New Special Edition Wolverine X4, Grizzly and Kodiak Join Yamaha’s Proven Off-Road Lineup


KENNESAW, Ga., Sept. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, is adding more new and Special Edition (SE) models to its ATV and Side-by-Side (SxS) lineup for the 2019 model year. The new models being announced today include:

  • All-new 2019 Grizzly 90 youth ATV, bringing the Proven Off-Road style and performance from the big-bore Grizzly ATV to the next generation of trail riders.
  • New 2019 Grizzly SE in Tactical Black with a pre-installed WARN Winch.
  • 2019 Tactical Black Kodiak 700 SE.
  • 2019 Tactical Black Wolverine X4 SE.

“Yamaha’s Proven Off-Road ATV and Side-by-Side vehicle lineup continues to expand, providing more opportunities for a diverse market of off-road enthusiasts to realize their adventures with family and friends,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV / SxS group marketing manager. “More categories, more special edition models, and more features are what our customers and our dealers are requesting, and that’s what we’re delivering.”

All-new for 2019, the Grizzly 90 combines the Proven Off-Road performance and versatility of its namesake with a fun and confidence-inspiring 90cc engine and CVT transmission for entry-level riders 10-years-old and up to develop their off-road abilities. The youth model offers several Grizzly DNA features including mud-protection fenders, trail-pointed comfort suspension, front and rear cargo racks, and new Grizzly-tread tires. Parents can feel confident introducing their first-time rider to the excitement of ATV riding with an electronic speed limiter and adjustable throttle stop. The Grizzly 90 also gives new riders the capability and comfort to grow and adjust for years to come with a large plush seat and open floorboards. The New Grizzly 90 is available at a $2,999 MSRP.

Also joining the Grizzly family is a second big-bore SE model featuring Tactical Black painted bodywork and a pre-installed WARN Winch. With Yamaha-exclusive 27-inch Maxxis ‘Zilla tires, new 14-inch two-tone cast aluminum wheels, and a wider track width, the big-bore Grizzly boasts an award-winning and reliable 700cc-class engine tuned for dynamic recreational riding on the most demanding trails. It combines smooth, responsive, and quick-revving power with increased mid-range and improved acceleration. Producing less noise and vibration, the 2019 Grizzly delivers a sportier riding experience than ever. The new Grizzly SE is available at a $10,999 MSRP.

A new Tactical Black Kodiak 700 SE is also included in the 2019 fall lineup. The Kodiak 700 SE is built for both work and play providing a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride. Powered by Yamaha’s legendary 700-class single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, the 2019 Kodiak 700 SE is built Real World Tough with cast-aluminum wheels, more than 1,300 pounds of towing capacity, 110-pound front rack capacity, and 198-pound rear rack capacity for a work-ready design and capability. The new Tactical Black Kodiak 700 SE is available at a $9,299 MSRP.

Lastly, a new Tactical Black Wolverine X4 SE joins the 2019 lineup, matching the current Tactical Black Wolverine X2 SE. The 2019 Wolverine X4 delivers superior handling, especially on tight, technical trails, combined with legendary Real World Tough durability and reliability. The smooth, ultra-quiet power comes from a 847-cc twin cylinder engine, while a compact, nimble chassis cradles the most versatile cab in its class with industry-exclusive stow-away full-size rear seats for expanded cargo capacity when needed. The Tactical Black Wolverine X4 SE model also features a color-matched interior and shock springs, starting at a $17,249 MSRP.
