The move comes as Yamaha continues to streamline its powersports business following the discontinuation of the YXZ1000R sport side-by-side and its exit from the snowmobile market.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16022\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-16022\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Yamaha-Wolverine-RMAX2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> Yamaha will end US Production of its side-by-side line-up including the Wolverine. Photo: Yamaha[\/caption]\r\n\r\nFor years, Yamaha's side-by-side models, including the Wolverine, Viking, and YXZ families, have been assembled at the company's manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia. As recently as the introduction of its 2026 lineup, Yamaha emphasized that its vehicles were built in the United States for global distribution.\r\n\r\nThe biggest sign of the company's changing strategy came with the retirement of the YXZ1000R, the only sport side-by-side on the market equipped with a manual transmission. Yamaha officials said the company would instead focus on its remaining utility and recreation models, including the Wolverine and Viking platforms.\r\n\r\nAlthough Yamaha has not publicly outlined the full details of its long-term manufacturing plans, the decision reflects broader changes within the powersports industry as manufacturers respond to rising costs, shifting consumer demand, and increased competition in the off-road market.","excerpt":"<p>Yamaha is reportedly preparing to end in-house production of its side-by-side lineup in the United States, marking a major shift &hellip;<\/p>","date":"August 5, 2026 09:55","categories":[{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"},{"id":25047652,"title":"UTV","slug":"utv"}],"tags":[{"id":25049949,"title":"R-MAX","slug":"r-max"},{"id":25049680,"title":"sxs","slug":"sxs"},{"id":25047653,"title":"UTV","slug":"utv"},{"id":25049948,"title":"Wolverine","slug":"wolverine"},{"id":25047984,"title":"yamaha","slug":"yamaha"}]},{"id":15803,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/07\/03\/yamaha-and-max-anstie-mutually-part-ways-mid-season\/","title":"Yamaha and Max Anstie Mutually Part Ways Mid-Season","content":"Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing and Max Anstie have officially ended their partnership by mutual agreement, effective immediately, bringing an end to a successful two-year relationship.\r\n\r\nThe split comes midway through the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship and allows Anstie to focus on defending his FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) SX2 title later this year.
