2018 Wolverine X4- Introduction

Parallel Twin Engine

Using technology from Yamaha’s sportbikes, the Wolverine X4 has a new 847cc twin-cylinder powerplant featuring drive-by-wire throttle, a 270-degree crankshaft design and lightweight internals.

Forged pistons and connecting rods are used for durable high-rpm performance and Yamaha’s 270° Crossplane Concept Crankshaft is designed for linear torque development and power throughout the rpm range. To improve efficiency, the engine features a dry-sump design for a more compact layout and offset cylinder block to reduce friction loss, while rubber engine mounts and a geared counterbalancer provide smooth running from idle to redline.
