Ultimax UXP490 XP Drive Belt - Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 / X2 / X4

Ultimax UXP490 XP Severe Duty Double-Cogged Drive Belt

Push your Yamaha Wolverine to the limit with the Ultimax UXP490 XP Drive Belt. Specifically engineered for high-performance UTVs like the Wolverine RMAX 1000 and the X-series 850, the XP series is designed to handle more heat, more load, and more abuse than standard belts. At Moto-House MX, we know that a belt failure can end a ride instantly; upgrading to the Ultimax XP ensures your CVT system operates with maximum efficiency, whether you are rock crawling, hauling heavy loads, or pinning the throttle on open trails.

The UXP490 is constructed from the industry's best rubber compounds and reinforced with tough Aramax (aramid) cord for exceptional tensile strength and longevity. Its double-cogged design enhances belt flexibility and increases surface area for better cooling, which significantly reduces the risk of glazed or burnt belts. With exacting lengths measured to minimize system wear and prevent slippage, this severe-duty belt improves the power delivery of your variable speed drive system, keeping your Wolverine moving forward in the toughest conditions.

Top Features: Ultimax UXP490 XP Drive Belt

• Severe Duty Engineering: Built for extreme performance, handling the massive torque and heat generated by the Wolverine RMAX 1000.
• Aramax Reinforcement: Utilizes tough aramid cord to virtually eliminate belt stretch and maintain consistent RPM throughout its life.
• Double-Cogged Design: Increases flexibility and provides a larger cooling surface area to prevent heat-related failures during aggressive riding.
• Minimized Friction & Wear: Precision-measured length ensures perfect tensioning, reducing wear on your primary and secondary clutches.
• Heat & Load Resistant: Specially formulated rubber compounds are designed to withstand the "abuse" of heavy UTV workloads and high-ambient temperatures.
• Made for UTVs: Tailored specifically for modern side-by-sides requiring a 42-9/16" length and 1-9/32" width.

Expert Pro-Tip: To get the maximum life out of your new Ultimax UXP490, a proper "break-in" period is essential. We recommend driving your Wolverine for the first 20-30 miles at varying speeds without exceeding 50% throttle. This allows the belt to seat perfectly into the clutch sheaves and ensures the rubber compounds cure properly under moderate heat. Additionally, always carry a spare belt and the necessary tools in your RMAX or X2 for peace of mind on long-distance trail rides.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes, the UXP490 is the correct fitment for the 2025-2026 RMAX4 Compact models, as well as the standard RMAX and X-series platforms listed.
