Raptor with 4-wheel drive. Love that!

[@Slane583]

This looks like the modern day version of the Wolverine 350 Yamaha stopped making back in 2007. Can-Am and Polaris have been making these 4x4 sport quads with the Renegade and Scrambler for so long. It's sad to see Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki still don't have a clue and probably never will.

[@DUNEATV]

Raptor with 4-wheel drive! 🥰

[@derrickbilodeau1435]

I love it. The grizzly is such a great platform.

[@Kennedy3.0]

Great work guys!! Please take note Yamaha!

[@joewaggs70]

Awesome job. I would buy that if I saw it sitting in the showroom.

[@Dreamscythe1]

very cool, id be curious to see an 850 scrambler or renegade, or even a 1000 of each do the same little course and see what kinds of times you get from those stock machines compared to this heavily modified one

[@rickeymyers278]

Giving me modern banshee vibes. What an intro, what a bike. Great build, looks and performs fantastic! Hopefully Yamaha answers the call!

[@larryhouse3776]

Yamaha could really do something with this idea. 100+ HP is simply too much for a quad 95% of the time. I still believe the grizzly with its power output and lighter weight is more of a everyday sweet spot. On the trail especially. 40 ish HPs is nice!

[@MrBossilini]

Once you go V-twin you won’t go back to Yamaha single cylinder, grizzly is still amazing , but Yamaha needs to wake up and realize people want more power .

[@Apalm12]

That’s right the old kawi twin that first came out was kind of like this build and it was ahead of it’s time

[@andrewlachowicz1166]

I got a 23 se in the barn that I never ride. Perfect candidate for this build!

[@ray9880]

Watched the first Yamaha build. Now watching this build both were very very cool. Then started thinking. How cool it would be to do a wolverine 450 build. Based of the kodiak 450eps. Kinda like the 450 wolverine could buy around 2008 or so. This build along with the high mileage Honda Rincon are both great episodes.

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Most awesome!!!

[@dirtsquadatv2714]

I've never been more impressed

[@Rodneysmallengine]

Nice job guys

[@paulbane5655]

Much like 10 or so years ago, what an amazing mod to an iconic ATV. I never contemplated moding a Utility ATV in this way. After seeing this, I want to.

[@dirttraxtv]

@@paulbane5655 Appreciate your comments so much 🙏

[@bertpulaski2492]

If Yamaha released one built close to this, I would seriously consider getting a quad again. I’ve been in sxs’s for probably the last 10-12 years.

[@nberardi103]

It is a pretty neat idea, if you want to "compete" with Renegades and Scramblers, but when you say it rides like a 4WD Raptor, it is because it basically is a 4WD Raptor, adding shaft drive/belt, LOL. I would probably just go ahead and get a Raptor and flick it through the trails if I knew i was gonna get dirty like a sport quad.

[@OHVLife]

Yeah, but getting a raptor does not make for as good a content.

[@MrBossilini]

Your raptor ain’t going where a 4x4 is going 😂😂😂😂 . Just like your old Honda ain’t following a renegade through the mud . Each have purpose , but can’t compare 2wd to 4wd in terms of where you can go with it .

[@RTOutdoors]

That is an awesome build. Looking forward to seeing all the details.

[@randomdewd4837]

guys from Yamaha have to produce it ! what a beast

[@Oatmeal2six]

Love it. Awesome build.

[@Mrguitarmaster18]

Saw this atv on display at the Yamaha booth in Mississauga at the international centre, and it was sooo nice!!

[@dirttraxtv]

@@Mrguitarmaster18 Appreciate that 🙏

[@Brodyturm_Ranger90]

You guys need to do this with the new honda rubicon 700 yes, even though it's still just a rincon and the motor doesn't have as much power as the grizzy but you gotta do it for us honda fans

[@AgeOfGrace2023]

Awesome!!!!

[@jmj267]

Can’t wait for the price breakdown and see more of the aftermarket that you used. I watched every video of this build and you do a great job on this and the Polaris video of the Explorer. I believe it is.

[@cal__van1]

Finally another grizzly race build!!!

[@RunGMCSyclone]

Love it! Please Please Please do a comparison video with the others, Renegade 650/1000 and the Scrambler 850/1000. Obviously there is a bunch of money in this grizzly but it would just be cool to see how they do on a small test track/woods section or just back to back reviews and drag races. I may have missed a video but also what engine mods got done. Raptors can make 60-65hp pretty easy without splitting the case. I would assume 55-60hp in this. It's anywhere from about 40 - 190lbs less weight that the others. Very very cool build, well done

[@mathieusynnott8915]

What keeps Grizzly appart is the nimble, agile feeling. If it could get the HP of the renegade 1000 or scrambler 1000 it would be something completely appart.

[@AndrewSmith-md3fu]

​@@mathieusynnott8915 stroking, head work, big valves, race gas I see no reason why a Raptor700 can make 100hp and a Grizzly couldn't.

[@crazyflyboy30]

I been doing the same thing to a Sportsman XP1000 but it's going to be more of a insane performance sport quad with a 11 lbs carbon fiber body and cut off everything that was not necessary I'm getting close to 700 lbs dry or 750 wet . Also have a gear reduction, custom clutch work ,highly modified air box and RJWC exhaust with the DYNOJET POWER VISION 3 Stage 3 109 HP Stage 3R 113 HP Check it out on Polaris ATV Forum DARK KNIGHT. DRAGY VIDEOS coming soon. 0-60 should be in the 5's.

[@crazyflyboy30]

First DRAGY test video of the Modified Sportsman XP1000 and the name of the video is DARK KNIGHT 60 ft testing stock I did a 60ft in 1.99 seconds and 0-30 in 1.97 seconds.

[@mitchellmullett7613]

That intro was killer!

[@ZacheryDavenport]

What about the patent they just filed for to put the R-max motor in an atv????

[@jongray3797]

Kinda reminds me of the old-school Scrambler 500, which I always thought was an incredibly fun ride.

[@яковмарков-т5я]

идеальный воин среди ренегадов)

[@RichValentine1972]

Impressive ❤

[@jameyg1819]

Well done guys. I love the build so far. I can't wait for more videos on this. Please tell us about the clutch mods and also if you're going to do any engine work at all. Mine ran decently with some of the V-Twins in a straight line. Your's can too.

[@ninefinger2511]

Now Yamaha needs to build a scrambler competitor with the cp2 engine from the motorcycle line.

[@darrylwebb388]

Must be fun AF ! Great build

[@dougcoleburn1579]

I built one just like this. I also have a Renegade 1000xxc. The Grizzly just hooks up all day long and is so much slimmer. Great machine! Expensive to build but worth it!

[@stevejones6802]

Put the MT-09 engine in this Grizz and game over.

[@andrewlachowicz1166]

Now let's do that with a kodiak! Smaller and more nimble!

[@mitchellmullett7613]

Yamaha really needs to put somthing like this together. Between polaris, can am and yamaha, the competition would be outta this world

[@hummyhero1484]

Great job on the build. Do you guys think the Yamaha Wolverine 850 engine could work in the grizzly or would a ground up redesign be needed to make any kind of sense or extreme fabrication and welding measuring lol thanks for any feedback this is something I think a lot of people would like to see

[@Kq750.]

Your favorite fan

[@nickcarlson9620]

If only there was an aftermarket parts company you could work with to make different stage kits of this build you could buy. Like Dennis Kirk or someone like that.I think you guys built a great machine. 👍

[@michaelmartin2912]

That is awesome and everything, but I still want my honda trx450r and ltr450 and banshee

[@chrislobb936]

If you still have the first gen project Grizzly you should put them head to head.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

That is rhe ultimate Yamaha Grizzly right there. Awesome build AJ 🤘🏻

[@markflaugh2293]

Did you happen to weigh it before and after? Or can you weigh it and compare it to advertised weight.

[@dirttraxtv]

@@markflaugh2293 We can weigh it!

[@markflaugh2293]

@ It will be interesting to see how much weight you took off of it.

[@kelynopel1191]

Yamaha should build this as a production unit

[@tiguy225]

The yamaha 700engine has a lit of potential, you see a lot of turbo raptors with huge modifications and they stay reliable, without having too much gadgets, even know maybe renegades and scramblers have more bling bling but i dont trust them at all, i worked at a brp dealership once and god they are a pain in the ass to maintain, im ready to sacrifice a bit of performance and fancy gadgets to keep the peace of mind you have with a yamaha or honda, and also vtwins sounds like harley davidsons wich i dont like at all

[@BigRedGuy]

I hate the sound of Harley Davidsons !!!

[@willysm1505]

is there an other model in the honda or suzuki lineup that would be worthy of this kinf of transformation? It could became a trend. I found it very entertaining to watch!

[@chadfaulkner3600]

I dare you to do this with a cforce 1000.

[@AlgomaOutdoors]

This is my dream Grizzly, if this ever goes up for sale please let me know!

[@rzl07375]

Full test ride review upcoming?

[@ginopietropaolo1017]

Very nice buid guys

[@paulstephenson1310]

Could you do this with a Suzuki Kingquad 750? 🤔

[@TVL2500ls]

Scheiße ist das ein Genieales Gerät ❤ Super Arbeit habt ihr da abgeliefert👍. Sieht einfach Fantastisch aus die Maschine. 👌👌👌👌

[@abbybonilla4511]

Yamaha (and everyone else) needs to step up their quads and bring back sport quads OR bring this to market.

[@Parttimefarmer83]

Yamaha rules every one else druels.

[@frasermacmannis614]

Awesome video! Well produced and shot!

[@crazyflyboy30]

Check out my test run stock and stock exhaust before the power modified the video is DARK KNIGHT 60ft testing stock I did a 1. 99 60 ft and a 0-30 mph in 1.97 seconds and this stock 😂. Can't believe what's happening with 23 HP added to 90 HP 113 HP is going to be wild ride.

[@Fullthrottlefriday]

I'd love to buy that off you, give me a shout when you get sick of it

[@derekpiehl85]

I totally agree the grizz has more to offer. Yamaha could definitely kick can am and Polaris off there pedistal if they really wanted to.

[@tigermarcel1997]

Brute enters the chat

[@AndrewSmith-md3fu]

C'mon let's fight fair.

[@davidhalejr58]

Would love to borrow for a month or more

[@christhomason1083]

What did you get the overall weight down to?

[@AndrewSmith-md3fu]

Good effort. I would want a wider long travel 4x4 yamaha. Did you change a arms and CVs? Did the powersteering survive? Is there anything you van do to make brakes stop the big tires sooner? I do my own work. I'm not paying for a clutch kit. I'll build one to my liking. Learned to love yamaha again after buying a Raptor. Quality pipe, cam, tuner and an intake to make power. I don't like the mbrp already has chaf marks or the tin foil skid plates. Poly holds up better and retains it's shape.

[@Legoinry]

I agree with these guys on almost all things that being said, on this your wrong first the scrambler isn't even in the same league as a renny and second this machine isn't even in the same sport as a renny or scrambler so good luck pitching this

[@daviddunlap5602]

Wait this is a factory build that I can buy? Damn I was headed to the store tomorrow lol.

[@MaineMadeAdventures]

oh great...now i need to buy another grizzly

[@darylmanumik5980]

Man I remember when they made a raptor 660 i think it was

[@jontebakhjul.aka.jkstuntman]

Ten years ago you did the same with the 2014 version

[@dirttraxtv]

Correct. 10 Year Anniversary build.

[@Kq750.]

Can you do this to my kingquad 750 2023

[@paul340mopar]

Pretty Sweet...But I have a Raptor and a Grizzly, so.... The Best of both Worlds. 😎

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

Cool idea but my renegade 1000 xxc would still eat that for lunch straight out of the box.

[@dirttraxtv]

Of course it would! It is significantly more powerful.

[@Kq750.]

Hope they don't crush this one like last one,ill take it lol

[@Jarvis_aka_UgunnH8This]

How much did the build cost? Or how much would it have cost someone without sponsors to build? It would be beyond awesome if Yamaha built a rig like this. I would jump all over it!!

[@dirttraxtv]

​@@Jarvis_aka_UgunnH8This We will do a cost breakdown video soon. Stay tuned!!

[@Jarvis_aka_UgunnH8This]

@ will do and thank you

[@AnDrEw122100]

They already have the engines , the 850 wolverine side by side engine would be perfect for a scrambler/renegade style quad. Unfortunately Yamaha is not going to invest anymore money into their quads . Their side by sides are also behind . No enclosed cabs yet . They make to much money in other ventures it seems. They’ll axe the quads before they develop anything else I feel like , like they did to snowmobiles .

[@CMM-sv8xk]

Like the old Yamaha Wolverine 450 ATV but more weight and little bit more power.

[@bunnyrabbit211]

Honda ok

[@Mud_Dragon]

did u see the new raptor 4x4?

[@SPACE-IS-FAKE-777]

Never heard anything

[@Matteo-xm6xo]

Imagine if yamaha slapped a yz250 engine in a sport quad.yeah 😂

[@Slane583]

The only two brands to have enough spine to actually make something like this for the market were Can-Am and Polaris. The Big-4 Japanese brands are just a timid husk of their former selves. They don't do anything new and what they do offer feels same-old same-old. Luckily out of all four brands Yamaha still has it in them to keep offering 2-stroke YZ's. The others don't offer anything all that interesting. They really need to start trying something new.

[@tobygardner1936]

how much was that build compared to buying a stock can am or Polaris? and less power??? cool but not realistic for everyday buyers

[@eithanlong1355]

Yamaha and Honda are both behind on times... But most reliable though!

[@cadencrain18]

Please do a giveaway with the wr for a subscriber

[@destinhook3826]

Just sucks how complacent all the Japanese manufacturers are

[@firemanjon]

Id sell my first born for that thing. Which is saying something. Cause he's an only child.

[@normanhaney583]

I could see doing this with a wrecked machine, but a perfectly good quad?

[@joshc606]

Absolutely! Looks at how people modify perfectly good cars? It’s no different. Enthusiast will always improve.

[@dirttraxtv]

@@normanhaney583 We're crazy like that.

[@concealit4800]

Just buy a renegade or scrambler

[@abrrymnvette]

This is a terrible video. You did nothing to show how your mods improved the quad in the trails or track or any sort of timing. All you did was cut the fenders and make a 4 minute commercial for all the brands you bolted on. Massive letdown.

[@justincoxhead1290]

Did you miss all the build shows? If you don’t like it don’t watch it Karen

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

Pull the sheets off, not a walk around or detailed review.

[@mathieusynnott8915]

I would like to see on a race track too.

[@dirttraxtv]

This was the reveal video to top off the build series. I promise we are not done yet. We'll be putting together a detailed overview, including a price breakdown and since I did the test ride on the Grizzly we used this for, I'm hoping AJ will let me do a full review of this ATV and I'll go over how each of the products enhanced the machine. Lots of suppliers involved in this build and they all deserve the shout out. Couldn't have done it without their help.

[@Highlifepods]

I would love to see a gncc pro race it or even a local pro at a xc series local to the Midwest

[@SPACE-IS-FAKE-777]

It’s cool to build things and express your own thoughts and vision, that being said I wouldn’t spend the money building when Polaris and can am already make 1000 cc 4wd quads that are ready out of the box

[@cgreeneblue]

Ah, it's fun to have something unique. Sometimes it's not what you can buy but what you can build :)

[@SPACE-IS-FAKE-777]

@ I get it. I’m just being practical. Builds are cool, it’s the point that it’s only 700 cc and bigger quads are available out of the box. If it was a 1200 or something wicked I’d be all in
