A high-powered ATV has no room for newbie riders and only those that know their way around one should be riding it. It's not that the Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS->ke1930 isn't suited for novices, but if you're breaking into the world of ATVs, you might settle for something a little more entry-level.

On the other hand, if you're a veteran of four-wheeled, off-road riding, then the Grizzly 700 EPS will definitely make your heart skip a beat. Powered by a 686cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine, the Grizzly 700 EPS boasts of the best power-to-weight ratio of any Yamaha->ke301 utility ATV on the market. The engine is then mated to a fully automatic Ultramatic transmission that's considered the most advanced drive system among ATVs.

As far as handling is concerned, the Grizzly 700 EPS was built with WideArc front suspension A-arms that provide outstanding ground clearance. For maximum control and comfort over rough terrain, the ATV comes with a fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension featuring a double-wishbone suspension set-up on the front and five-way preload-adjustable shocks on the rear.

More than its performance and handling capabilities, the Grizzly 700 EPS also looks the part. It's a lean, mean, fighting machine that comes with features riders can enjoy. It has a center-mounted, heavy-duty trailer hitch that can tow more than 1300 pounds. Likewise, the ATV also has rugged steel cargo racks with a special, extra-durable wrinkle

paint finish that can pack a total of 286 pounds. There's also an LCD instrument display that contains fuel injection and electric power steering information, as well as bar-type fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, trip meter, clock, and Diff. Lock indicator. Dual 35-watt multireflector halogen bulb headlights with high and low beams complete the Grizzly 700 EPS' set-up.

Performance

-Raptor-based four-valve combustion chamber design produces

a potent combination of low-rev torque, instant throttle response

and high horsepower.

-Compact engine design features a 35-degree cylinder angle

for ground clearance and lower seat height for quick steering

and maneuverability.

-Gear-driven crankshaft balancer shaft and rubber-damper engine

mounts reduce vibration.

-Ceramic-composite cylinder liners provide outstanding durability

and heat dissipation; forged piston is light and strong and rides a

carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod.

-Two-lobe overhead cam and a pair of needle-roller rocker

arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency

and torque.

-Mikuni fuel injection with 44mm bore and throttle position

sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in

nearly any condition.

-Pushbutton electric start with seven-disc torque-limiting damper

assembly to protect the starter motor.

-Straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction,

noise, vibration, and maintenance.

-Stainless steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields

and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum

noise output.

-High-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers

maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame

for optimal protection.

-Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces engine maintenance and

helps extend engine life.

-Five-position shift lever with H, L, N, R and P gates provides

positive Ultramatic transmission operation.

-Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff.

Lock mode.

-Sealed drive case keeps out water and debris to help

increase durability.

Chassis and Suspension

-WideArc front suspension A-arms provide outstanding

ground clearance.

-Five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide a comfortable ride,

whatever the load or trail conditions.

-Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes serve up consistent,

long-lasting braking power under all sorts of nasty conditions.

-Electric power steering varies assist according to speed and

torque for increased comfort and incredible maneuverability—

even in 4WD.

-5.3-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass

centralization and handling; there’s a 4.8-liter water-resistant

storage compartment under there, too.

-11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite

skidplate deliver maximum underbelly protection while

enhancing terrainability.

-25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear Maxxis® tires provide responsive

steering and handling along with excellent comfort.

-Rugged injection-molded front bumper and CV joint guards

protect against rock and debris damage.
