YAMAHA Rhino 450 Auto. 4x4 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2008 Yamaha Rhino 450 4x4 is a middleweight SxS for those who believe the 700 version is overkill. Despite the smaller displacement, this quad makes no compromise: it's just a machine with a scaled-down power, but retaining all the maneuverability and off-road worthiness of its bigger sibling. Comfort-focused construction make this SxS great for day-long work around the farm or ranch, but it will also provide top-notch transportation when camping in the wold or simply having weekend fun.

On-command 4WD with optional diff locking is standard, while the automatic transmission makes operation easy and fun, even for less experienced riders. The engine braking works for all the wheels, ensuring safer descents on steep slopes , while the rear bed loading capacity was kept intact, so the 2008 Yamaha Rhino 450 4x4 could offer the same hauling ability like the 700 versions.
