More big bore power, more tough off road ability and more compact than ever,
the fuel injected Grizzly 700 EPS features an industry-exclusive electric
power steering system that makes it not just the toughest Grizzly ever, but
also the smoothest riding.
Powering the Grizzly 700 EPS is Yamaha’s proven
revolutionary fuel injected 686cc, four-stroke forward-inclined single
cylinder and liquid-cooled engine. This features a ceramic composite coated,
all-aluminium cylinder, a reverse-facing air intake, electronic fuel
injection, straight intake tracts and four valves per cylinder for grunt on
tap. It also features a high-efficiency radiator mounted high in the chassis
to protect against mud and debris.
The Grizzly’s power steering system is speed sensitive, so that the rider
benefits from more assistance when needed at low speed and less when on the
move. A low mounted 20 litre fuel cell centralises mass and ensures that
handling characteristics are further optimised.
To assist with braking, the engine features Yamaha’s Engine Brake
Control, which helps to slow the ATV when descending steep downhills. The
Grizzly 700 4x4 EPS transfers power from its engine to the wheels through
Yamaha’s Ultramatic V-Belt transmission featuring high and low range,
reverse, plus parking brake.
By pressing a button on the handlebar, the rider can also select two or
four wheel drive operation. In four wheel drive mode, the Grizzly 700 can
use the differential lock to deliver the torque equally to all wheels for
maximum traction. The straight layout design of the drive shafts reduces
vibration and minimises torque fluctuations in the drive line.
The rear braking system and gear case have been redesigned in conjunction
with the independent rear suspension. Smaller and more compact, the gear
case is extremely rugged and efficient. The dual front and rear hydraulic
discs provide maximum stopping power for the Grizzly.
A sturdy double-cradle frame is crafted from tubular steel while double
wishbone suspension features front and rear. The independent suspension
system features five-way adjustable pre-load and offers generous wheel
travel. The setup offers smooth action, high stability and excellent rider
comfort.
The combination of the chassis and suspension provides the Grizzly 700
EPS with a massive amount of ground clearance. Plus the riding position sits
25mm higher than that of the Grizzly 660 4x4, enhancing the rider’s ability
to scan the horizon. The vertically positioned automotive-style instrument
panel suits the riding position with features to ensure that the rider has
all the key information.
Yamaha’s Grizzly is a legend in utility ATV circles. The 700cc version
with fuel injection and Electronic Power Steering has further refined the
Grizzly legend to ensure that future generations of workers can enjoy
Grizzly toughness and reliability.
