2009 Grizzly's are now available in Black
Metallic |
The Grizzly 700, the flag ship and inspiration
for the new Grizzly 550 FI has undergone a few
changes for the 2009 season as well. The Grizzly
700 still incorporates its electric power steering
along with a powerful 686cc motor, which brings
unmatched performance from a full-sized utility
ATV.
The Grizzly 700 uses “Wide Arc”
suspension, which makes it a full 5 inches wider
and offers more stability all around and gives
more usable ground clearance. The lower shock
mount locations also help provide stability
and improved handling.

The
Grizzly 700's "Wide Arc" front
A-Arms provide a more usable ground clearance
with the shocks mounted to the lower A-arms
front & rear for better handling |
The
A-Arm guards have been updated for 2009
on the Grizzly models and stronger polyethylene
CV boot material is used as well for greater
durability |
Yamaha also listened to consumers and redesigned
the thumb throttle. The lever is now more ergonomically
correct to allow for more control, better feel,
and less fatigue. The 2009 model still includes
the handlebar mounted “On-Command”
push button 2wd/4wd/diff lock, which is easy
to use, and even with the differential lock
engaged, the electric power steering makes for
easy steering and control.

For
2009, the thumb throttle has been reshaped
for improved feel & less fatigue on
long rides |
Improved
left hand gate style shifter with new
ratio's for easier engagement & operation |
The 2009 Grizzly 700 will also be featured
in the standard dark green and the new eye-catching
metallic black. The grizzly also comes with
what seems to be endless amounts of add-on’s
and Genuine Yamaha accessories that are equipped
with Yamaha’s “SecureMount”
system. With all the effort put behind this
machine, it’s no wonder why it is the
#1 selling big bore utility ATV.
