The Yamaha Grizzly has great stopping power with hydraulic disc brakes on all four wheels, and we really like that you can control your front and rear brakes independently with the handlebar mounted levers because there are situations when you may only want to engage your front or rear brakes and this is possible with the Yamaha Grizzly. The Grizzly also has the standard foot operated brake lever.

New
Maxxis Tires were added on the 2014 Yamaha
Grizzly 700 |
The 2014 Yamaha Grizzly 700 comes with new Maxxis tires, which worked great. We had no flats at all during our test ride and the tires provided good traction in the rocky soil. The Grizzly also has a new wheel design for 2014 with an inside curled edge. Previously, the wheel edge was curled to the outside, and it would collect dirt and water, which made it difficult to keep your wheels clean, but the new design will prevent mud and water from being held and slung out gradually while riding.
The ergonomics of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 are
very comfortable even on longer rides. We never
felt tired or uncomfortable while out on our
test ride. Additionally, we liked the instrument
panel that includes a multifunction LCD screen
with speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter,
hour meter, 4WD indicator, transmission position,
clock, and fuel indicator.

The Yamaha Grizzly 700 comes in hunter green,
red, blue, Realtree Camo and a blacked out special
edition model. All models of the Grizzly come
with rugged steel cargo racks that can handle
99 lbs. up front and 187 lbs. in the rear and
the Yamaha Grizzly features a towing capacity
of 1322 pounds. As always, Yamaha also has a
wide selection of accessories with over 100
available for the Grizzly to customize it and
make it your own.
Overall, we really like the improvements that
Yamaha has made to the 2014 Grizzly 700 and
are happy to see them keeping the Grizzly line
current. We found this machine predictable,
easy to handle and maneuverable. It is a durable
and well-made utility ATV that has plenty of
power and is comfortable to ride, which makes
it perfect for either work or play.
