2015 Raptor 700R
Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., today introduced the new 2015 Raptor
700R and Raptor 700 boasting increased power and suspension performance. The
“king of sport ATVs” continues its reign as the best-selling big bore sport
ATVs.
Yamaha, the best-selling sport ATV brand in the U.S., continues to
push the limits of performance in the sport category with the 2015 Raptor 700R
pulling approximately 10 percent more power this year from its fuel-injected
686cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve, single-cylinder engine.
To reach the increased output along with improved fuel efficiency
and reduced emissions, Yamaha gave the Raptor’s 700-class power plant a new
cylinder head, increased compression ratio (10.0:1), a new exhaust system,
updated valve timing and fuel injection mapping. For 2015, Yamaha has also
incorporated a D.I.D. X-ring drive chain with added durability.
Power makes the Raptor the top big bore, but it is the addition of
superior handling and comfort that makes it one of the best sport ATVs of all
time. Yamaha improved these aspects on the 2015 model as well with new front
and rear suspension settings and new construction Maxxis 22-inch front tires
providing increased comfort and superior handling. The Raptor 700 (non-R)
receives many of the same performance updates for 2015 – offering superior
performance at an extreme value — $500 less (MSRP).
“Yamaha, year-over-year, has committed to furthering the sport ATV
market and as such has dominated by bringing new and improved models like the
Raptor 700R,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and SxS group marketing manager.
The 2015 Raptor 700R will come in a new Yamaha Blue/White color
scheme with and an MSRP of $8,199 – no price increase over the 2014 models. A
Special Edition model with unique black-white plastics and red painted frame
plus GYTR heel guards and front grab bar will also be available for $8,799
MSRP. A standard (non-R) version Raptor 700 in Yamaha Blue/White has an MSRP of
$7,699.
The new Raptors will be available this fall and are being assembled
at the U.S. factory in Newnan, Georgia.
