The 2027 Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS XT-R stands out with a robust 686cc liquid-cooled SOHC 4-stroke engine paired to an Ultramatic V-belt with all-wheel engine braking, delivering controlled power and confident traction across rugged terrain. The bikes 10.0:1 compression ratio fuels responsive performance, while Yamaha Fuel Injection (YFI), 44mm, ensures crisp throttle response and steady idle in challenging conditions.

Built to handle demanding work and play, the chassis blends capable suspension and precise handling. Front independent double wishbone suspension with 7.1 inches of travel and five-way preload adjustment, plus a rear independent double wishbone with an anti-sway bar and 9.1 inches of travel, keep the ride smooth over technical trails. The rigid-feel platform rides on a wheelbase of 4.1 feet and a vehicle width of 3.88 feet, delivering predictable steering and stability. A wet weight of 686 pounds contributes to a sturdy, planted feel when loaded for a day of exploration or field tasks.

Practical durability rounds out its design with a 4.8 gallon fuel tank, ensuring fewer fuel stops during long rides, and a generous overall length of 6.79 feet and height of 4.07 feet for confident sightlines and clearance. The bore is 334.65 feet and the stroke is 275.59 feet, all engineered to balance torque and efficiency. View the Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS XT-R at Vallely Sport & Marine.
