Key Features:
Designed for kids 12 years or older under adult supervision, the Grizzly 80 comes complete with big Grizzly-style, four-stroke power and performance and legendary Yamaha quality.
Class-exclusive shaft drive is virtually maintenance-free and superior to the chain drive found on some competitive models (includes 70-90cc ATVs).
Easy, pushbutton start in any gear makes it a snap to get going.
Wide, cushy seat and easy-to-reach handlebars ensure superb, all-day comfort and minimize fatigue.
Steel rear cargo rack carries plenty of gear and matches tough grab bar up front.
Rugged, wide fenders with integrated floorboards provide outstanding splash protection and a dry, comfortable ride.
Engine:
Tough, 79cc air-cooled SOHC single puts out smooth, reliable four-stroke power — perfect for riders starting to hone their ATV skills.
Air intake restrictor plate can be removed for increased power as rider’s skill level increases.
Adjustable throttle limiter allows the adult supervisor to match the engine’s power output to the rider’s skill level.
Three-speed transmission with automatic clutch makes shifting a cinch, and lets entry-level riders focus on the trail.
Rugged muffler with USFS-approved spark arrestor for quiet operation.
Automatic cam chain tensioner helps reduce need for engine maintenance and extends engine life.
Chassis/Suspension:
Class-longest wheelbase at 40.6 inches, means roomier ergonomics which accommodates a wide range of rider sizes.
Fully sealed front and rear drum brakes keep out water and debris providing strong, reliable stopping power.
Leading-arm front suspension with 2.3 inches of travel smoothes out the trail for a plush, confidence-inspiring ride and more responsive steering.
Swingarm rear and single shock provide 2.2 inches of rear wheel travel for smooth, bump-absorbing performance.
Low, 26.2-inch seat height for quick, balanced steering and great rider comfort and confidence.
3.9 inches of ground clearance.
Beefy 18x7-7 front and 18x8-7 rear knobby tires offer excellent traction and help boost ground clearance.
Additional Features:
Big Grizzly-style bodywork means Grizzly 80’s looks are as tough as the rest of the package.
YZ-style grips add extra comfort and a sporty finish.
Large, class-leading fuel capacity — 1.8 gallons — increases range, which means fewer fill-ups and more fun out on the trail.
Handlebar-mounted parking brake.
