YAMAHA Bruin Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

One of the Grizzly family relatives, the 2010 Yamaha Bruin 350 4x4 is building on the proven performance and reliability of the platform, being yet another nifty can-do-it-all ATV. With on-command on the fly 4WD, electric start, full-size cargo racks and an impressive towing capacity, the 2010 Yamaha Bruin 350 4x4 is a great companion around the farm and for wandering on the forest roads.

Easy to operate thanks to the intuitive F/N/R automatic transmission, the 2010 Yamaha Bruin 350 4x4 can be used even by less-experienced riders, in a variety of scenarios, for work and play. Integrated floorboards keep the mud where it belongs when riding in the wet, while the triple hydraulic brakes make sure there's plenty of stopping power whenever needed.

The 2008 Yamaha Bruin 350 is one of the “cousins” of the Grizzly 350, and therefore they share the same platform, retaining all the family character: a middleweight construction which is extremely nimble thanks to the powerful engine, boasting extreme versatility and being as fun during weekends as it is a reliable working partner during weekends.

On-command push-button switching between 2WD and 4WD ensures the optimal traction according to needs, while engine braking reduces the disc brakes wear and provides safer descents down steep gradients. With hefty racking and towing capacities, the 2008 Bruin 350 is sure to make life easier as far as work is concerned, and much funnier when leisure is the name of the game.

The heart of Yamaha Bruin is a 350cc air cooled unit attached to a CVT (automatic) transmission engine. It is worth noting that this engine has been made by Yamaha since at least 1987, probably longer which likely accounts for the reliability of it. No EFI here, just a carburetor.
