2026 Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R

This XT-R Edition combines unmatched styling and features with classic Kodiak value, reliability and durability.

Features may include:

• Ultramatic & On-Command

The Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R brings Yamaha's renowned combination of the industry's most durable automatic transmission Ultramatic with the rider-centric control and traction of On-Command selectable 4WD. The result is outstanding capability with the confidence to get you through the most challenging terrain and back again.

• Terrainability

With standard full-length skid plates, nearly 10 inches of ground clearance and independent double wishbone suspension with adjustable shocks, the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R is ready to tackle rough terrain without breaking a sweat and with the sort of rider comfort that makes long rides a blast too.

• Factory-Installed Winch Comes Standard

The Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R further enhances rugged terrain capability and confidence with a factory-installed WARN® VRX 25 winch, boosting rider confidence in the toughest conditions.

• Compact Chassis

Unlike many middleweight utility ATVs, the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R isn't just a smaller engine under a full-size body. Yamaha built the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R from the ground up to give riders a compact chassis for precise handling and maneuverability on the trail.

• Roomy Ergonomics

To ensure that riders of all sizes can make the most of the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R, the ergonomics were designed for maximum flexibility. Riders large and small have room to move around thanks to a long, comfortable seat and wide floorboards. The handlebar bend is shaped for riders of various heights to improve comfort for any rider.

• Real-World Tough

Like all Yamaha ATVs and Side-by-Sides, the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R uses a range of features to improve durability and serviceability, from the toolless air filter design and oil drain ports to the high-mounted air intakes and marine-grade electrical connectors.
