Development platform
What we’re learning from the Yamaha YXZ 4S Build
The Yamaha YXZ 4S Build is where we work through front axle geometry, driveshaft movement and hydraulic steering clearance. We’re carrying those checks into EVO 2.0T mock-up, where the new chassis and powertrain layout will have their own measurements.

From layout to testing
02 · Design
Suspension travel
Check shock placement, spring clearance and suspension movement through bump, droop and steering lock.
03 · Validate
Systems testing
Plan shakedown checks for steering, braking, cooling and driveline behavior before increasing test loads.
