Yamaha YXZ1000R SS
Yamaha announced the new YXZ1000R SS ROV (Recreational Off-highway Vehicle), scheduled from July
2016. The YXZ1000R SS is a two-seater pure sports model, equipped with a paddle
shift change system designed to enable a wide range of thrill-seekers to enjoy
sports driving.
Particularly in North America, the demand for ROVs
is high across a wide range of markets, including commercial, recreational, and
sports applications. Yamaha Motor has been expanding its ROV line-up every
year, most recently adding the pure sports YXZ1000R in September 2015, in addition to the
multi-purpose VIKING and VIKING VI and the recreational Wolverine models.
Based on the YXZ1000R, the new YXZ1000R SS has been
developed as a model offering high-level sports driving to a wide range of
users.
Main features include a class-first paddle shift
5-speed Sports Shift (SS) manual gear change. Based on the YCC-S (Yamaha Chip
Controlled Shift) technology used in some YAMAHA motorcycles, this system
enables gear selection directly from the steering wheel, eliminating the need
for a clutch pedal. Other features include an electric gear selector providing
smooth gear changes between Drive, Reverse, and Neutral.
In addition to the standard specifications of the
YXZ1000R SS, the high-grade YXZ1000R SS SE also features a special paint design
and FOX brand 2.5 Podium X2 Shocks® for both front and rear suspension.
Yamaha Motor will continue to launch new ROV
products to build a wide-ranging lineup that meets customer expectations,
aiming for further sales expansion. This
model is not able to be registered to obtain license plates, and thus cannot be
driven on public roads.
