CYPRESS, Calif. – June 6,
2008 – Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., built
the toughest, most off-road capable and
versatile ATV in the Grizzly 700 FI with
Electric Power Steering (EPS), and consumers
have responded making it the best selling big
bore utility ATV today*.
“The Grizzly 700 FI with power steering set
many standards in quality and innovation,” said
Yamaha ATV/SxS Marketing Manager Steve Nessl.
“Teamed with the all-new Grizzly 550 FI with
power steering in 2009, the Yamaha Grizzly line
of utility ATVs is stronger than ever.”
In addition to new colors, the latest version
of the Grizzly 700 FI gets a new and improved
gate style gear shifter on the left side of the
vehicle that makes it easier for riders to
switch between High, Low, Park, Neutral and
Reverse. The Yamaha EPS system is
unparalleled in the industry and has received
numerous awards and countless customer praise.
As the rider turns the handlebars and the
torque- and speed-sensing EPS system senses the
twisting force put on the handlebars and wheels,
the electric motor assists in the turn.
The harder you turn, the more the EPS assists
allowing the rider to tackle the toughest
terrain with the least amount of effort.
The Grizzly 700 FI without EPS starts at
approximately $800 less (MSRP) and comes with
all of the benefits and features as the EPS
version -- plus steel wheels. Included in
the list of highlights for both models are a
forged piston for reduced weight and added
durability, while an aluminum cylinder body with
composite coating offers reduced weight,
increased cooling ability and additional wear
resistance. The roller rocker arms reduce
friction in the valve train, which allows the
engine to rev more freely leading to better
overall performance and improved throttle
response. Of course, the ultra-convenient
electric start feature continues to make firing
the liquid-cooled, four-valve SOHC powerplant to
life a snap.
Delivering all that power is the
industry-exclusive Ultramatic™ automatic
transmission system. The transmission’s
gearing makes full use of the powerband under a
variety of riding situations, and the automatic
centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt
tension for reduced belt wear and
industry-exclusive all-wheel downhill engine
braking.
The new gate shifter allows the rider to easily
see what gear he or she has selected. This
is also easy to see on the redesigned LED
display, which offers dual trip meter,
speedometer and odometer in addition gear
selection, fuel level indicator, On-Command™
indicator and EPS and fuel injection indicator
lights. The EPS and fuel injection
indicator lights let the rider know when the
systems need to be serviced according to the
self diagnostic system.
The Yamaha Fuel Injection system (YFI) improves
throttle response throughout the powerband,
helping the rider take advantage of the
Grizzly’s low- to mid-range power. YFI
offers unmatched performance at high elevation
as the system is able to detect and compensate
for changes in altitude. The more precise
fuel delivery offered by the YFI means clean
power delivery, better throttle response and
improved fuel economy under a multitude of
riding situations. In addition, YFI means
no choke and easier cold starting.
The three-way On-Command system, featuring
push-button 2WD/4WD and 4WD with differential
lock, is the perfect compliment to the Grizzly
700 FI powerhouse. Located on the right
handlebar, the push-button is at the rider’s
fingertips to command all four wheels as the
terrain dictates.
When it comes to the features under the surface,
the Grizzly has you covered. The air box
is located on the top of the engine providing
easier access and service for the rider, and the
fuel tank is placed under the seat for maximum
centralization of mass. Moving on down the
body of this beast we find a fully independent
wishbone front and independent rear suspension
(IRS). The adjustable suspension in both
front and rear offers the rider the versatility
to set-up the ATV for all riding conditions.
Featuring 7.1 inches of travel up front and a
class-leading 9.5 inches in the rear, the
Grizzly 700 FI is ready to tackle just about any
terrain. What’s more, 11.8 inches of
ground clearance makes it an unrivaled trail
performer.
As if one industry first with EPS wasn’t enough,
Yamaha continues to pile extras onto this class
leading model in the form of four-wheel
hydraulic disc brakes. Most full-featured
models see three discs, two up front and one on
the rear axle, which controls braking for both
rear wheels. In the case of the Grizzly
700 FI, brake calipers are coupled to each wheel
individually for unmatched braking feel and
power.
The Grizzly 700 FI also features ground-grabbing
tires mounted to aluminum wheels to get you
moving. The Dunlops feature a
Yamaha-exclusive tread pattern for excellent
traction and rider comfort.
The Grizzly also has a thick, plush seat and
full floorboards for comfort and protection from
the elements. The design of the
floorboards also allows for better drainage of
mud and water. Two storage boxes -- one
under the seat and another in the right front
fender -- offer plenty of storage in a sealed,
waterproof and water resistant space. This
is in addition to the 99 pounds and 187 pounds
of carrying capacity on the front and rear
racks, respectively, and the 1,322 pounds of
towing. And, the SecureMount rack system
offers superior fit and finish with Genuine
Yamaha Accessories, which are designed in tandem
with the rack system.
Both 2009 Grizzly 700 FI models (with and
without EPS) are available in Hunter Green,
Steel Blue, Black Metallic (MSRP $8,599 with EPS
and $7,799 without) and Realtree™ AP HD®
Camouflage (MSRP $8,999 with EPS and $8,199
without).
In addition, the 2009 Grizzly 700 FI with EPS is
available in a Ducks Unlimited Edition featuring
Realtree™ AP HD® Camouflage (MSRP $9,049) and a
Special Edition in Red Midnight Armor (MSRP
$9,199). The Grizzly 700 FI ATVs will be
available starting in July 2008.
