2024 Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS SE

Compact Chassis

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

Factory-Installed Winch Comes Standard

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

Real-World® Tough

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

Roomy Ergonomics

To ensure that riders of all sizes can make the most of the Kodiak 450 EPS SE, 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.

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 SE is ready to tackle rough terrain without breaking a sweat—and with the sort of rider comfort that makes long rides a blast too.

Ultramatic® and On-Command®

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE 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.
