2010 Yamaha ATV Models Announced - New YFZ450X Sport ATV
Proven, Class-Leading Performance Remains Focus of Yamaha Utility & Sport ATVs

Cypress, CA (9/8/2010) - Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., today announced the full 2010 model year ATV product line including a new sport ATV designed specifically with the trail rider in mind, the YFZ450X. In total Yamaha will produce 17 ATV models for 2010 including the class-leading, best-selling models from its Grizzly utility line and Raptor and YFZ sport lines.

2010 Yamaha Sport ATV Lineup:
The new YFZ450X is new to Yamaha’s line of top performing sport ATVs and replaces the original YFZ450 as the best new ATV for tight, technical woods and trail riding. This new trail machine is 46.1 inches wide (versus the MX track width YFZ450R introduced last fall) with optimized suspension, fuel injection, and Yamaha’s exclusive cast aluminum-steel hybrid frame. The light and nimble 450X is designed to carve through tight trails, over tree roots, rocks and almost anything else riders might encounter on a tough GNCC course or weekend trail ride. Both the new YFZ450X and YZ450R feature the powerful 5-valve DOHC liquid cooled single cylinder 449cc engine and highest sport ATV performance technologies available.

The Raptor legacy continues in 2010 with four models providing a range of size and performance: the Raptor 700R (all around best selling sport ATV*), the Raptor 350, the Raptor 250 (best selling 250-class sport ATV*), and Raptor 90.

Bridging the gap between pure sport ATV action and utility ATV capability is the Wolverine 450 4x4. The Wolverine is one of the most popular sport utility ATVs offering riders a nimble off-road machine with a sporty feel and push-button 4x4 capabilities.

2010 Yamaha Utility ATV Lineup:
Yamaha’s Grizzly 700 FI EPS, which introduced the first ever Electric Power Steering (EPS) on an ATV, continues to be the best selling big bore utility ATV.* This leading utility machine has won numerous awards and shoot-out comparisons with leading features like Yamaha Fuel Injection, Ultramatic transmission and On Command 2WD/4WD/4WD with diff lock – all set atop a comfortable ride with fully independent suspension. The Grizzly 700 FI was the platform for the Grizzly 550 FI EPS introduced last year, which quickly became the best-selling 550-class utility ATV*. Other popular models in the Grizzly line include the Grizzly 700 FI (non-EPS), Grizzly 550 FI (non-EPS), Grizzly 450 4x4 IRS, Grizzly 350 4x4 IRS, Grizzly 350 4x4, Grizzly 350 2WD and Grizzly 125.
