If ever an ATV were created in its big brother's image, this is it: Presenting the all-new Kodiak 450 Automatic 4WD. Think of it as the ultimate, Grizzly-like performer in a slightly smaller, nimble package.

Kodiak 450 features the very same In/Out 4WD with Diff-Lock system and digital gauges found on the Grizzly 660. An all-new, more powerful liquid-cooled, 4-stroke single powerplant boasts increased horsepower and torque while its compact, 45° cylinder angle design creates maximum ground clearance and lower seat height for quick, agile handling.

An all-new, CAD-designed chassis is lightweight and super-rigid for outstanding handling and terrainability. And that's just for starters.

A picture of comfort and function, the new Kodiak's cockpit features easy-to-reach switchgear and hi/lo range shift lever (positioned on the left side to keep the throttle hand free), roomy ergonomics and trick digital LCD instrumentation.

So if escaping for you is trailblazing, hunting or simply heading out to the back forty, you're looking at the perfect getaway vehicle.
