2024 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS Stock ATV Review Before Its Custom Overhaul!

[@anthonybrown1823]

They need a 1000 now it’s time or a 850 it time !!!!!!!

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

100% yes they do!

[@dirttraxtv]

💯

[@David69278]

Yamaha is behind

[@1kukini]

Give it a transmission similar to the YXZ1000 as well.

[@anthonybrown1823]

Keep the 700 but ad a new 850 or 1k

[@SuperDave-pe1zw]

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.

[@nathanhuelett9829]

The Yamaha also has the best reliability out of all the brands.

[@dirttraxtv]

I can agree with that.

[@powersportsenthusiast1986]

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

[@cjk247]

i did read somewhere that Yamaha will be sticking a 1000cc engine in the grizzly. Read it was the motor out of one of wolverine models! maybe that for the 2025 grizzly

[@JoshuaOverman]

See you in 10 years for another Yamaha grizzly 686 review but in a different new color. 👍🏻

[@jaydawg4065]

Still love my 08 Grizzly 700!!!!

[@jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686]

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!

[@dirttraxtv]

Oh man, I hope so!!! At least an 850!!! Fingers crossed 🤞

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

Brute force has more horsepower. So does King Quad. Lol

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

Absolutely phenomenal machines! I just wish they’d get off their asses and do a big bore twin!

[@dirttraxtv]

They've got an 850 and 1000 engine but not in this machine unfortunately.

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

@@dirttraxtvI know which makes it even more frustrating that they refuse to get with the times and drop a twin grizzly.

[@Matts000]

Nice machine for sure, but I greatly prefer the V twin punch from my brute.

[@Maritimer]

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 !

[@dirttraxtv]

Thank you! Agree with you one hundred percent. Grizzly is an awesome machine that you can keep around for years and still enjoy it.

[@billz410]

Let's get with it man and get that build going!!!!

[@fromontario6954]

Can am HD7 pro edition is more value for less money.

[@JustinLenox-p7p]

Yes it is the can am puts power down better more features and for less money I looked at buying the can am over the grizzly but bought the grizzly in the end for the proven reliability not saying the can am won't hold up but just not proven yet

[@dirttraxtv]

@@JustinLenox-p7p I actually loved the Outlander Pro we had. Great machine, loaded with features and actually rode nicer than the Grizzly. I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but completely respect your logic here. Proven is proven.

[@paulbane5655]

I couldn't find one at my dealership. They only had the SE Model Grizzly. Ended up going for a 2022 Raptor 700.

[@dirttraxtv]

I'd buy a Raptor today if I had the chance. Awesome machine. Tons of fun and great value.

[@Americanmafia1]

Can't wait for the new build

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

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.

[@dirttraxtv]

Interesting!

[@danlux4954]

I loved my 2016 Grizzly but I needed a longer wheelbase.

[@dirttraxtv]

Long wheelbase 2-upper Grizzly, a dedicated mud Grizzly with snorkels and a pure sport Grizzly - all featuring at least the 850 twin. This would be awesome.

[@nortonashburn5677]

hey Mike good review! im on my 3rd grizz with a 2023 camo and just traded my 2019 wolverine x2camo for a 2024 wolverine x2 1000se. love Yamaha!

[@dirttraxtv]

Awesome and thanks for the kind words! Both of those units are really good choices! Love that Wolverine 1000 SE!!

[@nortonashburn5677]

[@qapsukalek]

Hello 1000 twin that we've been waiting for

[@budbundy5021]

Or even a 2 passenger grizzly!

[@feelnrite]

I had a 660 and liked it but that dude could suck gas.

[@dirttraxtv]

Gas is expensive!!

[@mwinner101]

I’d settle for the Kodiak 450 eps se.

[@mikeruffo6462]

Hows the power between the 708 and the 686?

[@jaridlarson5744]

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.

[@joeellis2692]

​@jaridlarson5744 is not wrong. I had a 2016 Grizzly 708cc nothing but problems.

[@dirttraxtv]

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.

[@jaydawg4065]

@@mikeruffo6462 the 686 is like a Ford 302 or 351 or a Chevy 350. Very very reliable.

[@mikeruffo6462]

@@dirttraxtv was curious as I have an '18 with the 708. No issues with it.

[@dannymacdonnell251]

What ply tire are those stocks?

probably 6
