2020 Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS

This Proven Off-Road ATV packs superior capability, comfort and confidence into the best-performing mid-size ATV you can buy.

Features may include:

• Generous Ground Clearance

Kodiak 450 EPS offers 9.6 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skid plates to deliver maximum underbelly protection for a wide variety of terrain.

• Class-Leading Power Steering

Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering provides the industry’s best balance of steering assist and positive feedback by checking gear position, 4WD mode and speed to match terrain conditions in real time.

• Compact Body, Roomy Ergonomics

Kodiak 450 EPS offers a riding position with the same roomy feel as the larger Kodiak 700. With tall handlebars, a seat that is long and plush for improved rider comfort for extended work days, large textured floorboards, and an oversized thumb throttle, every aspect of the Kodiak 450 EPS was designed to bring class-leading levels of refinement to the middleweight 4x4 ATV segment.

• Rubber Engine Mounts

Kodiak 450 EPS features specifically developed rubber engine mounts that isolate vibrations from the engine bay and give the rider one of the smoothest rides ever offered in a utility ATV.

• Ultramatic Durability

Yamaha’s Ultramatic system earns its place as the most reliable transmission in the market. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and a sprag clutch provides Yamaha’s renowned all-wheel engine braking.

• High-Mounted Air Intakes

Kodiak 450 EPS features high-mounted air intakes to ensure that water and debris can’t get into the drive system or engine air cleaner, with a reusable foam air filter for the engine side that is accessible without tools. These air channels provide plenty of cool, clean air for the engine and ensure that the V-belt remains cool in the toughest of working conditions.
