Powerful, versatile and extremely capable
We took our most powerful fuel-injected engine and wrapped it in our toughest, most advanced chassis. The result? An ATV with one of the best power-to-weight ratios around.
Add in Yamaha's industry-first electric power steering system, Ultramatic Transmission, On-Command System, a thick seat and long-travel four-wheel independent suspension and you can hear the competition trembling.
BIG POWER: Most powerful Grizzly ever with its 686cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight has the best power-to-weight ratio of any Yamaha utility ATV. Yamaha Fuel Injection means instantaneous cold starts and optimal performance in nearly any condition, at nearly any altitude.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING: You've all heard of EPS over the last few years. But what does it mean for you as a rider? EPS does a few things, including dramatically reducing steering effort, even in 4WD, enhancing rider confidence and ease of operation. It also isolates the rider from external forces acting on the front wheels. This will enable you to worry less about the terrain so you can focus on enjoying the ride. Yamaha's EPS is also speed and torque sensitive, which means there is more assist at low speeds when you need it, and less assist at higher speeds to help optimize handling and stability.
BIG BORE POWER: Tipping the scales at less than 150 lbs than some of our competitors 800's, it's no wonder our biggest Grizzly has the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. Less weight has an effect on everything from handling and acceleration to hill climbing and mud prowess.
4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: Slowing down this Grizzly requires less effort thanks to 4-wheel disc brakes combined with full-time engine braking. The front and rear brakes can be operated independently, giving you more control over how you break depending on the situation. After all, slowing down your big-bore ATV shouldn't be a challenge.
ON-COMMAND SYSTEM: Push-button servo-controlled On-Command system allows you to switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a dash mounted button. With Diff-lock engaged traction is at all 4-wheels instantaneously putting you in total control. You decide when you need 4 wheel drive, the machine doesn't decide for you.
ULTRAMATIC TRANSMISSION: Revolutionary Ultramatic™ fully automatic transmission is the first automatic transmission to feature true engine braking. All four wheels receive engine braking in 4WD mode. Dual-range transmission with reverse. Low range has approximately 1.5 times the pulling power of high range.
MASS CENTRALIZATION: You'll find the gas tank positioned under the seat, which provides a lower centre of gravity for improved handling, stability and hill climbing capability. The air box is positioned up high, reducing the chance of water and debris from getting into the engine.
V-BELT DUCTING: High mounted air box, V-belt intake and exhaust ducts, reduce the opportunity for water and debris to enter the V-Belt housing.
REVERSE MOUNTED REAR SUSPENSION: The wheel center does not change but allows for a shorter frame which improves approach/departure angles, and allows the use of stronger ball joints (more clearance).
