2012 Yamaha Grizzly 300
2WD Utlity ATV |
Cypress, CA (9/14/2011) - Yamaha
Motor Corp., U.S.A., has announced the all-new
Grizzly 300 2WD utility ATV combining best-in-class
technology with a value price at $4,099. This
new light utility ATV has a smooth and powerful
engine and is the only model in its class with
a fully automatic dual range transmission.
The Grizzly 300 is powered by a 287cc single overhead
cam four stroke engine. Its class-exclusive liquid
cooling provides precise temperature control and
long engine life even in extreme environments.
At the center of its lightweight and durable chassis
is a power plant with a 32mm carburetor that delivers
smooth power.
“This all-new Grizzly 300 is built for the
farmer who needs a durable, dependable light utility
vehicle or rider who wants a fun two-wheel-drive
recreational ATV,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s
ATV and SxS group marketing manager. “Grizzly
styling and reliability combined with all of its
great features make this new 300 the best machine
in its class.”
Feature for feature, the Grizzly 300 easily out
performs any similarly priced competing model.
The durable engine and dual range transmission
offers Hi range for light duty and trail riding
plus Low range for tougher chores and towing.
This bear can pull more than 720 pounds and carry
more than 140 combined pounds on the ATV’s
front and rear racks. It features separate hydraulic
front and rear disc brakes and 22-inch Maxxis®
tires with a rugged lug pattern for optimum traction
and durability.
More than five inches of clearance allows it to
cover rugged ground, and its double wishbone front
suspension system with 5.9 inches of travel and
a rear swingarm with 6.5 inches of travel provide
maximum terrainability. All of this is wrapped
around a reliable, low-maintenance shaft drive.
Creature comforts include a plush seat, push-button
electronic start, water resistant under seat storage
box, and large front and rear fenders with full
floorboards for mud/splash protection. Under seat
marine grade electrical components ensure protection
from the elements, and the 2.8 gallon fuel tank
provides ample range for chores or trail rides.
The all new Grizzly 300 will be available in December
2011 and comes in Steel Blue and Hunter Green.
