The all-new Grizzly 700 will continue to reign supreme as it ups the ante with updates and never before seen ATV technology added to its already perfect pedigree.
The Yamaha Electric Power Steering system is unparallel in the industry. The system allows the rider to tackle the most gnarly, toughest terrain with the least amount of effort, rider fatigue and superior comfort. As the rider turns the handlebars the electric motor kicks in and assists in the turn. The harder you turn, the more the EPS assist. The torque-sensing EPS system senses the twisting force put on the handlebars and wheels at which point the electric motor jumps in to do its thing. Best part is, not only does the EPS offer light steering effort, but it also absorbs the kickback that would usually be transferred to the rider if you were to hit a log or rock unexpectedly.
The new Grizzly 700 powerplant moves from 660cc to 686cc, and is adapted from Yamaha’s leading sport ATV, the Raptor 700R, which gives the Grizzly a sportier, fun ride even with the engine tuned for true utility use. Of course, those extra 26cc also mean additional power throughout the entire rev range – most notable is the enhanced low- to mid-range power.
The Yamaha Fuel Injection system (YFI) finds its way to the Grizzly 700 after the spectacular debut it made on the Raptor 700R last year. The YFI improves throttle response throughout the powerband, helping the rider take advantage of that improved low- to mid-range power. YFI offers unmatched performance at high elevation as the system is able to detect and compensate for changes in altitude. The more precise fuel delivery offered by the YFI means clean power delivery, better throttle response and improved fuel economy under a multitude of riding situations. In addition, YFI means no choke and easier cold starting, which is great for those early morning hunts or chores around the farm.
First off is the relocated air box, which moves from under the seat to the top of the engine. This change means easier access and service for the rider and the higher intake location will be much appreciated by those riders that are fond of deep water crossings. The fuel tank has also been relocated and is now found mostly under the seat as part of the mass centralization and to lower CG. The new fuel tank features a ratchet-type cap for improved quality feel.
The Grizzly 700 also features all-new ground-grabbing meats mounted to aluminum wheels to get you moving. The all-new Dunlop tires feature a new tread pattern, exclusive to Yamaha for improved traction and rider comfort.
On the side of comfort and durability, we find the Grizzly 700 boasting a 32mm thicker seat and redesigned, larger floorboards for even more protection from the elements. The new design of the floorboards also allow for better drainage of mud and water. Two storage boxes – a redesigned under seat box and an all-new box found in the right front fender offer plenty of storage in a sealed, waterproof and water resistant space. This is of course in addition to the 99 lbs. and 187 lbs. of carry capacity on the front and rear racks, respectively and the 1,212 lbs. of towing. And, a new SecureMount rack system has been developed to offer superior fit and finish with Genuine Yamaha Accessories, which were designed in tandem with the rack system.
The all-new 2007 Grizzly 700 4x4 is available in Hunter Green, Steel Blue, Red and Realtree Hardwoods High Definition Camo at Yamaha dealerships nationwide beginning June 2006.
