Key Features:
Grizzly 450 Automatic 4x4 has many of the same great features as big brothers Grizzly 700 and 550, including four-wheel independent suspension, and it’s powered by a fuel-efficient, liquid-cooled engine.
Industry-exclusive, fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced drive system in ATVs. 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.
Three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature 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.
Fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension features double-wishbone suspension front and rear.
Ground clearance of 10.8 inches and a composite plastic skidplate provide terrainability and undercarriage protection.
Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position and clock.
Rear wet brake is a multi-disc system running in gear oil inside a sealed unit. This keeps out the elements (such as mud and water) while providing powerful, consistent stopping power and greatly reduced maintenance.
Engine:
421cc liquid-cooled, SOHC four-stroke single is rugged and powerful.
Semi-oval slide 33mm BSR Mikuni® carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition deliver fantastic throttle response and engine performance at all rpm.

Compact engine design features a 45-degree cylinder angle for maximum ground clearance and lower seat height for quick, responsive steering and agility.
Gear-driven crankshaft balancer and rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration.
Specially designed drive system air intake vent helps prevent overheating and keeps water and mud from entering drive case.
Tool-free air filter box for easy access and quick maintenance.
Chassis/Suspension:
Lightweight chassis features outstanding durability with superior rigidity for class-leading agility and handling.
Light steering and a class-leading turning radius combine for increased comfort and incredible maneuverability—even in 4WD.
Fully independent four-wheel suspension features a double wishbone suspension front and rear delivering 6.3 inches and 7.1 inches of travel.
Using a newly-designed multi-disc system running in gear oil, the sealed rear wet brake combines strong, consistent stopping power and greatly reduced maintenance requirements.
Large-diameter ventilated hydraulic front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power in a variety of conditions.
Direct front shaft drive eliminates U-joint for greater durability and more efficient power transfer when engaged in 4WD.
Heavy-duty composite front carry bar and CV joint guards help prevent damage to boot covers and won’t dent or rust.

ReplyDeleteWoah! This would be number one on my birthday wish list! My dad bought me one in 2004 and its still functional today. I always make sure that I get it checked every time I use it to avoid its parts deteriorating because of dirt and mud. Maybe when I save up enough money, I’ll ask my dad to lend me extra, so I could buy one of these off road beasts.
