Yamaha's industry leading Ultramatic® CVT (fully automatic) dual range transmission with reverse & downhill engine braking

Dual range, high - low transmission with reverse. Low range offers more "grunt" for towing or hauling heavy loads or when tackling technical terrain
CVT automatically selects the optimum transmission ratio, meaning you are always in the right "gear"
Ultramatic® design offers controllable, confidence inspiring downhill engine braking
Downhill engine braking also reduces brake wear & related servicing
Ultramatic® design utilizes a special centrifugal clutch which keeps constant tension on the V-belt, reducing belt wear since the belt does not slip as the clutches engage
High mounted belt cooling ducts help prevent water ingestion
V-belt housing has an easy access "no tools required" drain plug
Automotive style, gated, 5-postion shifter (high, low, neutral, reverse & park)

Convenient, handlebar mounted push button On-Command® 2WD - 4WD drive selector

Drive system features 2 modes: 2WD & 4WD limited slip
