2025 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:

• Terrain-Tackling Ground Clearance

The 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 (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 with a compact body design that is significantly less bulky than competitive models.

• Compact Body, Roomy Ergonomics

The 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, and large textured floorboards, 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

The 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.

• Independent Front & 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 provides excellent rider comfort even in the roughest terrain.

• 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 wear, and a sprag clutch provides Yamaha's renowned all-wheel engine braking.

• High-Mounted Air Intakes

The 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. 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.

• Marine-Grade Electrical System

Yamaha ATVs feature marine-grade waterproof connectors for maximum weather-proofing, increased durability and improved serviceability.
