Yamaha 2007 Rhino 660 and Rhino 450 Automatic Side-Side Vehicles

The Yamaha Rhino 660 and Rhino 450 Automatic Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles may be categorized as “utility vehicles” but just get behind the wheel or buckle into the passenger seat to see it’s much more than a simple workhorse.  Rhino SxS vehicles function at a high capacity as a work or leisure vehicle on the farm, ranch or in the most remote back-woods hunting areas. 

Reliability and off-road capability are two important features on every Rhino SxS.  The Rhino is a proven, nimble machine, able to traverse the same terrain as an ATV, and with the industry’s only 3-point seat belt that holds both driver and passenger snug into their bucket seats.  Adding to the Rhino’s terrainability is the Yamaha exclusive On-Command® push button 2WD/4WD system with differential lock, which gives the driver options when it comes to matching machine to terrain.  Fully adjustable, and fully-independent, the front and rear dual A-arm suspension offers more than 7.3” of travel.  Combine that with the 12.1” of ground clearance and there’s practically nothing that the Rhino can’t tackle. 

Getting the Rhino up and at ‘em is as easy as turning the ignition key, while choosing the best gear for your adventure is done with the automotive-style gear shifter located on the center console.  Yamaha’s ultra-reliable Ultramatic® automatic transmission system transfers the power to the wheels and then to the trail, all you have to do is get on the gas pedal.  

The Ultramatic system keeps constant tension on the drive belt to avoid unnecessary wear and tear as well as eliminate “freewheeling,” which is sometimes felt on other machines.  The result is industry leading all-wheel engine braking – a must when heading down steep hills with a full load. 

When it comes to braking duties, at your service is the automotive-style brake pedal controlling twin piston, dual hydraulic discs up front and a shaft-mounted, self-adjusting hydraulic disc in the rear.  If you plan on staying awhile, the easy-to-operate parking brake located on the center console is willing and able to keep you put.   

The digital LCD multi-function display meter features a speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, hour meter, clock, fuel gauge and gear position display.  Of course, with a 7.9 gallon fuel tank, you will surely be more focused on enjoying the day-long ride than watching your gas gauge.
