Conveniences for all occupants include
eight cup holders throughout the cab, a sealed
storage container under the center front seat,

Complementing cab comfort is the ride itself,
which is smooth and predictable with an extended
wheelbase that helps smooth out bumps, optimized
all-wheel independent suspension with 8.1 inches
of travel to absorb rough terrain, and strong
and natural feeling hydraulic disc brakes all
around that provide solid and secure stopping
power.

Viking VI Terrain-ability & Class-leading
Handling
|
Yamaha gets consistently high marks for its 4x4
vehicles’ off-road capabilities and handling in
large part to industry-exclusive and leading technologies
like Ultramatic transmission, On-Command four-wheel
drive and Electric Power Steering (EPS).

The Yamaha Viking VI features an Ultramatic transmission, On-Command four-wheel
drive and optional Electric Power Steering (EPS)
|
Yamaha’s Ultramatic fully-automatic transmission
incorporates a CVT system with centrifugal clutch
that has been proven to be the industry’s most
durable by maintaining constant belt tension
(no slamming belts or jerky transitions). If
maintaining the industry’s best belt life wasn’t
enough, the Ultramatic system also features
a sprag clutch that engages natural-feeling
engine braking, which is a key component when
navigating tight turns and steep hills – especially
with passengers and cargo.
The On-Command system puts the driver in control
of engaging one of three settings: 2WD, 4WD
or 4WD with a fully locked front differential,
simply by turning the rotary dial on the left
side of the dash. Compared to other systems
in the industry, there is no guessing, waiting
or slipping before all four wheels grab terrain
with On-Command.
|
The On-Command system makes it easy to switch from 2WD, 4WD
or 4WD with a fully locked front differential with a turn on of a dial
|
Precise steering no matter the occupancy or
load comes from a number of design and performance
features, and one of the most significant is
Yamaha’s industry-leading Electric Power Steering.
Steering assist from EPS helps lighten the effort
and reduce fatigue especially over long periods
of operation, with heavy loads and in rough
terrain. But Yamaha’s system also provides the
most natural feeling assist with just the right
amount of feedback – no floating or inconsistent
steering feel – due to its specially designed
rack and pinion layout and overall EPS setting.
