CYPRESS, Calif. – June, 6, 2008 -- Boasting a pedigree entrenched in tough, rugged performance and a well deserved reputation for providing the ultimate in comfort, the Grizzly 350 line-up offers three choices to meet specific rider’s needs.  Yamaha started with the budget-friendly Grizzly Auto 2WD, then added a 4WD option and most recently raised the bar with the addition of independent rear suspension (IRS) in the Grizzly 350 Automatic 4x4 IRS.

The Grizzly 350 Automatic 4x4 IRS is a veritable mirror image of its feature-laden Grizzly brethren.  The IRS is matched with Yamaha-exclusive technologies such as the user-friendly On-Command® push-button 4WD system and bulletproof Ultramatic® automatic transmission with industry-leading all-wheel engine braking.

This class-defining bear bests the competition by utilizing a 348cc SOHC engine fed by a Mikuni 33mm BSR carburetor for a smooth yet powerful ride that offers reactive throttle response and consistent power throughout the rev range.  Set to tackle tough terrain, the Grizzly 350’s independent double wishbone configuration offers up to 6.3 inches of travel up front, while the IRS ups the ante both in length of travel and ground clearance out back.  Both the front and rear suspension systems are fully adjustable so the rider can make adjustments to match the terrain or riding style.

The Grizzly 350 4x4s tackle terrain with Yamaha’s class-exclusive On-Command system including push-button 2WD, 4WD and 4WD with diff lock.  The fully-sealed rear wet brake and gear case help in wet conditions, and the aggressive Maxxis tires provide excellent handling and traction regardless of terrain.

For tough jobs, the Grizzly 350s feature steel racks that can handle 88 pounds in the front and 176 pounds in the rear, and feature a rust-resistant Duragrip finish that can accommodate everything from a toolbox to camping gear.  A rear center-mounted hitch can also haul a whopping 1,102 pounds.

For the budget-minded rider, or one looking for a true workhorse, the Grizzly 350 is more than capable for a long day of work on the farm or ranch.

The 2009 Grizzly 350 Automatic 4x4 IRS, with an MSRP of $5,699, will be available in Hunter Green, Black Metallic and Steel Blue in July 2009.  A Realtree™ AP HD® Camouflage version, MSRP $6,049, is available in June.  The Grizzly 350 Automatic 4x4 will come in Green, Black Metallic and Steel Blue in September with an MSRP of $5,199 and Realtree™ AP HD® Camouflage in June with an MSRP of $5,549.  The Grizzly 350 Automatic 2WD will be available in Hunter Green and Black Metallic in August with an MSRP of $4,299.
