Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, announces the all-new 2016 Kodiak 700 line of 4x4 utility ATVs including the Kodiak 700, Kodiak 700 EPS and Special Edition (SE) Kodiak 700 EPS, all boasting class-leading performance and value for the hard-working utility ATV customer.
The all-new Kodiak 700 ATVs are built for work with a comfortable and compact feeling new chassis. New styling, smooth power and increased torque from the new DOHC 708cc engine create the foundation for a range of features that all combine to make the Kodiak 700 ATVs the most powerful in their pricing categories, while maintaining Yamaha’s legendary durability and off-road performance.
The Kodiak 700 is equipped with Yamaha’s proven Ultramatic® fully automatic transmission with high, low, reverse and neutral, providing the industry’s most durable CVT transmission and the most natural-feeling engine braking throughout the rpm range.
The new Kodiak 700 also incorporates a 4.76-gallon fuel tank for all day working, a standard 12V DC outlet for powering accessories, independent suspension with 7.1 inches of travel in the front and 9.1 inches of travel in the back, twenty five inch wheels and Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis tires for a high level of durability, traction, comfort and steering precision.
Boasting new large and durable front and rear racks with increased load capacity – 110 pounds in front and 198 pounds in back – as well as a newly designed center storage compartment, the Kodiak 700 allows riders to carry more personal items safely and securely.
Hydraulic disc brakes up front and a new durable sealed wet brake in back provide strong and reliable stopping power. Nearly 11 inches of ground clearance on the Kodiak 700 and a 49.2-inch wheelbase provide the best combination of comfort and terrainability in working situations, and front to back skid plates increase overall off-road capability.
The Kodiak 700 is available in Special Edition Carbon Metallic, Realtree Xtra, Hunter Green, Steel Blue and Red for Electric Power Steering (EPS) models and Realtree Xtra, Hunter Green and Red for non-EPS models. MSRP for non-EPS starts at $6,999 and EPS starts at $8,199.
Every Yamaha Kodiak 700 is assembled in the USA at Yamaha’s factory in Newnan, Georgia, for worldwide distribution.
