Top Features

    Special Edition Package: The 2016 Grizzly? EPS SE features 

an aggressive look with machined alloy wheels, sharp Carbon 

Metallic painted bodywork and special graphics.
    High-Tech Engine Designed For Aggressive Trail Riding: The 

2016 Grizzly has an all-new, more powerful DOHC, 708cc, 4-

valve, fuel-injected engine with optimized torque, power 

delivery and engine character for aggressive recreational 

riding. Peak power is up six percent compared to the previous 

Grizzly 700, and torque rises nearly ten percent.
    Optimized, High-Performance Ultramatic? Transmission: 

Grizzly's Ultramatic? transmission features a gated shifter, 

dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive plus reverse gear, and is the most 

advanced – and durable – CVT drive system available. New gear 

ratio and CVT settings are tuned for recreational riding on 

the Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis? 26-inch tires. An automatic 

centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced 

belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine 

braking.
    Trail-Ready Chassis: All-new chassis designed to take 

advantage of 26-inch, exclusively-designed Maxxis? tires, 5-

way preload adjustable suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, 

creating optimum terrainability, comfort and handling—

especially on long, rough trails.
    Sharp New Styling: The Grizzly's new styling features LED 

headlights with a handlebar-mounted halogen work light, an LED 

taillight, reshaped fenders, with three large storage 

compartments and new, larger-diameter front and rear racks 

with increased load capacity.
    Yamaha's Exclusive On-Command? 4WD: The three-position 

On-Command? 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-

slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD all with the 

simple push of a button. Override button allows engine to make 

maximum rpm in full diff. lock mode.
    Advanced Instrumentation: New digital instrument panel 

boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, 

dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position, 

clock and fuel gauge.
    Class-Leading Power Steering: Yamaha's Electric Power 

Steering provides the industry's best balance of steering 

assist and positive feedback from the trail, providing maximum 

comfort and confidence.

Chassis/Suspension

    High-Performance Tires: 26-inch, exclusively-designed 

Maxxis? tires provide precise steering, optimize comfort and 

maximize available traction.
    Independent Double Wishbone Front and Rear Suspension: 

Independent double wishbone suspension, with 7.6" of front 

wheel travel and 9.1" at the rear, provides excellent rider 

comfort even on the toughest trails, thanks to nitrogen-

charged shocks with new settings and 5-way adjustable preload.
    Four-Wheel Hydraulic Disc Brakes : Four-wheel hydraulic 

disc brakes with dual-piston calipers serve up powerful and 

consistent braking performance to add to rider confidence with 

unmatched braking feel.

tank is located under the seat for excellent mass 

centralization and handling.

composite skid plates, to deliver maximum underbelly 

protection while enhancing terrainability.

front bumper resists scratching and won't rust, while 

injection-molded fenders and CV joint guards protect against 

rock and debris damage.
