HIGHWAY YAMAHA

     

Looking for a middleweight taskmaster that gives you the big features? Look no further. Just like its big brothers, the Grizzly 450 makes fuel-efficient, liquid-cooled power, and its 45° inclined cylinder configuration simultaneously combines maximum ground clearance and a lower seat height for surprising agility. A high volume aluminium radiator, positioned high in the frame for optimal protection, smoothes out temperature fluctuations so your Grizzly is just as happy at 6kph as it is at 60.

Yamaha’s advanced Ultramatic® V-belt transmission is a simple, no-fuss ride that lets you keep your mind on the job at hand. The leftside–mounted shifter accesses Hi/Lo range, neutral, reverse and Grizzly’s transmission park brake (that never needs adjusting).

Underlining its full-featured nature, the Grizzly 450 also comes with the same industry-exclusive threeposition On-Command® switching that allows shifting between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and diff-lock 4WD – at the push of a button.

Industry-exclusive: three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD— all with the simple push of a button.

With a great engine, unsurpassed transmission and drive shifting mechanisms, the Grizzly only needed great trail hook-up to be a true stand-out. Check. With the independent suspension edge of double wishbone suspension front and rear you get the Grizzly advantage of ultimate terrainability.

Grizzly 450 gives you big bore features and go-anywhere attitude, at a middleweight’s price.
