2012 Yamaha Grizzly 350 Auto 4×4 Highlights:
1
The power-packed, full-featured Grizzly 350
Automatic 4×4 solid axle carries a lot of advanced
Yamaha ATV technology in an affordable package.
2
Industry-exclusive, fully automatic Ultramatic®

in 4WD mode.

Class-exclusive On-Command® 4WD means
switching from 2WD to 4WD is as simple as pushing
a handlebar-mounted button.

Light weight and advanced design produce an ATV
with light steering and a class-leading turning
radius, for excellent maneuverability and nimble
handling—even in 4WD.
5
Left-side-mounted F/N/R shift lever keeps throttle
hand free while shifting.
6
Wide, fully integrated floorboards help keep feet
dry, and serrated footpegs provide extra grip in wet
conditions.
7
Class-exclusive large-diameter ventilated
hydraulic dual front disc and single rear drum
brakes deliver tremendous stopping power in a
variety of conditions.
8
Aggressive 25×8-12 front and 25×10-12 rear tires
further boost ground clearance while providing
plenty of traction and responsive handling.
9
Steel Blue model includes cast aluminum wheels.
