SPEED & PERFORMANCE PROFILE
75 MPH Governed Top Speed:
The 2018 Wildcat XX delivers exhilarating acceleration with a factory-governed top speed of 75 mph in high range . Professional testing confirms that with the speed limiter disabled, the machine is capable of reaching 89 mph, showcasing the potential of the 125hp Genesis triple . This provides ample velocity for desert running, trail riding, and dune exploration.
125 HP Yamaha Genesis Triple Engine:
At the heart of the Wildcat XX is the proven Yamaha Genesis 998cc inline triple-cylinder engine—a powerplant with an exceptional reputation for reliability and high-rpm performance . Engine highlights include:
- Liquid-cooled DOHC design with 12 valves (4 per cylinder) for efficient high-rpm breathing
- 125 horsepower in naturally aspirated trim—Textron modified the cam, intake manifold, and throttle body system to bump power over the stock Yamaha tune
- Dry sump lubrication ensures consistent oil delivery during extreme angles
- Throttle mapping is progressive and smooth for the first 75% of pedal travel, making easy work of tight, technical terrain without being jumpy or lurchy—the last quarter of travel acts like a “boost button,” spinning the engine to 9200 RPM and providing serious forward thrust
Team Industries CVT Transmission:
The all-new CVT system developed with Team Industries delivers seamless power delivery:
- Smooth engagement and quick, positive shifting through the range selector
- Tool-less CVT cover makes belt changes quick and easy
- Dual vent ports keep belt temperatures down—Robby Gordon stated, “We are seeing belts with thousands of miles of life easy”
Selectable 4WD with Diff Lock:
The 2WD/4WD/diff-lock toggle is designed for intuitive operation with a safety feature requiring a pull-down and press to engage diff-lock, preventing accidental engagement . The low range and CVT tuning make the Wildcat XX exceptionally capable in rock-crawling situations.
