Key Features:
    The all-new Wolverine 450 4x4 combines features like 4WD and a fully automatic transmission with light weight, sport-tuned adjustable suspension and Raptor styling. The result is a highly functional machine that’s a blast to ride almost anywhere.A liquid-cooled 421cc single feeding power through a full-auto constantly variable transmission means just twist the throttle and go, practically anywhere. The Wolverine 450 is a great explorer.California green sticker compliant.A fully automatic transmission and Yamaha On-Command™ gear selector system means switching from 2WD to 4WD is as simple as pushing the handlebar-mounted button.Raptor-inspired styling includes swoopy bodywork with integrated floorboards, a comfortable sport seat and an integrated rear rack.Sport-tuned suspension, tires, lightweight and a low center of gravity add up to an excellent-handling ATV.Pushbutton electric starting.
 Engine:
    Powerful liquid-cooled 421cc SOHC four-stroke is torquey, revvable, smooth-running and extremely reliable.A semi-oval slide 33mm BSR Mikuni carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition deliver great throttle response and performance at all RPM.Fully automatic transmission is extremely rugged and reliable with a constant belt-tensioning system, which provides confident downhill engine braking.A large-capacity aluminum radiator provides maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in frame for optimal protection.Easy-access, tool-free air filter simplifies that task.An automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance requirements.
 Chassis/Suspension:
    Light, high-tensile steel frame provides a strong foundation for double-wishbone front and single-shock rear long-travel suspension systems for a sporty yet comfortable ride.Five-way preload-adjustable suspension front and rear lets the Wolverine 450 be dialed in just right for varying loads and conditions.A dry weight under 520 pounds means the Wolverine 450 runs right with the big sport dogs.Low-maintenance shaft drives provide near-bulletproof strength and reliability.Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power.23 x 8-12 radial sport tires up great traction and quick, light handling.Aluminum wheels mean low unsprung weight for great suspension action and overall performance.Full skid plates provide great undercarriage protection.
 Additional Features:
    A digital dash meter keeps track of speed and other essentials.An underseat storage compartment and integrated rear cargo rack make it easy to bring the things you need.

GOLODOO after you've had a chance to try that Wolverine 450 out post some opinions. My kid's been wanting one. He wants a 4x4 to hang with his ol' dad, but he wants it to be sporty too. The wolverine looks like it would fit the bill.

I bought it home on 4/14 and the wife has about 15 miles on it,I have rode it as well a little,1st imprewssion is very good.Wheel base is 41.7" wide,I was worried about stability,but doesn't appear to be tippy.Power delivery is smooth & manageable,4WD does not require alot of effort to steer! Very nice package! I wanted my wife on a 4WD but she as well does not like the Utility quads!This is the ideal unit for her! I have a GYTR pipe ordered & some other items to "pep" it up a little! She came off a V Force 700(literally)it is my old atv I passed to her & she likes the power,But she had a mishap on a dusty trail and required shoulder surgery! So it is a mutual agreement for her well being she tries to control a bit more!We like to ride in the winter and this will be ideal! The tires are very good as well radials all around and with a good bite!It goes thru a good bit of mud in 2WD! I will keep you posted as I have time!

GOLODOO sorry to hear about you wife's unfortunate accident. Still sounds like the bike for my son. Let me know how it develops, I think I'm going to go to the dealer and have a look. Thanks

Tony
