For best performance, 2WD is practical for general use, rear wheel drive being the most efficient use of the power. But obviously, there are times when the extra grunt of 4WD is needed. The Grizzly can be switched from two to four wheel drive with a push of a button. This engages the drive to the front wheels through a differential to allow four wheel drive with uncompromising the steering.
Of course, when you are faced with a real challenge, the ability to focus all of your ATV's considerable power into a unified effort is a handy feature to have. Yamaha have built this trick into the Grizzly with a one button diff lock. Going over the most difficult of conditions this gives you unparalleled pulling power, locking the front differential may eliminate slip and deliver the maximum traction from the ATV. The diff lock on the Grizzly also causes the engine rev limiter to automatically cut in, giving you full control over the ATV. Obviously the diff lock controls are located under a safety guard so you don't accidentally engage it during normal use. |
