New 2022 Yamaha Kodiak 450

This Special Edition model combines unmatched styling and features with classic Kodiak value, reliability and durability.

• Ultramatic® and On-Command®

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE brings Yamaha’s renowned combination of the industry’s most durable automatic transmission—Ultramatic®—with the rider-centric control and traction of On-Command® selectable 4WD. The result is outstanding capability with the confidence to get you through the most challenging terrain and back again.

• Terrainability

With standard full-length skid plates, nearly 10 inches of ground clearance and independent double wishbone suspension with adjustable shocks, the Kodiak 450 EPS SE is ready to tackle rough terrain without breaking a sweat—and with the sort of rider comfort that makes long rides a blast too.

• Terrain-Tackling Ground Clearance

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE 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 (EPS) provides the industry’s best balance of steering assist and positive feedback by adjusting to match terrain conditions in real time.

• Compact Chassis

For precise handling and a confidence-inspiring ride in a variety of terrain conditions, Yamaha built the Kodiak 450 EPS SE with a compact body design that is significantly less bulky than competitive models.

• Compact Body, Roomy Ergonomics

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE 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, and large textured floorboards, every aspect of the Kodiak 450 EPS SE was designed to bring class-leading levels of refinement to the middleweight 4x4 ATV segment.

• Rubber Engine Mounts

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE 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.

• Independent Front and Rear Suspension

The independent double wishbone suspension offers an optimized vehicle stance, light steering and an improved feeling from the shocks across the entire range of travel. With 6.7 inches of front wheel travel and 7.4 inches at the rear, the Kodiak 450 EPS SE provides excellent rider comfort even in the roughest terrain.
