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.
