Tough, Functional, Versatile. For those interested in driving the hardest-possible bargain on a Yamaha side-by-side. The Rhino 450 does just about everything its big brother does, only draws power from an avil-tough 421cc engine that squeezes maximum performance from a bulletproof and proven powerplant.
Key Features:
This groundbreaking off-road recreational side-by-side is like nothing else on the market-a way to get out there in style and comfort with a friend and your gear.
Comfortable interior with automotive-type controls: Steering wheel, left-side foot brake pedal/right-side foot accelerator pedal, center-mounted console shifter and parking brake lever, turn-to-start ignition switch, indicator lights and 12-volt accessory outlet.
421cc liquid-/oil-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight add up to great all-around performance, excellent terrainability and great fuel efficiency.
Industry-exclusive fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission with dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse is the most advanced drive system available. Maintaining constant belt tension reduces wear, gives instant throttle response and provides industry-exclusive all-wheel downhill engine braking.
Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD-all with the simple push of a button.
Fully independent four-wheel suspension: Double-wishbones front and rear deliver 7.3 inches of wheel travel, and five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide maximum tire contact and comfort while navigating rough terrain.
Thick bucket seats and that great long-travel suspension system work together to provide the smoothest ride in the industry.
Dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive with reverse taps into more pulling power in low and more performance in high than any machine in its class.
Console-mounted dual-range (H/L/N/R) shift lever.
33mm Mikuni BSR carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition serve up great throttle response and excellent fuel efficiency.
