RHINO CHARGES IN

The Rhino 700 is the latest concept in working vehicles that features easy to operate automotive-style controls. Just hit the electric start, grab the steering wheel, press the pedal and you're on your way… practically anywhere.

That’s because the Rhino 700 is designed to handle super rough terrain with a combination of a powerful 686cc engine and unrivalled off road chassis. Its liquid/oil-cooled 686cc five-valve engine produces huge amounts of torque via Yamaha’s exclusive Ultramatic™ automatic transmission - with industry-leading all-wheel engine braking - and On-Command™ push-button 2WD/4WD/4WD Diff Lock system. Which means Rhino’s driver can access full traction at the flick of a switch for true off road ability.

This awesome drivetrain combines with a four-wheel independent-suspended chassis plus the highest ground clearance in the business to give the plushest ride offered in a side-by-side.

An automatic V-belt transmission adds to simplicity of operation and makes for an ultra-smooth ride, while a reverse gear increases the Rhino’s amazing versatility.

Throw in, triple-hydraulic disc brakes, 30 litre fuel tank and a new large capacity steel dump bed - and you’ve just invented the perfect machine for work or adventure. The latest model also features tough new four-ply Maxxis tyres and gun metal wheels, plus integral undercarriage protection.

FEATURES

♦   Comfortable interior with automotive-type controls: A new steering wheel, left-side foot brake pedal/right-side foot accelerator pedal, center-mounted console shifter and parking brake lever, turn-to-start ignition switch, indicator lights and 12-volt accessory outlet render the Rhino totally user-friendly.
♦   686cc liquid-/oil-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight add up to an excellent power-to-weight ratio and great performance.
♦   Industry-exclusive fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission with dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse is the most advanced drive system available. Maintaining constant belt tension reduces wear, gives instant throttle response and provides industry-exclusive all-wheel downhill engine braking.
♦   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.
♦   Fully independent four-wheel suspension: Double-wishbones front and rear deliver 7.3 inches of wheel travel and 12.1 inches of ground clearance; five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide maximum tire contact and amazing comfort while navigating rough terrain.
♦   Thick bucket seats and that great long-travel suspension system work together to provide the smoothest ride in the industry.
♦   Electronic fuel injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts.
♦   Tough, rotomolded doors keep mud, water and dirt on the trail where they belong.
♦   New four-wheel disc brakes provide unsurpassed stopping power, and a new parking brake is super convenient.
♦   Cool, comfortable new steering wheel and new passenger grab handles.
♦   Now with two cup holders for even greater creature comfort.
♦   New underhood tool-free air filter is a snap to service.
♦   CV joint protectors for long, trouble-free life.

ENGINE

♦   686cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected beast makes this one the alpha Rhino.
♦   Dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive with reverse taps into more pulling power in low and more performance in high.
♦   Console-mounted dual-range (H/L/N/R) shift lever.
♦   Sealed drive case keeps out water and debris, and a hand-operated side cover drain lets out what little gets in.
♦   Specially designed full stainless-steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for superb power characteristics with minimum noise output.
♦   Large-capacity aluminum radiator and oil cooler with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
♦   Specially designed drive system air intake vent helps prevent overheating and keeps water and mud from entering the drive case.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

♦   Steel frame is lightweight and features outstanding durability with superior rigidity for superb handling.
♦   Light, responsive rack-and-pinion steering features a fully sealed steering column and double U-jointed steering linkage for smooth operation and class-leading turning radius—even in 4WD.
♦   12.1-inch ground clearance delivers maximum underbelly protection while enhancing terrainability.
♦   Low-maintenance front shaft drive features gear case and electronic servo-activated 2WD/4WD/Diff Lock via the On-Command® system. Direct rear shaft drive eliminates the U-joint for greater durability and more efficient power transfer at all rpm.
♦   Heavy-duty CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.
♦   Standard center-mounted, heavy-duty 2-inch receiver-style hitch can tow over 1,200 pounds.
