Recognizing the need for a youth ATV that is versatile and offers safety features for young riders, without sacrificing performance when their skills improve, Yamaha has introduced a new ATV to its mini line up; the Raptor 90, which is a big economical value for consumers who cannot afford to continuously upgrade to accommodate growing skill levels.

The all-new Raptor 90 was designed after its full sized sibling, the Raptor 700 and will be taking the place of the Raptor 80. The Raptor 90 has many features that young riders and parents will find very impressive. It has a fully automatic CVT transmission, and is powered by an 88cc air-cooled engine. It has integrated full floorboards for added safety. It also comes equipped with low profile rear Maxxis tires that allow for plenty of traction and stability.

The front suspension of the Raptor 90 comes with a dual A-arm design however; the 5-way pre-load adjustable shocks of the Raptor 90 boast 4.4” of front travel where the Raptor 80 only provided 2.3”. The rear swing-arm suspension set-up is equipped with a 5-way pre-load adjustable shock, just like in front, that has 3.3” of rear suspension travel. The breaking system on the Raptor 90 comes with hydraulic rear disc brakes and in front, it has dual sealed drum brakes.

A key feature of the Raptor 90 is the adjustable CDI rev limiter. It is easy to adjust, so as young rider control improves, the power can be adjusted to accommodate their skill level. In restricted mode, the rev limiter maxes out at 4800 RPM, while unrestricted it revs out up to 8000 RPM’s. The Raptor90 will come in two colors, either standard blue, or white. The white color scheme offers two different choices in graphics kits that should appeal to both boys and girls.
