2013 Yamaha Grizzly 450 EPS

Yamaha Grizzly 450 EPS

Staying comfortable under trying conditions during a lengthy working day is crucial. That’s exactly what the mid-sized Grizzly 450 EPS is designed for.

Equipped with Electronic Power Steering, fully independent suspension, a rear wet brake, On-Command® drive system and a one-piece lightweight frame, it’s agile and nimble to handle.

This rider-focused design philosophy extends to the smallest details like lightweight tyres and a comfortable seat. Add exceptional fuel economy, low maintenance requirements and a range of handy accessories, and you have the ultimate all-rounder you need to get your job done.

Yamaha Utility ATVs are built with one goal in mind: easing the workloads of those in tough outdoor environments.

This philosophy is engineered in every detail. Like torque-heavy engines that get you moving when terrain is tricky, or loads are heavy; effort-reducing technologies like automatic transmission and Electric Power Steering; and ergonomic designs which mean you’ll still feel comfortable after a long day in the saddle. Plus, they run economically and require low maintenance.

Yamaha Utility ATVs are tireless workhorses - but that’s not all they are. When time permits, these vehicles pack the punch to give riders a big dose of fun, too.

Powerful engine

Substantial power lies at the heart of the Grizzly 450 EPS. The liquid-cooled 421cc engine offers the kind of low-rpm torque whenever you need and wherever you need it. In addition, Ultramatic® transmission provides outstanding engine braking on even the steepest working areas.

Lightweight frame

The one-piece frame reduces weight as well as being a stronger and more rigid construction. It incorporates an extra-durable rear gear assembly, connected at three (rather than the normal two) separate points for best-ever protection against the strains of regular, heavy-duty use. A short, spring stabilizer bar offers increased support.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

On long days or in difficult terrain, EPS helps every rider of any body size. The system uses rider and wheel input to assist steering, provides feedback, prevents handlebar slaps and the high-output AC generator guarantees power supply in all conditions. The EPS is the same version as the Grizzly 700’s but with a revised ECU mapping.

On-Command® drive system

Yamaha’s push-button On-Command® 2WD/4WD system (with locked-differential 4WD) lets you easily switch between drive modes, giving near-instantaneous transition to adapt to changing riding and surface conditions.

Independent long-travel adjustable suspension

Long-travel suspension ensures tyres are in consistent contact with the ground even on tricky terrain. The Grizzly 450 EPS’ double A-Arm front suspension and Independent Rear Suspension adapt to all surfaces and offer massive ground clearance. Pre-load adjustability optimizes handling for all riders and loads (Carefull as a reader pointed to us that those shocks might not be adjustable after all, check your vehicle before buying! Thanks Mark for the tip).

Multi-disc wet braking

The durable sealed oil-bathed multi-disc brake setup protects the system from clogging by mud or stones thrown up during use. It provides strong and consistent stopping power and is easy to adjust.

Excellent cargo capacity

Offering generous storage capacity, the Grizzly 450 EPS can carry a maximum payload of 120 kg - 40 kg at the front, and 80 kg at the rear. A lightweight hitch mount is capable of towing heavy loads up to 600kg

Comfort and practicality

The lightweight seat designed for cold-weather riding comfort, plus a range of durable, practical accessories - such as winches, plough, lighting kits and battery chargers - help take the strain out of your busy working day.
