2026 Yamaha GRIZZLY EPS XT- R

2026 Grizzly EPS XT-R

ULTIMATE ADVENTURE SEEKER. The Grizzly XT-R further enhances rugged terrain capability and confidence with 27-inch Maxxis® 'Zilla tires, 14-inch aluminum wheels, factory-installed WARN® VRX 25 winch and high-quality painted bodywork.

The Grizzly EPS transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
