18,399
- Best For: Mixed-use riders needing a 4-seat compact UTV
- Ideal Buyer: Families or groups who ride moderate trails and need comfort in a smaller package.
Smaller than the RMAX4 but still seating four, the Wolverine X4 850 is Yamaha’s answer to riders who want group seating without going full-size. The 850cc engine is smooth and efficient, while the compact chassis handles tighter trails than larger models. It’s ideal for recreational families or utility-focused riders who still want weekend fun.
5. 2025 Yamaha Viking EPS
- Starting MSRP: $15,899
- Best For: Job site work, property management, and agricultural use
- Ideal Buyer: Farmers, ranchers, and anyone who needs reliable utility performance with a 3-seat bench.
The Viking is Yamaha’s hard-working, no-nonsense UTV. It’s not flashy—but that’s the point. The 2025 Viking EPS retains its dependable 686cc engine and rugged chassis, with comfort tweaks in the cabin and new colorways. If you need to load gear, feed animals, or tow supplies around the property, the Viking won’t let you down.
6. 2025 Yamaha Viking VI EPS
- Starting MSRP: $17,899
- Best For: Transporting people and gear around large properties or hunting leases
- Ideal Buyer: Landowners, hunt clubs, and rural crews needing a six-seat workhorse.
Got a big team or a lot of land? The Viking VI EPS lets you haul up to six people with bench-style seating and Yamaha reliability. Its 700-class engine and electronic power steering make it a solid choice for hauling people and gear across farms, ranches, or expansive trails.
7. 2025 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS
- Starting MSRP: $21,899
- Best For: Pure sport performance and dune/desert racing
- Ideal Buyer: Hardcore riders who live for speed, jumps, and challenging terrain.
Yamaha’s only pure sport UTV is still turning heads in 2025. The YXZ1000R SS (Sport Shift) is built with a high-revving 998cc triple-cylinder engine, sequential paddle shifting, and a race-inspired suspension. Updates for 2025 include enhanced heat shielding, updated cooling system, and revised suspension tuning. This machine is for the thrill seekers who demand control, speed, and fun.
