Yamaha Motor Australia has released a special edition version of its popular 4WD automatic Grizzly utility ATV.

The 2006 special edition gets all-new lightweight aluminium wheels, gun metal with red trim colour scheme, trick graphics and carbon fibre style side covers. This new look combines with the powerful 660cc five valve, four-stroke engine and fully automatic Ultramatic™ transmission with industry-exclusive push button 4WD/2WD and 4WD diff lock to produce one of the most capable and refined utility vehicles on the market.

Fully independent long travel suspension means the 2006 model Grizzly hugs the terrain and keeps the rider in control, while large diameter hydraulic front discs and a shaft mounted disc rear brake bring matters to a stop efficiently.

A lightweight yet super-strong CAD-designed steel frame helps produce the lightest ATV in its class at 272kg, which in turn results in outstanding handling and performance.

Add to this a trick digital instrument panel boasting a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and fuel gauge and you have the most desirable ATV on the market.

Yamaha’s special edition 2006 Grizzly retails for $12,849, the same price it was in 2005. There’s never been a better time to buy Yamaha’s top-of-the-range utility ATV.
