Bevans, an avid off-road and Yamaha fanatic, shared his enthusiasm upon receiving the news: “I couldn’t believe it. I never win anything. You always enter these things thinking that it would be amazing if you won, but you never think that it would actually be you.”
“Everyone at Yamaha is very excited for Wyatt, especially after hearing how much of an enthusiast he is for the sport and Yamaha,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV / SxS group marketing manager. “We’re looking forward to hearing about his VIP Supercross experience, and can’t wait to see him in his new Sport Shift YXZ.”
Yamaha kicked off 2017 launching the YXZ Supercross Sweepstakes in January. The YXZ1000R SS, which quickly became a fan-favorite of powersports enthusiasts, is the world’s first and only SxS to combine pure-sport performance with an exciting and high-tech paddle shifting experience. Boasting the same industry-first three-cylinder 998cc engine and unparalleled direct-connection feeling as the original YXZ, the YXZ1000R SS features Yamaha’s confidence-inspiring Sport Shift technology. The SS technology is defined by a five-speed sequential shift transmission with an advanced automatic clutch system and pure-sport inspired paddle shifters – eliminating the need for a clutch pedal and removing your foot from the accelerator while shifting.
