I bet they will soon. just my opinion. Plus what would stop BRP with cost, they already cost more!

The "power steering" unit being used on ATVs isn't proprietary to Yamaha or Honda. It's made and patented by NSK Motion & Control. It can be licensed for use by any ATV manufacturer.

I would like to see the Outlander with it. It really does make a difference on the Yamaha Grizzly. It isn't a gimmick like I thought it was. I mean power steering on an ATV sounds pretty stupid. It really does work though and is one of those things that once you actually try you really see the benefit of.

Like fuel injection I see all manufacturers putting this on their top of the line big bore machines eventually. It really does make a difference especially as machines and tires have gotten bigger and heavier.

well since there isn't such a thing I would say that they won't be using it.</end quote></div>



Do you live under a rock?





Anyways, I agree with the guy above..It isn't a needed thing and will make the bikes cost even more. EPS isn't all its hyped up to be IMO.</end quote></div>
