All passengers have a three-point seatbelt for riding comfort, and extensive noise and vibration reduction measures for a quiet ride.

Torquey 700-Class Engine: The Viking VI EPS Ranch Edition comes equipped with Yamaha’s powerful 686cc engine featuring a broad, usable powerband that’s perfect for working hard or playing hard. Liquid-cooling provides consistent performance, and the four-valve head with 10.0:1 compression delivers optimum torque for virtually any workload.

Responsive and Reliable Ultramatic® Transmission: Ultramatic® transmission with dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse is the most advanced drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced wear, and the system features a sprag clutch for all-wheel downhill engine braking in 4WD mode and reverse. Backed by Yamaha’s unmatched 10-Year Belt Warranty, owners can be confident they’re driving the most trusted transmission in the industry.

On-Command® 4WD: Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD.

The chassis design includes a convenient pass-through floor for greater ease of movement, making it possible to enter and exit the vehicle from either side. The rear cargo bed is made of steel and is designed for a hefty load capacity of 600 pounds.

ENGINE

Torquey 700-Class Engine: The Viking VI EPS Ranch Edition comes equipped with Yamaha’s powerful 686cc engine featuring a broad, usable powerband that’s perfect for working hard or playing hard.

Yamaha Electronic Fuel Injection: Electronic Fuel Injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts and smooth throttle response.
