CYPRESS, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A. is proud to announce that its “Real World Tough” Grizzly 700 FI EPS is the best selling big bore ATV in Alaska.

To celebrate, Yamaha is partnering with Cabela’s as the official outfitter and is giving three lucky winners the “real world” adventure of a lifetime with an all expense paid trip for two to one of the world’s toughest ATV testing grounds.

The adventure package, worth $9,200 per winner, will be full of scenic Grizzly ATV rides, guided trips to Alaska’s best fishing spots, a $500 Cabela’s gift card and much more. Three runners up will each receive a $250 Cabela’s gift card.

“The Grizzly 700 is absolutely the toughest big bore ATV out there – a claim proven over and over by third party studies and our own customers,” said Steve Nessl, marketing manager for Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group.

“Three lucky winners of our Alaskan Adventure Sweepstakes are going to get to experience Grizzly durability and reliability first hand in the Alaskan outback courtesy of Yamaha.”

Proving the Grizzly is “Real World Tough,” a recent third party study by ADP Lightspeed showed that Yamaha has the most durable belt driven drivetrain in the industry – a critical feature in Alaska’s remote areas. Combine this durability with top-of-the-line features like Electric Power Steering (EPS), fuel injection, Ultramatic automatic transmission, On-Command® push-button four-wheel-drive, four wheel independent suspension and much more, the big Grizzly is not only the toughest but also the most off-road capable ATV in its class.

CYPRESS, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., the leading maker of ATV and Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles for outdoorsmen, has partnered with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) to help support its mission of ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat.

Through the partnership, Yamaha becomes the exclusive sponsor for the RMEF’s “Ride Right” program that delivers safe, responsible outdoors recommendations through BUGLE magazine, the foundation’s official publication.

“Yamaha is proud to partner with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and their efforts to communicate safe, responsible messages to sportsmen,” said Steve Nessl, marketing manager for Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group.

“Yamaha is the leading ATV manufacturer involved in the outdoors industry, and the Ride Right campaign perfectly aligns with our goals of fostering responsible public messages and ensuring lasting access to our public lands.”

Yamaha will also join the RMEF Great Elk Tour and give away a Grizzly 700 FI EPS ATV in Realtree AP HD camo (MSPR: $9,499) to support RMEF membership and fundraising campaigns.

“Anyone can enter to win the ATV at any of our 2012 Great Elk Tour stops at sports and outdoor shows around the country,” said Steve Decker, vice president of marketing for RMEF. “Information about the tour is at www.greatelktour.org. We thank Yamaha for giving RMEF supporters an opportunity to win a great prize, and for supporting conservation.”

Yamaha, through its relationships with organizations such as RMEF, Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International, Buckmasters, NWTF and NHF Day, among others, is a continued supporter of conservation efforts for outdoor recreational enthusiasts. Not only does Yamaha support critical outdoors conservation programs, but it also runs its own program – the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative – which has GRANTed nearly $2 million toward supporting safe, responsible riding and open, sustainable riding areas since 2008.

The Great Elk Tour is the Elk Foundation’s premier traveling conservation exhibit showcasing mounts of some of the largest bull elk in the world. The display offers a better understanding of the habitat needs of these animals and how supporting the Elk Foundation helps conserve elk country.
