• Compact Chassis

• Compact Body, Roomy Ergonomics

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 & Rear Suspension

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.

• High-Mounted Air Intakes

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE features high-mounted air intakes to ensure that water and debris cant get into the drive system or engine air cleaner. These air channels provide plenty of cool, clean air for the engine and ensure that the V-belt remains cool in the toughest working conditions. A reusable foam air filter is accessible without tools for added convenience.

• Aggressive & Durable Styling

Styling cues are borrowed directly from Yamahas industry-leading range of big-bore ATVs, including the uniquely textured, injection-molded fenders which protect against rock and debris damage while remaining good looking season after season.
