2023 Yamaha Grizzly EPS SE Features & Benefits
CAPABILITY
High Performance Ultramatic® Transmission: Grizzly EPS SE’s Ultramatic® transmission features a gated shifter, dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive plus reverse gear, and the industry’s most advanced—and durable—CVT drive system. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced wear, and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking.
Exciting Big-Bore Engine: For the trail rider looking for excitement in every ride, the ideal engine should balance strong big-bore power with immediate, responsive midrange. The Grizzly EPS SE features a potent 686cc engine with power delivery, torque and engine character all optimized for recreational riding.
Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command® 4WD: The three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD, all with the simple push of a button. An override button allows the engine to reach maximum rpm in full differential lock mode.
High-Mounted Air Intake: Tackle mud and water with confidence thanks to the Grizzly EPS SE’s high-mounted air intake layout. The design increases power and torque while providing additional room for on-board storage and easy, toolless servicing of the foam air filter.
Stainless Steel Exhaust: To maintain clean-running performance for years, the Grizzly EPS SE uses a stainless steel exhaust system and features a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
High-Capacity Radiator: Slow-speed technical riding can place a lot of thermal demands on a liquid-cooled motor, so the Grizzly EPS SE features a high-capacity radiator that delivers plenty of air flow for maximum cooling efficiency, positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
Drive System Air Intake: A high-mounted drive system air intake helps reduce drive system temperatures and assists in keeping water and debris from entering the drive case.
Four-Wheel Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Powerful and consistent braking comes standard on every Grizzly EPS SE thanks to four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes with unmatched braking feel.
Terrain-Tackling Ground Clearance: To handle nearly any terrain with ease, the Grizzly EPS SE offers an impressive 11.8-inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skid plates for maximum underbelly protection.
Adventure Pro-Ready: The Grizzly EPS SE comes pre-wired for Yamaha’s exclusive Adventure Pro® GPS system, unlocking the next level of trail-ready navigation. This state-of-the-art GPS unit combines a range of functions into a single, rugged 7-inch full-color display. Search, download, record and share trail routes with friends. Yamaha’s uniquely integrated, multifunctional Adventure Pro® system also provides advanced vehicle data with exceptional clarity.
COMFORT
Independent Double Wishbone Front and Rear Suspension: An independent double wishbone suspension with 7.6 inches of front wheel travel and 9.1 inches at the rear, along with nitrogen charged shocks offering 5-way adjustable preload, combine to provide excellent rider comfort on even the most challenging trails.
Class-Leading Power Steering: Minimize fatigue and attack every corner with Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS), the industry’s best balance of electric steering assist and positive trail feedback.
Underseat Fuel Tank: An optimized 4.76-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and improved handling.
Plush Saddle: With plenty of room for the rider to move during riding, the long, plush seat improves rider comfort for extended days exploring any trail.
CONFIDENCE
Special Edition Features: The Special Edition Grizzly EPS further enhances rugged terrain capability and confidence with 27-inch Maxxis® ‘Zilla tires, 14-inch aluminum wheels and high-quality painted bodywork.
Aggressive and Durable Styling: Rugged composite front bumper resists scratching and won’t rust, while injection-molded fenders and CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.
LED Headlights and Taillight: LED technology uses less power, creates brighter, sharper illumination and offers lifetime durability. A handlebar-mounted halogen work light provides additional illumination that moves with rider input for excellent visibility.
Ready for Accessories: A range of accessory options were engineered in concert with the Grizzly EPS SE, offering a variety of performance, convenience, protection and styling enhancements with factory-level fitment and functionality. Comes standard with a 12V power point, so you can keep your devices charged too.
Extensive Cargo Capacity: Rugged, large-diameter steel cargo racks with durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 308 pounds combined (110 lb front, 198 lb rear). Three on-board storage compartments keep things secure.
Work-Ready Tow Capacity: Center-mounted, heavy-duty 2-inch receiver comes standard on Grizzly EPS SE and can tow up to 1,300 pounds.
Built Real World Tough™, Assembled in the USA: As with other Yamaha ATVs and Side-by-Sides, the Grizzly EPS SE is assembled in the USA to meet Yamaha’s exacting standards for durability and reliability.
10-Year-Belt Warranty: The Grizzly EPS SE transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry’s only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
