The Yamaha Grizzly 700 first offered power steering as an option in 2007.
Introduction of Electric Power Steering (EPS) on the Yamaha Grizzly 700
In 2007, Yamaha unveiled the Grizzly 700, an updated model that brought significant advancements to its utility ATV line. This particular year was notable for the introduction of key features designed to enhance performance and rider experience:
- Fuel Injection: The 2007 Grizzly 700 moved away from carburetion, adopting fuel injection. This upgrade provided more precise fuel delivery, leading to improved starting, better throttle response, and more consistent power delivery across various conditions and altitudes.
- Optional Electric Power Steering (EPS): A major comfort and control enhancement, Electric Power Steering became an available option for the Grizzly 700 in 2007. This system actively assists the rider in steering, significantly reducing the effort required, particularly at slow speeds, during tight maneuvers, or when traversing rugged terrain. The addition of EPS made the ATV more manageable and less fatiguing for extended periods of use.
The integration of optional EPS was a highly anticipated and well-received improvement, further solidifying the Yamaha Grizzly 700's standing as a capable and user-friendly all-terrain vehicle for both utility work and recreational riding.
