2016 Yamaha Grizzly and Kodiak 700 in Production in Georgia

Yamaha‘s new 2016 Grizzly and Kodiak 700 ATVs are rolling off the production line at its U.S. factory in Newnan, Ga.

“Yamaha’s four-by-four ATVs are the toughest, most durable and off-road capable in the world, and it’s exciting to see the 2016 models coming off the production line in Georgia this summer,” says Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group marketing manager.

The all-new Grizzly and Kodiak 700 models are differentiated by their body size, styling and the all-new DOHC 708cc, four-valve, fuel-injected engine. According to Yamaha, the engine has been given optimized torque, power delivery and engine character for each model’s particular riding style.

The new Grizzlies come in non-EPS, EPS, Special Edition and Limited Edition variations with multiple color and styling options.
