YAMAHA VIKING EPS
It can be tough when you’re working outdoors all-year round. You need the best equipment and the hardest working partners to get the job done. So it’s time to consider how the Viking can make your life a little easier!
Functionality, durability and all-terrain ability.
The spacious 3-seat layout and walk-through floor ensure a comfortable and safe drive every time for you and your colleagues. Its double wishbone suspension is ready to take on the most rugged terrain – while the Euro-pallet sized tipping cargo bed can carry loads up to 272 kg.
Equipped with our On-Command® drive system with 2WD, 4WD and 4WD with Diff Lock and powered by a high-torque 686cc engine, the 3-seater Viking could be the best purchase you ever made!
Features
High-torque 686cc engine: The high-torque 686cc single-cylinder engine produces plenty of controllable power for effective off-road transportation. For added confidence on slippery downhill slopes the Ultramatic® transmission features an engine braking function – while the 2WD, 4WD and Diff Lock modes can be quickly selected to suit different surface conditions.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): The reliable 686cc 4-stroke single-cylinder engine features an advanced Electronic Fuel Injection system that ensures efficient combustion for good throttle response. Together with the forged piston and pent roof combustion chamber design, the EFO enables the Viking engine to produce gutsy torque at low rpm with strong high rpm performance.
3 mode On-Command® system: The Viking is designed to be used on a variety of surfaces and the 3 mode On Command® systems offers 2WD, 4WD or 4WD with Diff lock options to suit different terrain and weather conditions. The simple rotary type switch enables the driver to select their chosen drive mode in seconds.
Front and rear double wishbone suspension: For responsive handling combined with a comfortable ride for all three people on board, the Viking is equipped with independent double wishbone suspension at the front and the rear. This rugged system allows each wheel to follow the terrain and maintain traction on extremely rough ground, allowing you to traverse extreme landscapes.
3-seater / Walk through floor: The low noise cabin features an innovative 3-seat layout with a central seat inclined 5 degrees further back than the outer seats, giving each passenger more arm and shoulder room. There’s also the flat walk-through floor that gives easy access and also allows the driver to step in from either side.
Conveniently positioned controls: For easy operation the Viking is equipped with a central instrument console, while the electric starter switch, shift lever and handbrake are located to the right of the 3-spoke steering wheel. And for added comfort and safety there’s a foot space partition to prevent the central passenger’s feet from interfering with the driver’s feet.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS): Even with three passengers and a full cargo load on board, the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) ensures that the steering feels light even when fully laden or when driven in heavily soils like clay. When 4WD with Diff lock is selected the EPS switches automatically to a second programme designed to optimise the steering characteristics.
Easy maintenance:Â The Viking has been designed to be robust and easy to maintain with the location of the engine beneath the cargo bed making it possible to gain access to the powerplant in seconds. Together with the easily accessible front-mounted components located under the hood lid, the Viking’s design ensures that routine service times and costs are competitive.
