- A large-capacity aluminum radiator provides maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in frame for optimal protection.
- Easy-access, tool-free air filter simplifies changing and cleaning.

Chassis/Suspension:

- A wet weight of 550 pounds means the Wolverine 450 runs right with the big sport dogs.
- Low-maintenance shaft drives provide near-bulletproof strength and reliability.
- Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power.
- 23 x 8-12 front and 23 x 10-12 rear radial sport tires serve up great traction and quick, light handling.
