The ultimate big bore sport ATV.

The all-conquering 2013 Yamaha Raptor 700R still reigns supreme as the king of all handling and terrain taming performance. Loyal subjects take note, the 2013 Raptor 700R is now assembled in the USA.

A massive, quick -revving 686cc fuel injected, 4-valve, liquid-cooled motor, for monstrous torque at virtually any point in the RPM curve.

A silky-smooth 5-speed manual transmission, with the added convenience of reverse. An exclusive hybrid steel and aluminum frame, with cast-aluminum subframe and aluminum rear swing arm for an amazing power-to-weight ratio and handling that’s second to none. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes, now with a new twin piston rear caliper that works with the twin piston calipers up front, to provide even better overall braking feel.

For 2013, the Raptor’s new styling gives it an even more aggressive appearance and also adds even more knee room, so a wide range of riders can comfortably move around.

2013 Yamaha Raptor 700R Key Features:

•Powered by our most potent big-bore Raptor engine ever – 686cc of liquid cooled, fuel-injected power. The engine produces big torque right off idle, transitioning into a fat mid-range and monstrous top-end.
•New aggressive styling makes the Raptor 700R look as menacing as it really is. The mighty Raptor 700R is ready to go whether the destination is the dunes, the trails or the track.
•Big power and lightweight, a combination that makes any ATV rider take notice, is standard on the Raptor 700R, with a hybrid steel aluminum frame and Controlled-Fill aluminum sub-frame and cast aluminum swingarm combining to produce a superstrong structure and the lightest ATV in its class.
•A thick comfortable seat, adjustable suspension with sport-tuned piggyback shocks provide excellent comfort while the dual counterbalancers, electric starting, and reverse keep things nice and civilized when needed, but when it comes time to pull the trigger the big-bore Raptor 700R stands tall.
•The YFZ inspired handling of the Raptor 700R is incredible to experience blasting through the woods. Thanks to the 9.1 inches of front travel and 10.1 inches out back, the trail bumps smooth out while the rider keeps things under control. With the combination of power, solid handling, and a great suspension this machine has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
