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.

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

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.

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.
