The stock A-arms on a Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 are perfectly adequate right up to the day you decide the machine should be doing more. Then they become the ceiling. There is no room under the fender for a bigger tire, the lower arm sits low enough to find every rock and stump in a tight section, and the tubing is sized for stock expectations rather than yours. The SuperATV High-Clearance 1.5" Forward Offset A-Arms for the Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 go after all three problems in one part, and they start at $640.95.
How the bend and the offset do their work
There are two separate geometry changes here and they solve two separate problems. The high-clearance bend is built into the arm itself and, as SuperATV puts it, puts more distance between your undercarriage and the ground so you can ride over rocks, stumps and more without getting hung up. That is the one you notice on a rutted trail, where a stock lower arm is the thing that catches first.
The 1.5" forward offset does something different: it lengthens the wheelbase. SuperATV says a longer wheelbase leads to greater stability and room for up to 34" tires. Both of those are worth having, and they tend to arrive together — a longer wheelbase settles the machine down at speed, and the extra space ahead of the tire is what lets a 34 turn without eating the fender liner.
What SuperATV states about the build
- 1.5" steel tubing, which the listing notes is larger than stock
- High-clearance bends to clear trail obstacles
- Forward-offset design that creates room for larger tires
- Powder-coat finish for long-lasting performance
- Preinstalled HDPE bushings at no extra cost
- Vehicle-specific fit for easier, more secure installation
- Lifetime A-arm warranty
The lifetime warranty is the line to weigh hardest. A-arms are a part you buy once if they are right and three times if they are not, and a manufacturer willing to stand behind the tubing for the life of the part is telling you something about what they expect it to survive.
Camber adjustability, and why it matters
These arms use pivot blocks with full camber adjustability. SuperATV makes a practical case for it: lift kits, extra cargo and even adding a passenger can throw off the feel of your RMAX, and adjusting camber lets you keep the ride quality you want regardless of what you have changed. It also, in their words, can eliminate premature tire wear — which is the part that pays for itself if you are running expensive 32s or 34s.
Worth knowing before you worry about it: the arms come set to factory specs right out of the box, so you only have to touch the adjustment if you actually want to.
Ball joints — read this before you check out
This is the detail that trips up orders. SuperATV is explicit: you must re-use your stock ball joints if you do not select a pre-installed ball joint at checkout. If your stock joints are already tired, you are about to have the suspension apart anyway, and this is the moment to deal with them.
If you buy a set of SuperATV Heavy Duty Ball Joints with the arms, SuperATV will install them in your upper A-arms for you at no charge. Their heavy-duty joints are built from a proprietary blend of hardened 4340 VAR steel with zinc plating, have accessible grease zerks and an adjustable design, and SuperATV states that lab and field testing shows they withstand double the pressure of an OEM ball joint.
Fitment
- Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 2 1000: 2021 and newer
- Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 4 1000 Compact: 2021 and newer
- Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 4 1000 with dump bed: 2025 and newer
Note the split in the RMAX 4 line. The Compact is covered from 2021, but the full-size dump-bed RMAX 4 only picks up from 2025. Confirm which one is sitting in your shop before ordering.
Who it is for
This is a set of arms for the owner who has already decided on bigger tires, or who rides ground rough enough that the lower arms are taking hits. If you run your RMAX stock on maintained trail, the stock arms are not holding you back and this is not the upgrade to make first. If you are planning a tire and wheel package, or you have been hanging up in the same rocky section every weekend, this is the part that changes the answer.
