Side-by-Side (SxS) FAQ
Why is Yamaha stopping in-house production of Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles?
Evolving customer needs, declining demand in select
SxS categories, and heightened pressure on supply chain and production costs
have created a business environment that led Yamaha to make the strategic decision to
discontinue in-house SxS manufacturing and focus on product categories and
growth opportunities with strong long-term potential.
Is Yamaha getting out of the SxS business?
Yamaha is not exiting the SxS business and will
continue to focus on product innovation and development opportunities in key
SxS categories, including the largest and growing multi-purpose segment.
Additional details on future plans and product
offerings will be made available soon. In the meantime, Yamaha will work to
ensure parts availability, service, and customer service on current and legacy
SxS models.
How long will Yamaha continue selling Side-by-Sides?
2026 will be the last model year for in-house SxS
production, which includes Wolverine & Viking models. Yamaha, through its dealer network, will
continue to support retail sales of all existing SxS inventory.
