2026 Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R

2026 Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R

ANY TASK, ANY TIME. With aluminum wheels to complement painted plastics and eye-catching graphics, this class-leading XT-R is ready for work or play.

With the simple push of a button, the three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD. An override button allows the engine to reach maximum rpm in full differential lock mode.

The Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R further enhances rugged terrain capability and confidence with a factory-installed WARN® VRX 25 winch and high-quality painted bodywork.

To handle nearly any terrain with ease, the Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R offers an impressive 10.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skid plates for maximum underbelly protection.

The Kodiak 450 EPS XT-R transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
