  • Specially designed low-profile tires deliver outstanding traction for razor-sharp handling in a variety of terrain.
  • Easy-adjust chain adjustment feature means hassle-free chain maintenance.
  • Composite skid plates and 4.5-inch ground clearance (measured at the rear disc) means maximum underbelly protection.
  • Composite front grab bar won’t dent or rust and protects from debris and damage.
 Additional Features:
  • Dual 30-watt multi-reflector halogen headlights straight off the potent YFZ450 add the perfect menacing appearance. Taillight has an incorporated brake light for added convenience.
  • Easy-access grease fittings on all chassis lubrication points simplify maintenance and help extend the life of the Raptor 350.
