I have a 2021 Grizzly EPS, LOVE IT!! All I've done to it was change wheels and put on Zillas. Stayed with 26s didn't go bigger. Put on a winch but I've never had to use it. Put on a Whiskeybent exhaust tip and a 8" light bar under the front rack. Not much but enough for what I use it for which is mostly hunting and trail riding. I also blocked the AIS, that alone really helped cool the exhaust down a bit. I don't need a 1000 Grizzly, the 700 is plenty fast in the woods. It's a tough reliable machine and it's good enough for what i use it for.

ive had both a standard grizzly and a se with the zillas at the same time. not only is the handling sportier, the standard one was also snappier feeling power-wise with less unsprung weight to turn. both featured on my channel

Looking forward to the new build, I loved the old one yahs did and I'm sure this one will be even better. Hard to beat the Grizzly as an all around machine, perfect trail ride ATV, which is why I bought a second one when my 2008 was getting up there in km's. thanks for the video !

I've ridden with a few of these - super smooth machines. Interesting anecdote is on a deep snow ride on identical tires a Can-am 570 base model walked circles around a very stuck prone Griz - they really don't seem to work well in the snow even with the locking diff.

Based off previous years, many times Yamaha announces their new atv lineup toward the end of July/Beginning of August so we are right around that time. You think this could be the year they surprise us with an larger ATV? I would pre order it immediately. FYI I love my 2020 Grizzly 700!

@jaridlarson57442 ай бұрын
I’ve had both. The 686 is a little snappier. Also the 708 isn’t reliable. I’ve seen many wolverines with this motor with a bad rod bearing. I might be wrong but it’s Subaru built and not Yamaha.

I had a 708 and it was fine, but Yamaha moved away from the 708 pretty quickly and actually went back to the 686, which is a reliable and decent mid-bore engine. Like I said in this review, engagement is pretty snappy and mid range is perfect for all day trail riding.
