New Yamaha ATV its Prestigious Outdoors Honor
Cypress, CA (8/18/2010)
- Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., has received
Field & Stream magazine's "Best of the
Best" award for the new 2011 Grizzly 450
with Electric Power Steering (EPS). The 2010 recognition
gives Yamaha a clean sweep for its power steering
models - the 2007 Grizzly 700 EPS, 2009 Grizzly
550 EPS and now 2011 Grizzly 450 EPS have all
been named "Best of the Best" since
Yamaha introduced power steering to the ATV world
in 2006.
According to Field & Stream: The Best of
the Best judging criteria include
the significance of the innovation, the quality
of the design, and the
value it brings to hunters. Criteria varied, depending
upon the category,
but all of the winning products shared one quality:
excellence in their
field. The Grizzly 450 EPS will be featured in
the September 2010 issue of
Field & Stream.
"The 'Best of the Best' is one of the outdoor
industry's biggest awards,
and Yamaha is proud to be a four-time winner including
all of our top
utility ATVs and the Rhino 700 Side-by-Side vehicle,"
said Steve Nessl,
Yamaha's marketing manager. "Outdoorsmen
use these machines for scouting,
hauling, food plotting and various other challenging
hunting situations.
Whether we are talking about the mid-size or big
bore class, the Grizzly
line's off-road capabilities and reputation for
durability and reliability
make these vehicles stand out for customers who
collect the best gear."
The new Yamaha Grizzly 450 EPS comes with Yamaha's
industry-leading
electric power steering, a new one-piece frame
and an all-new rear sealed
wet brake. It also incorporates Yamaha's Ultramatic(r)
automatic
transmission with CVT clutch system, On-Command(r)
2WD, 4WD and 4WD with full diff-lock, and four-wheel
