Yamaha Grizzly EPS ATV

What can we say about one of the best Yamaha Grizzly all-terrain ATVs on the market? We tested this ATV on all types of terrain, from deep forests to very muddy hills, all the way to deserts. There may be more powerful ATVs on the market, but the Yamaha Grizzly's performance, comfort and confident handling are the envy of many.

Suzuki KingQuad vs Yamaha Grizzly

Suzuki has redesigned the KingQuad 750 ATV for 2022. The ATV company has been incredibly quiet over the past 10 years, doing nothing to freshen up their ATV lineup.

However, Suzuki has sold a lot of equipment and has quite a loyal following of its brand. In this regard, the question arises - how does the Suzuki KingQuad 750 AXi EPS compare with other quads? The newest single cylinder ATV is the Yamaha Grizzly. Does the new Suzuki KingQuad 750 AXi EPS have enough capabilities to compete with the bear? Let's look at the numbers and compare.

Suzuki has redesigned the 2022 KingQuad 750 AXi ATV, making it stiffer and addressing several weak points. Most noticeably, Suzuki made changes to improve the steering geometry, towing, and suspension in general. The Suzuki can now tow up to 600kg with ease. The redesigned suspension makes the King Quad more stable. The shock absorbers are larger in diameter, have five-position pre-compression adjustment and are now gas-charged. Suzuki also redesigned the steering geometry to improve maneuverability, improve feedback and reduce the ATV's turning radius. Thankfully it retains a similar design to the old model as they have always been quite stylish. Suzuki also added a handlebar-mounted headlight and added an LED taillight.

ATVs are different. And for different things. Some are for tourist trips through dry steppes and deserts. Others are for going on a picnic in the mountains. Still others are for “kneading the dirt” during hunting or trophy competitions. Actually, the latter will be discussed.

In the segment of large-volume “mud mixers” there are not many contenders for the title of the best. The leadership is still held by the iconic Kawasaki KVF750 Brute Force - a little more than 270 kg of dry weight, a 50-horsepower V-twin, short overhangs and a compact wheelbase - ironclad arguments that are very difficult to argue with off-road. Close on its heels is a participant in our test – the Suzuki LT-A750X KingQuad. This ATV has almost the same geometry, weight and power. In third place is the 686 cc 46 hp Yamaha Grizzly.

If in a local society one of the equals mentally rises above the others, cultivating a sense of his own greatness, and calls himself a king, he will receive a logical question:

A case fresh in my memory was when a friend purchased a Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI and immediately went to check the depth of the surrounding swamps. He did not pay attention to the words of his friends who were quadcyclists, that 350 kilograms of dry weight, tires for hard ground and not very humane overhangs were far from the best option for such an event. The result is predictable - plus one recessed square. If Polaris Suzuki LT-A750X KingQuad had been in the place, the ending of that story would have been different.

Due to the additional headlight placed on the steering wheel, this quad is reminiscent of American-made four-wheelers. I won’t dwell in more detail on the intricacies of the design: after all, if you operate such equipment correctly, then the plastic body kit will still be hidden under a layer of dirt most of the time.

Getting acquainted with the controls. As expected, everything was done according to unwritten standards - the maximum number of buttons was placed on the left remote control, and on the right there was only a 2WD/4WD switch, combined into one system with a front differential locking “flag”. The instrument panel, by class standards, is made canonically and is a rectangular LCD display that displays speed, engine hours, mileage, fuel reserve, transmission mode and time. To the right of the steering column there is a sealed glove compartment of the original design with a durable lid. It is convenient to load money, documents, telephone and other small things that do not like moisture into it.

The landing is expectedly comfortable. Moreover, this applies not only to the position called “sitting in a chair with a Cuban cigar.” The KingQuad is equally comfortable to stand on, move back and forth, and move left and right. From this I can conclude that the one who “drew” the ATV rode it himself.

After starting, the huge “single” began to softly mumble through a massive muffler can made of stainless steel (on the Kawasaki KVF750 Brute Force, by the way, the exhaust is made of ordinary steel, so it quickly begins to become covered with rust). The engine turned out to be very sharp at the bottom - a careless press of the gas trigger results in an instant jump, so before starting, look at what position the mode selector is in - it’s not even an hour, you’ll jump back!

The transmission mode selector itself works well - the “poker” gets into the desired position the first time, but at this moment a quiet and drawn-out “HR-R-R!” can sometimes be heard from the depths of the engine. And this despite the fact that all switching was made only after the quad had completely stopped. Strange…

The first part of the test took place among deciduous forests near Kiev. While fulfilling an editorial assignment, we were looking for dirt in which we could “bath” the KingQuad to the delight of the photographer. But, in vain... There was no dirt. The reason for this was the abnormal, drying heat that had been tormenting the local area in recent weeks. Winding along a forest path, I noticed a very light steering wheel and... the ATV’s not entirely adequate response to turning this control. The Suzuki responds to fast steering sharply, accurately, but with a slight delay. Moreover, at this moment there is a noticeable sagging of the external (relative to the turn) shock absorber of the front suspension. Having inspected the unit, I saw that the spring preload was almost completely loose, and to adjust it, a special tool was needed, which remained in Kyiv. In addition, it struck me that the front suspension arms are made of too thin tubes, while the rear ones are welded from a rigid, thick rectangular profile. If I understand anything about engineering, the first unnoticed stump or too hard landing from a springboard will cripple the quad. And further. A circular inspection showed that in the event of an assault on even a small water obstacle, the variator can gulp water through the air duct in the rear of the quad. Yes, this can be solved by installing snorkels, but competing quads in this regard are initially thought out more carefully.

Having left the road, I went deeper into the thicket. The forest gradually became denser, there were more trees along the way, and the steering had to work more and more. At some point it became quite difficult to drive - I had to make an asterisk turn several times. At this moment I realized that the KingQuad has a modest (by class standards) steering eversion, which negatively affects the turning radius. Having got out of the thicket, I found myself on a gentle slope riddled with small ravines. Suzuki liked this terrain, down-up, down-up... On the next short climb I give the gas, and the ATV, standing on its rear wheels, easily jumps out of the ravine. The landing occurs softly, without a hint of suspension breakdown. Afterwards, the quad moved to the pine forest, where the second part of the test took place. The surface on this special section is deep sand. It immediately became clear that the standard tires were designed primarily for hard ground - on unsteady terrain, the tread height was not enough for a good “grip.” Although, even in this case, sandy rise is not an obstacle for KingQuad, if certain conditions are met. One of them is to take such an obstacle “on the fly.”

Thanks to the short wheelbase and overhangs, the Suzuki is very difficult to seat on its belly. However, for the sake of experimentation, I found sand that was softer and deeper, and, squeezing the gas trigger, buried the square up to its wings in sediment. At that moment it seemed that everything, he had “arrived”! But... as soon as I put the car in reverse and lightly touched the trigger, the KingQuad just as easily dug itself out and drove out of the hole it had created. By the way, when the front differential lock is turned on, the electronics limit the speed. This is a rather useful feature, because stories about the breakdown of this unit are not uncommon.

I remember that the Kawasaki Brute Force could sit very firmly in such a place - its 2-cylinder engine produced a more frequent series of flashes, and accordingly, torque impulses went to the wheels more often. This was the reason for the development of wheel slip; moreover, it was not easy to control this process. The KingQuad single cylinder engine has the edge in this discipline. Due to the fact that the mixture is ignited by the spark plug less frequently, the wheels have time to catch the surface again. But it doesn't happen that everything is perfect. Sometimes even a calm rider wants to cheer himself up with a couple of power drifts at good speed. But here the LT-A750X has a problem...

While spinning in circles on the shifting sands on the banks of the Dnieper, I tried to pamper the photographer with some spectacular “trick.” By this time, I had already become quite familiar with the ATV, and even the frightening roll of the front suspension in corners was taken for granted. I accelerate, turn the wheels into the corner, press the gas trigger and feel how the rear begins to move to the side. At this moment, you should usually hang down and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction, delighting yourself and the photographer with a spectacular controlled skid, but... But here the property of the single-cylinder engine that I described earlier came into play. Seeing that the speed was quite decent, the wheels managed to catch on the sand, but the engine no longer had the strength to break them into slipping again. As a result, the skid instantly stopped, the external (relative to the turn) shock absorber compressed, the front suspension arm instantly sank, and the right front wheel dug into the sand. After this, the unlucky tester was thrown forward like a catapult.

Fortunately, I already had experience with similar “flights,” so after a series of “earth-sky-earth-sky” and landing, I instantly rolled away from the intended trajectory of the quadra’s somersaults. But... nothing heavy or buzzing rushed past... Having found KingQuad with my eyes, I was taken aback. He stood on wheels a meter away from me, contemplating my surprised “face” with slanted optics and, as if nothing had happened, “mumbled” at idle. Eyewitnesses say that after I jumped off the ATV (and from the outside it looked exactly like this), it instantly leveled off, drove a few more meters by inertia, caught up with me, and stopped. So don’t believe in the Rise of the Machines after this...

Having saddled him again, I continued to rush along the Dnieper sands. At high speeds, the quad behaves stably, although it is felt that the single-cylinder engine does not like high speeds. In this regard, its closest competitor, Brute Force, is more preferable, because its engine is much more responsive at the top.

The KingQuad braking system can also be called canonical. The front wheels have disc brakes with two-piston calipers, and the rear brake is a set of discs operating in an oil bath inside the rear axle. This design is excellently protected from dirt and damage, but due to the fact that the braking force is transmitted to the wheels through CV joints, the splines can be subject to premature wear. The information content of the system is very low. However, for a utilitarian ATV this is not so important. But the performance is at a completely acceptable level - to stop quickly, you don’t need to be a “jock” - the force of two fingers is enough on the front and rear brake levers.

The category in which Suzuki makes its closest competitors black with envy is the illumination of the road (or off-road) at night. The third headlight, which is located on the steering wheel, is very convenient if you decide to go out into the forest at night to pick mushrooms - thanks to its presence, you will see not only the place where you are going, but also where you can go.

Frankly speaking, the Japanese were somewhat deceitful when they called the model the “King of Quads”. This model is well balanced and unique in its own way, but she still needs to grow into a full-fledged “royal person”, having gotten rid of a number of “childhood diseases”. Although, if you don’t try to make him an athlete, but use him for his intended purpose - to calmly travel cross-country on his utilitarian errands, then with his level of comfort he can probably lay claim to the crown...
