2013 Yamaha Raptor 90 Review

Who's your daddy? A legend...

Directly decended from the award-winning Raptor 700R, the Raptor 90's rugged 4-stroke engine gives the full auto CVT transmission some major get up and go go go.

For kids 12 years and older, the Raptor 90 is an excellent machine to start learning on.

Powered by a reliable 88cc air-cooled four-stroke engine coupled to a fully automatic CVT transmission, the Raptor 90 is not only easy to use, but can accommodate various levels of riding ability. And there's an adjustable rev limiter to help you manage their learning curve.

Other features to help ensure they won't get bored or outgrow this Raptor right away include:

- double wishbone front suspension with 4.4" of travel
- swing-arm rear suspension with 3.3" of travel
- pre-load adjustable shocks
- rear hydraulic disc brake
- dual sealed drum front brakes
- integrated full floorboards
- moulded front grab bar just like the Raptor 700 R
- low profile Maxxis tires
- true Raptor 700 R styling

Hit the trails. Bring the family. Make memories.

2013 Yamaha Raptor 90 Features and Benefits:

• The go-getter 88cc, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve engine is tuned to develop excellent low-to-mid-range performance, just where it’s needed. Engine is force-air cooled for performance and long engine life, and it uses simple, reliable wet-sump lubrication.
