Key Features:

A liquid-cooled 421cc single feeds power through a full-auto constantly variable transmission. The Wolverine 450 is a great explorer.

Sport-tuned suspension, radial tires, light weight and a centralized mass add up to an excellent-handling ATV.
Pushbutton electric starting for quick, easy starts in nearly any condition.

Engine:
Powerful 421cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-stroke single is torquey, revvable, smooth-running and extremely reliable.
A semi-oval slide 33mm BSR Mikuni® carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition deliver great throttle response and performance at all rpm.
Fully automatic transmission is extremely rugged and reliable, with a constant belt-tensioning system, that provides confident downhill engine braking.
A large-capacity aluminum radiator provides maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in frame for optimal protection.
Easy-access, tool-free air filter simplifies changing and cleaning.
An automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance requirements.

Chassis/Suspension:
Light, high-tensile steel frame provides a strong foundation for double-wishbone front and single-shock rear long-travel suspension systems for a sporty yet comfortable ride.
Five-way preload-adjustable suspension front and rear lets the Wolverine 450 be dialed in just right for varying loads and conditions.
A wet weight of 550 pounds means the Wolverine 450 runs right with the big sport dogs.
Low-maintenance shaft drives provide near-bulletproof strength and reliability.
Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power.
23 x 8-12 front and 23 x 10-12 rear radial sport tires serve up great traction and quick, light handling.
