- Two of my friends both purchased RMAXs this year and I have been really impressed with both the 4 and 2 seat machine. Both are approaching 1000 miles and by now they might be over that in less then a year. As you can see in the video they both have had the crap beat out of them. I am truly a Yamaha guy with my love for the Grizzly being shown with most of my videos. Yamaha really did make a tough machine in the RMAX. Other then a broken axle, ripped CV boots, and a coil wire falling off, Travis and Mike have had almost zero issues with both of their machines. If you have like the video please give it a thumbs up! And don't forget to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already! Thank you for watching!
Finally I watched a video showing the capabilities of the Rmax, I loved watching the power and performance in different situations of the 2 seater as well as the 4 seater, the real beauty is the versatility of both models
Hey thank you for watching! I’m impressed with the RMAX myself! Mike and Travis are constantly testing out their rigs to see what they can go through! I’m lucky enough to be there for most of it and capture the moments on film!
@@grizzlygreg8922 yes, it’s more versatile and capable than most of the utvs on the market but also more reliable than any other using a belt, you won’t be towed on the trails haha
by far one the best videos I seen yet the Yamaha rmax taking over hope they would the rmax making the other brands worried way to go Yamaha
Thank you for watching! I’m impressed with both the 2 and 4 seaters and both Mike and Travis love their rigs! And thank you for the feedback on the video! Took me a while and 7 memory cards worth a film to go through to put this one together.
Have had a blast on the trails with our viking the last 4 years, the rmax will be our new sxs
Great choice! Lots of power mixed with comfort and style!
Great video! The R-Max and the YXZ are the best SXS’s on the market in my opinion.
Both are very well built machines!! I will definitely be going back to Yamaha on my next SxS! Thank you for watching!!
The RMAX sounds damn good in stock form. Keep looking for videos of exhaust and any performance goodies.
Both my buddies who have the two RMAXs in the video haven’t done any yet and I don’t think they plan too.. they put a lot of miles on the trail and like the sound it has and don’t want it too loud
Slight correction there Greg... Mikes 2 seater has a whisky bent exhaust tip. And I have a homemade tip. Both made it just slightly loader for basically a better sound at idle and WOT.
This is the reason you NEVER EVER EVER buy a used side by side..haha
Exactly, you never know what you are going to get.. could be getting someone else’s problem for sure!
Yamaha giving a 10 year belt warranty means they are pretty confident
I agree 100%, they build tough machines. My 2012 Grizzly has been through a lot and is still running like a champ
You guys are wild! Ride looked like a lot of fun 😜
Ooo yea!! We usually are pushing the limits every once in a while 🤘
Who ever doubt the machine obviously isn't no true ATV rider/builder/mechanic. They focus on one brand and think there better than anyone else. I prefer Yamaha ppl over canam and Polaris a holes anyway. Why cause they don't care. No one's sitting around comparing there just riding. I love my rmax4 it goes everywhere the rest go. I proved that to loud mouths canam,Honda, Kawasaki and Polaris ppl.
You are exactly right, I went and bought a Polaris Highlifter a few few years ago, wanted a purpose built mud machine but as I am getting a little older, just added a branch to the family tree, I’m going to be looking at the RMax 4 in e next few years for sure. Awesome trail rig, Travis put on some 31 Outlaw 1’s in this video and his Rmax4 handled them just fine, it will be on my radar for sure!! Plus being a grizzly owner since early 20s, I’m a Yamaha guy for sure!
Great video ! Got my 22 X2 this morning. I can’t wait til spring !
Awesome machine!! It’s on my radar in w next couple of years! Going to need a 4 seater by then
I know you are a Yamaha guy, but unbiased, how has reliability been? I’ve heard about transmission and engine failures. Any bad stuff? Also how easy is it to maintain and service. I’ve heard performance is great but I’m wondering about durability.
Keep sending it out there!
Travis the guy with the four seater, did have a axle problem but thats it so far. We just did a 1400 mile CVT clutch cleaning and greasing and everything looked well. The rollers in the secondary had a little wear on them but thats to be expected after 1400 miles. Other then that Mike, the guy with the 2 seater, has overheating issues but he doesn't clean his machine well so when you look at his radiator it is always caked full. So with that said it has very good cooling! since he doesn't overheat all the time even with a caked full rad. Transmission failures were happening from what I heard it would happen with in the first 50 miles, after that you were good.
Great Video Guys!!! So Much Good Info presented the right way!!
Thank you for watching! Sometimes all we need is video showing what it can do other then telling you what it can do lol
glad i found your channel man you guys might be the biggest senders on youtube lol
Awesome man! Yea spread the word of the channel.. I will be a little slow with the uploads from now till December but once deer season is done I will be back riding!
Wow. Nice video. Love The R-max. 👍👍
Hey thank your for watching! I’m a fan of the RMAX, the 4 seater is on the radar down the road, very capable machine!
@@grizzlygreg8922 Yeah I just got the 850 X2 Wolverine a few months ago. Love it. Just wish the R-max wasn't so much more expensive otherwise I would've got that.
True story, they are a little expensive, I agree, 🤞🏻 price might drop as the next couple years go by
Definitely recognize some of the footage from the Badlands off road park, that's good stuff 🍻 lots of fun
Yes sir exactly right! The badlands trip was probably the best trip of 2021. If it was only 2 hours closer to me! That 5-5.5 hour trip is just a shade to far for a weekend rip. I like to make it a 3-4 day event when I do go. Thank you for watching!
@@grizzlygreg8922 bummer it's so far, it's only about a half hour from my house to Badlands..I bought an old Honda Rancher 350 just to go over there and have fun with my buddies, it really is a great park!
They are a slick unit. I haven't had the chance to see one riding in person yet. Hopefully soon though! I need to find a wrecked one so I can find a way to put the motor in the Grizzly cause Yamaha will never do it haha.
Lmao. I hear ya on the Grizzly statement, I wish the 850 would make its way in a chassis, or even a new twin of some sort… either way it’s not going to stop me from buying a new one in he spring.. hopefully 🤞🏻
@@grizzlygreg8922 Oh for sure. Cant let that discourage you're desiccation.
Good old rmaxx they look some impressive. How are they holding up as far as braking stuff goes?
Mike had a a coil wire fall off one ride, Travis broke a LH front axle on the badlands ride, other then that nothing . Very well built and I’m impressed! The 4 seater is on my radar, with a new baby coming in the next week or two, 4 seater will be on the agenda in the next few years
broke my LR axel on first ride. I don't want to blame the machine just yet because I'm sure I had something to do with it but still a little upset
@@annahdz11 absolutely right to be upset had to be a defect I would think.
The laughter has to go lmao!
Rmax 4 xtr. 720 miles and still going strong! Her name is Pam. Lol
I love when people name their machines! I think it’s awesome! There is some in my group that think it is just stupid though. So I make sure I say names even more in front of them to piss them off lol
My rmax 4 le is babe the blue ox lol figured it fit 50 miles north is a huge statue of Paul bunion and Babe the Blue Ox lol
@@KC-7mm hahaha classic!
Is some of this at the Attica Badlands or Haspin Acres?
Good footage!
A lot of it is from the Badlands, my group loves that park! Wish we could get down their twice a year but a lot of us work some crazy hours and is hard to get a group together. And driving 7 hours for a weekend trip is a long way lol
@@grizzlygreg8922 You from Michigan? I was wondering if some of it was Bundy Hill also? I'm a couple hours away from the Badlands. I'm near Ft Wayne.
No we are in Wisconsin, bundy hill is on my radar, but with Lake Michigan in the way it is a good hike over there…. Probably will never make it over there, unless I go attend Racetober; sxs blog event they have.. then I would make a trip out of it and hit of mounds and bundy
@@grizzlygreg8922 I was riding in the western UP in September. Not for from WI. We stayed just outside of Ontonagon, on Lake Superior. A couple of years ago I made a wrong turn on the trails in Watersmeet and ended up in Land’O’Lakes WI.
@@williemaykit7940 damn, yea you were heading south the entire time lol.... a lot of my riding is in Marquette County. My sister and brother in law live up there so I got free room and board, and they know the trails pretty well. So it is a no brainer for me not to go up there a few times a year
Looks like the Rmaxs can take a beating.
Are the guys running 32's on them? Look bigger then the stock 30's.
The 2 seater has stock, the 4 seater has tried stocks, 32’’ rock crawler tires of some sort for a few clips and also had 31’’ Outlaws in some of the clips also
@@grizzlygreg8922 was 32s to much tire rubbing wise,looking at 30 or 32s myself?
I still have my stocks on the 2 seater in the vid but have recently went to 32x10x15 frontline acp tire definitely really liking them so far
Never seen one in all the places I ride.
I don’t see a lot of them at the mud parks in the south. Up here is Wisconsin I usually don’t got a 1 ride with out seeing one. Way more common for trail riding states
What place is this your riding?
This video is a video of clips from many rides all over Midwest USA
Is the rmax or rmax X4 top heavy or sketchy going up steep hills? That's my only worry of it vs a sport utv
A loaded RMax 4 seems to have a lot of body roll but the RMax 2 is good 👍
What front window is that on the 2 Seater?
Just the Super Atv flip up windshield, Mike absolutely loves it!
