Sport-tuned suspension, radial sport tires and light weight add up to an excellent-handling ATV. Pushbutton electric starting for quick easy starts in nearly any condition.

Engine:

Powerful 421cc liquid-cooled, SOHC four-stroke single is torquey, revvable, smooth-running and extremely reliable. A semi-oval slide 33mm BSR Mikuni® carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition deliver great throttle response and performance at all rpm. Fully automatic transmission is extremely rugged and reliable with a constant belt-tensioning system, which provides confident downhill engine braking. A large-capacity aluminum radiator provides maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in frame for optimal protection. Easy-access, tool-free air filter simplifies that task. An automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance requirements.

Chassis/Suspension:

Light, high-tensile steel frame provides a strong foundation for double-wishbone front and single-shock rear long-travel suspension systems for a sporty yet comfortable ride. Five-way preload-adjustable suspension front and rear lets the Wolverine 450 be dialed in just right for varying loads and conditions. A dry weight under 516 pounds means the Wolverine 450 runs right with the big sport dogs. Low-maintenance shaft drives provide near-bulletproof strength and reliability. Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power. 23x8-12 radial sport tires up great traction and quick, light handling. Aluminum wheels mean low unsprung weight for great suspension action and overall performance. Full skid plates provide great undercarriage protection.

Additional Features:

A digital dash meter keeps track of speed and other essentials. An underseat storage compartment and integrated rear cargo rack make it easy to bring the things you need.
