The weekend-long event has onsite RV and primitive camping options, along with daily and nightly entertainment hosted by Yamaha.
“The XT-R Challenge is a great way for Yamaha owners to put the Proven Off-Road promise of their Side-by-Side or ATV vehicles to the test on trails and obstacles specifically intended to challenge Wolverine, YXZ, and Grizzly models,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s Motorsports group marketing manager. “With the all-new Wolverine RMAX 1000 in the lineup offering next-level class-leading capability and power, we’re super excited to see what proud Yamaha owners can do in them. It is the perfect opportunity realize your adventure and enjoy this once-a-year get-together with the Yamaha off-roading family.”
The XT-R Challenge, now in its third year, features an off-road course with varying natural terrains and man-made obstacles specifically designed to put participants and their Proven Off-Road Yamaha Wolverine, YXZ1000R, and Grizzly vehicles to the test. New for 2021, Yamaha has a 1,000cc class specifically for Wolverine RMAX 1000 and YXZ1000R owners, featuring all-new challenges and obstacles to highlight their unmatched power, performance, and off-road prowess.
