“From additional parental control features, to a comfortable and stylish design, our 2017 lineup of youth ATVs provide options suitable for a wide range of skill levels among our youngest riders,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha ATV / SxS group marketing manager. “With the all-new YFZ50 and Raptor 90, parents can feel confident introducing their children to the off-road world this holiday season.”

The YFZ50’s low-maintenance 49.4cc engine with automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers entry-level performance and a confidence-inspiring ride for those aged 6-years and up. For new riders developing their skills, the YFZ50 is designed with parental control features including adjustable RPM and throttle limiters, as well as a tether switch capable of shutting off the engine from a pull-string, if needed. Built to Yamaha quality and reliability standards, parents will know their growing riders are learning aboard best-in-class ATVs. 

For riders 10 and up, the Yamaha Raptor 90 is also equipped with a CVT transmission, yet steps up the power with an 89.9cc engine providing versatility on the trails while maintaining a smooth and comfortable operation. The Raptor 90 adopts additional features to augment performance including single A-arm front suspension, mono-shock swingarm rear suspension, 18-inch tires with lightweight matte black wheels, as well as a wider seat and floorboards allowing room to grow.
