The five-valve cylinder head design enhances airflow and combustion efficiency, contributing to the engine's impressive output. These models incorporate a five-speed transmission with a reverse gear, enabling smooth gear transitions and versatile handling in various off-road conditions.

The chassis of the Raptor models is constructed from a hybrid steel and aluminum frame, providing a balance of strength and reduced weight. The suspension system consists of independent double wishbones with fully adjustable shocks in the front and a cast aluminum swingarm with a fully adjustable shock in the rear. This setup ensures superior handling, comfort, and stability over rough terrain.

Braking is handled by dual hydraulic disc brakes in the front and a single hydraulic disc brake in the rear, delivering reliable stopping power. The ATVs feature Maxxis tires mounted on lightweight aluminum wheels, enhancing traction and durability. The ergonomics of the YFM7RZ and YFM7RSEZ are tailored for rider comfort and control, with a comfortable seat, well-positioned handlebars, and strategically placed footpegs.
