2025 YAMAHA ATV AND UTV LINEUP

2025 YAMAHA ATV AND UTV LINEUP

A new youth Grizzly, RMAX4 and everything in between By the staff of Dirt Wheels

YOUTH

Yamaha knows the value of building brand loyalty at a young age. The choice of youth offerings grew for 2025 with the addition of an all-new Grizzly 110. Unfortunately, the Raptor 250 hasn’t seen a return yet, but the smaller kids will have several 2025 Yamahas to choose from.

GRIZZLY 110: $3599

This hunting season, Junior can get dressed up in his or her favorite camo outfit and orange helmet to go scouting with the guys. The smaller Grizzly is available in a red/gray color choice for 2025. It’s powered by a 112cc, air-cooled four-stroke engine that’s mated to an automatic transmission. There’s nothing special in the suspension department, as this new bear only has single A-arms up front and just over 5 inches of travel. Drum brakes handle the stopping chores at both ends and are operated via separate levers up on the handlebars. An electric starter will help parents get the kids going while the throttle limiter will keep them from going too fast.

RAPTOR 110: $3599

If your kid is looking for something a bit more sporty looking, then the Raptor 110 might just be it. Again, this model is aimed for the 10-and-over crowd, but is still beginner-friendly, thanks to an electric starter and automatic transmission. Under the bodywork, the chassis is the same as the Grizzly and so is the powerplant. The Raptor bodywork and the absence of racks come with a weight savings of over 25 pounds. Additionally, the seat height is about an inch taller on the Raptor.

YFZ50: $2349

Like the Raptor 90, this little youth sport quad is available in Yamaha Blue or teal. The smaller YFZ50 uses an automatic transmission mated to an air-cooled four-stroke engine with a two-stage throttle limiter, along with an ignition kill tether. This is the perfect machine to let all of your kids learn on, and it should outlast the next couple of generations of riders in the family.

SPORT ATV 

Yamaha once again gets credit for saving the sport ATV industry. They are still the only major brand selling a 2WD sport ATV, and they thankfully still sell two of our favorites.

RAPTOR 700: $9699

Not only is the mighty Raptor 700 the king of the dunes and desert out west, it also works very well ripping through the rough wooded trails back east. The base-model Raptor still receives long-travel suspension with over 9 inches of travel up front and an inch more out back. The 700R model with set you back an extra $600, but that will also get you reservoir shocks. The SE version fetches for an additional $700, yet comes equipped with GYTR front and rear grab bars. All machines are powered by the massive 686cc, single-cylinder, big-bore four-stroke. This beast is ready for anything you want to explore behind the bars.

YFZ450R: $10,599

The only track-oriented sport quad available today is the YFZ450R. Its aluminum frame and 48.8-inch-wide stance make it nearly track-ready. It’s powered by a five-valve, twin-cam top end sitting above a slipper clutch that tames the strong output through the five-speed transmission. Dual A-arms control 9.8 inches of travel, and an aluminum swingarm will handle 11 inches of movement. The SE model will set you back $400 more, but gets you a GYTR front bumper and rear grab bar, special Acid Green bodywork, and wheel accents.

4X4 UTILITY

Yamaha utility ATVs brought a lot of firsts to the segment, and they continue to be improved upon today. The Grizzly was the first with EPS and the first with fuel injection. Plus, all Yamaha CVT-equipped machines have a 10-year belt-life warranty. No other ATV manufacturer comes close to that kind of confidence.

GRIZZLY 700: $10,399

The flagship Grizzly returns for the new year and is available in four trim levels all with EPS. The big bear is powered by a smooth, 686cc, single-cylinder mill. The base model comes with 26-inch-tall tires, while the XT-R trim gets you 27-inch Maxxis Zilla rubber and a winch. All trim levels use the same chassis and suspension, with dual A-arms on all four corners moving 7.6 inches up front and 9.1 inches in the back. The camo model fetches an extra $1000, but also comes with 14-inch wheels and a winch as standard equipment. New for 2025, the Grizzly features an upgraded EPS system that will help when you install even larger tires and when riding in extreme environments.

KODIAK 700: $7899

You can still get the larger Kodiak with or without EPS, which is a $1700 add-on. The Kodiak sits about 3 inches lower than the Grizzly, but only gives up a half inch of front-wheel travel. For braking, the Kodiak uses a multi-disc wet brake in the rear and discs up front, while the Grizzly uses four-wheel discs. Like the Grizzly, the Kodiak receives the upgraded electronic power steering for 2024 and uses the same Ultramatic transmission with its 10-year belt warranty. 

KODIAK 450: $6399

The most affordable utility ATV in Yamaha’s lineup is the Kodiak 450. While it does have a compact chassis that’s easier to load, haul and store, the seating position is roomy and fun to ride in all conditions. It’s powered by a liquid-cooled engine with fuel injection and has options with or without power steering. Full of fuel and ready to ride, this Kodiak only weighs 650 pounds. The smaller Kodiak has the same multi-disc wet braking system as the larger one, plus the 10-year CVT belt warranty. The full-featured Kodiak 450 (EPS and winch) is only $7699.

PURE SPORT UTV

The most versatile two-seat UTV on the market returns for 2025. Over the years this platform has seen several upgrades, including its current six-speed automatic/manual transmission. Several aftermarket companies have taken care of power and suspension modifications, like Weller Racing (wellerracing.com), allowing you to reach any performance goals.

YXZ1000R: $20,899

This is the original stick-shifting, three-pedal dirt rocket. It’s the most direct-connected UTV on the market and the most like riding a sport ATV or dirt bike.  The Yamaha press release states the YXZ1000R features an industry-first, high-revving, high-output 998cc, inline-triple engine mated to the industry’s only six-speed manual transmission that’s optimized for performance in both high- and low-speed situations. The durable, high-performance, belt-less clutch delivers greater confidence during operation while simultaneously improving driver comfort at slower speeds. The result is a unique, direct-connection driving experience unmatched by anything else on the market.

YXZ1000R SS: $20,899

Here you can use the paddle shifter or let the computer and transmission do the shifting for you. According to Yamaha, all models features Fox 2.5 Podium RC2 shocks with dual-spring-rate adjustable crossovers. All four corners are fully adjustable spring preload, crossover adjustment, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear, along with exceptional ride quality, tuneability, and handling.

YXZ1000R XT-R: $23,699

This model will allow you to tackle the gnarliest terrain. It comes with standard beadlock wheels and a winch up front. According to Yamaha, the YXZ1000R SS XT-R mounts large, ultra-aggressive, 29-inch Maxxis Carnage radial tires that offer exceptional traction, durability, and precision in the most extreme off-road environments. 

REC UTILITY

Now the largest segment in the SxS category, the crossovers are the most sought out and desired. Yamaha has the largest lineup, all with the Wolverine moniker.

WOLVERINE MAX4 1000: $27,999

The biggest news of 2025 for the bLU cRU was the introduction of this model. It’s a true open-terrain four-seater aimed more at the West Coast buyer. It’s about 30 inches longer than the two-seater, has full-sized rear seats with lots of legroom and a dumping cargo bed. Yamaha’s largest twin-cylinder engine with revised clutching moves this 2300-pound machine along. The Limited model (shown) sells for $29,199. 

WOLVERINE RMAX2 1000: $23,699

New updates for the RMAX2 1000, as well as the four-seaters, include a new multi-screen digital instrument cluster and new navigation system borrowed from Yamaha’s marine division. All the RMAXs get a stronger power steering system that has adjustable modes of assist. Finally, Turf mode is the new standard across the RMAX lineup. The winch-equipped XT-R version will set you back an extra $1300, and the full-featured Limited fetches for $500 more.

WOLVERINE RMAX4 1000 COMPACT: $28,199

Along with the new name, this four-seater gets the stronger EPS and a front diff with easier engagement. Out back, the rear diff can now be unlocked to access Turf mode. The new Adventure Pro system is available on the Limited model, as is a winch and Fox iQS suspension that you can adjust on the fly in the cab.

WOLVERINE X2 850 XT-R: $16,499

This Wolverine is a bit more compact in width and power. It’s 4 inches narrower at 62.2 inches and is powered by an 847cc twin-cylinder motor. Suspension is handled by dual A-arms on all four corners like the RMAX’s but with almost half the travel, with 8.7 inches in the front and 9.3 inches of movement out back. The model is only available in the XT-R trim, which gives you a roof, winch and strong wheels.

WOLVERINE X4 850 XT-R: $18,499

Similar to the compact RMAX, this four-seater is meant for tighter East Coast trails or for a customer that is space-conscious. The rear seats slide forward to reveal some cargo real estate. Like the two-seat X4, this model uses a twin-cylinder, 847cc motor mated to the Yamaha Ultramatic CVT system with a 10-year belt-life warranty. 

WOLVERINE X2 1000: $17,999

If you are looking for a compact two-seat machine with over 100 horsepower, the X2 1000 is that. It comes in spec trim or as an XT-R ($19,999). These smaller Wolverines do not get the updated EPS and diff-lock or the Turf mode out back. But, they still come with Yamaha’s Ultramatic transmission and 10-year belt-life warranty.
