2012 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition Deluxe Review
The Rhino 700 Sport Edition Deluxe is built on the same principles of its rugged 700FI brother, but with added style.
The one-piece cast aluminum wheels look great and reduce unsprung weight for even more performance. Fully adjustable piggyback shocks let you tailor the ride for load and conditions. Injection-moulded sun top provides shade, over fenders provide increased splash protection, a Baja-inspired front grab bar adds style and function, and bed rails provide convenient cargo tie-down points. And finishing off the look a yellowish metallic grey paint scheme with special graphics that stands out in any crowd.
The Rhino 700 FI Sport Edition comes with adjustable piggyback shocks, sun top, LED taillights, cast aluminum wheels and more.
One piece cast aluminum wheels, adjustable piggyback shocks, over fenders, Baja-inspired front carry bar, injected molded sun top and more make this truly the world's ultimate Rhino.
2012 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition Deluxe Highlights:
- Fuel injected 700 engine
- Custom "yellowish metallic grey" body finish
- Piggyback clicker shocks
- Over fenders
2012 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 Sport Edition Deluxe Key Features:
• 686cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve, fuel injected, 4-stroke single is a proven performer with excellent performance and a great durability record
• Mikuni 41mm throttle body fuel injection provides the precise fuel/air mixture regardless of outside air temperature or altitude for crisp throttle response. Other FI benefits include choke-free cold starting, reduced emissions and great fuel economy.
• The engine's "mid ship" location centralizes mass in the centre of the Rhino for responsive handling and great suspension performance.
• Key operated electric starting and maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
• Four-valve combustion chamber design maximizes breathing efficiency providing a potent combination of low-rpm torque and right-now throttle response.
• Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical engine noise and reduces maintenance.
• Ceramic-composite plated cylinder liner provides reduced friction, excellent heat dissipation, outstanding durability and reduced weight.
• Lightweight forged piston rides on a carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod for great durability.
• Dual engine counterbalancers and rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration for great operator and passenger comfort.
• Easy access, tools free air box makes it simple to service the re-useable foam air filter. The air filter intake is located under the front hood and helps to reduce intake noise for even greater rider and passenger comfort. Plus it is high mounted to avoid water ingestion.
• High capacity aluminium radiator with cooling fan delivers maximum cooling efficiency even during hot slow speed work days.
• Forward mounted aluminium oil cooler maintains consistent lubricant temperatures for great engine durability. Both the main radiator and oil cooler are located high and inboard of the main frame for extra protection.
• Convenient automotive style spin-on oil filter.
• Quiet, full stainless steel exhaust system resists corrosion and features a screen-type spark arrestor to protect the environment.
• Fully automatic Ultramatic™ transmission is the most advanced drive system in the ORV world. Not only is it simple to use . . . select a forward gear, step on the gas pedal and go, but it also provides all wheel downhill engine braking to reduce brake wear while providing great control. The key feature of Yamaha's exclusive Ultramatic CVT system is the V-belt is under constant tension (unlike a snowmobile CVT) and therefore provides superior no-slip performance, instant hook-up and significantly reduced belt wear.
• Easy to use, console mounted "automotive style" shift lever … just like on a car.
• Fully automatic "Ultramatic" CVT (constantly variable transmission) offers reverse, neutral, high and low ranges. The low range mode improves towing power while also improving "terrainability" in difficult conditions.
• Sealed CVT belt case keeps out water and debris to help prevent belt slippage and wear. Convenient no tools required belt case drain plug … just in case.
• CVT cooling ducts (intake and exhaust) are high-mounted to help prevent water and mud from entering the CVT system while also keeping CVT components cool. Special fan design on the primary clutch sheave also reduces CVT temperatures for extended belt life
• Straight design front and rear drive shafts provide more efficient power delivery and eliminate the need for "U" joints. The drive shafts exit on a straight line from the engine to the differentials
• Servo-controlled "On-Command" system allows you to switch between various drive modes including 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked 4WD (both front & rear diff locked) - all with a turn of a convenient dash mounted knob. Yamaha's "On-Command" system puts you in total control... you decide which is the best drive mode for the terrain ... not the machine.
• Dash mounted "On-Command" knob and indicator light lets you know what mode you are in.
• Lightweight, compact front differential
• Full square and round tube steel frame is rugged and durable.
• Independent double "A" arm front and rear suspension provides excellent ride comfort
• Adjustable heavy duty "piggy-back" shocks. Front shocks feature spring preload adjustability, 4-way compression and 4-way rebound damping adjustability. Rear shocks feature spring preload adjustability, 11-way compression and 18-way rebound damping adjustability.
• Front and rear wheel travel is 185mm or 7.3"
• Minimum ground clearance is 280mm or 11" for great terrainability
• A single automotive-style brake pedal activates the front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. This 4 wheel disc brake system provides outstanding stopping performance in a variety of conditions. All four discs are tucked inside the rims to prevent damage from rocks, stumps etc.
• Dual 200mm front and dual 185mm rear disc brakes squeezed by twin piston calipers provide excellent stopping power
• Parking brake system utilizes a drive shaft mounted disc located inboard just behind the engine.
• Convenient console mounted automatic-style parking brake lever with dash board warning light
• Aggressive AT25X8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear tires provide excellent off road traction in a wide variety of conditions
• Stylish yet rugged one piece cast aluminium mag wheels.
• Heavy duty 4 ply design increases puncture resistance and tire stiffness
• Note: although these tires look like ATV tires they have a much higher load rating than a standard ATV tire.
• "Tilt able" cargo bed can pack a total of 181 kgs or 400lbs of payload. The inner panels and floor of the bed are high impact plastic to resist dents and rust.
• Convenient single lever tilt design … makes dumping heavy loads easy
• Four tie down points inside the bed for added load security
• Convenient automotive "control" layout. Shifter, parking brake, gas and brake pedals and keyed ignition are just like on a car, for ease of use and familiarity
• Light, responsive rack-and-pinion steering features a fully sealed steering column and double U-jointed steering linkage for smooth, easy operation.
• Operator and passenger seat belts
• Multiple grab handles for added passenger security on rough terrain
• Rear brake lights
• Rugged roto-moulded doors and hip supports / restraints on seat edges
• Sporty design sun top
• Rugged plastic over fenders keep the mud and dirt where it belongs … on the trail

• Dash board mounted glove box and small item "cubby hole" in front section of console
• Seat belt and helmet reminder lights on dash board
• Convenient console mounted dual cup holders
• Full length 3 piece high impact plastic skid plate protects the Rhino 700 from rocks, stumps, etc.
• Smooth surface design of the skid plates allows the Rhino 700 to slide more easily over obstacles.
• High impact plastic CV boot guards mounted to front & rear "A" arms help to reduce CV boot damage
• Durable polyethylene CV boots for tear and weather resistance
• Easy to read digital LCD instrument with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters and fuel gauge.
