2014 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS 4x4:
From Yamaha website with my comments added
in bold type:
The Grizzly 700 FI 4x4 EPS, with its powerful 686cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC power plant, produces more power with enhanced engine settings to improve low end, mid-range and top end engine performance.
Punch it from a standing start but make sure you are holding on, this beast flat out gets it.
The front and rear A-arms are long while suspension stroke on both the front and rear shocks is also increased. These adjustments greatly enhance low speed rider comfort without sacrificing any of the legendary Grizzly handling.
My Grizz handles great and the ride is outstanding. The seat is the most comfortable of all the ATV's I sat on when I bought mine this year. The independent rear suspension was a big plus for me vs. straight axle.
Three-position On-Command® 4WD sytem lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a button. Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff. Lock mode.
This was a major selling point for me. The locking differentials are unbelievable, this think could climb a wall.
Ultramatic® transmission with dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse is the most advanced drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and uses a sprag clutch for all-wheel downhill engine braking in 4WD mode and reverse.
The downhill breaking was another big selling point for me. When in 4x4, just let off the gas and the engine slows you down which should save on brake wear and overheating the brakes.
Yamaha Electric Power Steering provides progressive assist at slow speeds and over rough terrain while maintaining optimized rider feedback, superior comfort and terrainability.
This really works well and reduces arm fatigue immensely.
Advanced digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and fuel gauge.
Assembled Real World Tough in Newnan, GA, U.S.A.
Another big selling point for me, keep America working!
