Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS SE Quad Bike 2024
The Special Edition Kodiak 450 EPS SE combines unmatched styling with the iconic Kodiak reliability and durability. A truly versatile, mid-sized ATV, this tried and tested utility machine is the ultimate work companion for those who are #DRIVENBYRESULTS.
Yamaha 421 cc EFI engine
The Kodiak 450 EPS SE has the power to conquer the toughest terrain thanks to its 421 cc single cylinder liquid cooled engine that produces plenty of smooth torque at low revs. Its Electronic Fuel Injection system ensures easy starting in hot or cold conditions at a range of altitudes, giving reliable and economical performance wherever you go.
25-inch tyres with wide tread width & Alu wheels
So that you can find the optimum traction even on the most challenging terrain the Kodiak 450 SE is fitted with specially developed front and rear tyres mounted on light weight Aluminium wheels. Featuring an all-terrain tread pattern, the extra-wide AT25x8-12 front tyres and the AT25x10-12 rear tyres find extra grip whether you’re riding across mud, snow and rock

Long-stroke KYB gas charged front and rear shocks
The developed all-round independent double wishbone suspension gives 171mm front wheel travel and 189mm rear wheel travel, helping to make light work of extreme terrain. And with their ability to soak up bumps, ruts and other obstacles, the KYB gas-charged shocks system with preload adjustable springs deliver all day riding comfort.

On-Command® 2WD/4WD/Diff-lock
The Kodiak 450 EPS SE models are fitted with an easy to operate On-Command® system with 2WD/4WD and 4WD with Diff Lock for full control and for quick and effective switching between 2WD and 4WD, or even full diff-lock allowing you to choose the right option to suit the terrain and surface conditions.
The Kodiak 450 EPS SE model is equipped with Yamaha’s highly acclaimed Electronic Power Steering (EPS) that is specially designed to give you the best balance of rider assist combined with a natural and positive feel. And for additional illumination, the EPS model features a powerful halogen handlebar-mounted high beam headlight.
