2024 Yamaha Raptor 110

Essentially last year’s Raptor 90 plus fuel injection—a rarity in the class—and a few minor tweaks. Looks like the mighty (and $10,000-plus) Yamaha Raptor 700R. Roomy and upright riding position. Fully automatic CVT. Electric start with a kickstart backup. Fuel capacity rises slightly this year. Ditching the carburetor allowed Yamaha to make the model 50-state legal.

Running lights are just for show and don’t actually function. The three drum brakes work well enough and help keep cost down, but they’re still not discs.

A solid, sporty, and good-looking entry ATV aimed at riders ages 10 and up. Like the Raptor 90, the 110 is the perfect size and power for small humans looking to gain skills and confidence on four wheels.

The 2024 Raptor 110 isn’t the smallest ATV in the Yamaha line—that honor belongs to the 50cc YFZ50, which retails for $2,349. That said, it’s a good step up from that machine and a fine tool for developing young riders. The 110cc single driving the rear wheels is basically the 90cc single from the Raptor 90, bored out a bit and gifted FI, which makes sense, because the rest of this cute little rig is a Raptor 90 in all but name and minor detail.

The Raptor 110 is a new model for 2024.

2024 Yamaha Raptor 110: $3,599

The 110 is available in only one trim. Bodywork can be had in one of two colors: Team Yamaha Blue or Cyan Blue (aka teal).

The Raptor’s 112cc four-stroke SOHC air-cooled fuel-injected electric-start single is a modified version of the carbureted single from the outgoing Raptor 90. It features a bore of 52.4mm—a whopping 5.4mm larger than the 90′s, and where Yamaha’s engineers found the added 20cc. Stroke remains the same, at 51.8mm, and the 9.2:1 compression ratio is unchanged. Fuel delivery is by Yamaha Fuel Injection and a 22mm throttle. The engine is tuned for low-end and midrange torque. The rear wheels are driven by a fully automatic CVT and an O-ring chain. No shifting is required, and a reverse gear is standard.

Youth ATVs are built mostly for durability and safe learning, and the Raptor 110 is no different. The Yamaha’s 40.6-inch wheelbase is long for the class but helps give better-than-average stability at speed. The front and rear suspensions are adjustable for preload, and the low-profile Duro tires offer perfectly adequate grip. Suspension travel is a modest 5.0 inches up front and 5.7 in the rear. The 287.5-pound wet weight is a mere 8.5 pounds heavier than that of the Raptor 90.

Two drums up front and one in the rear. Much like carburetors, drums are common on youth ATVs and generally enough for the riders and speeds involved. That said, fuel injection is a step forward for the smallest Raptor, and hydraulic discs would be as well.

Comfort is the point here, the better to get young riders acclimated and keep them happy and riding. (No 10-year-old will be cranking a machine like this across Baja, after all.) To that end, the Yamaha’s floorboards are wide and roomy, and its cushy seat is relatively low. The wide handlebars feature a slight rearward bend, giving nice leverage and a generally upright riding position.

Sport ATVs are not rated for cargo and towing.

Don’t get too excited about the Raptor 110′s face—those headlights are just for show and don’t actually function. If your whippersnapper wants to ride at night, you’ll have to hit the aftermarket.

An electric start is standard here, and the handlebars hold indicator lights for neutral and reverse. Next to the Raptor 90, the 110 also gains two warning lights, one for the engine and one for low fuel. The battery is sealed and low-maintenance, and the electric starter is backed up by a kickstart lever stored under the seat.

Basic maintenance is simple: The Raptor 110′s air filter is easily reached and replaceable without tools, and the two driveline oil fillers (transmission and engine) are conveniently located just inside the Yamaha’s right floorboard. Expect the fuel-injection system to offer longer service intervals and easier storage prep than any carburetor, including the one on the Raptor 90.

The 2024 Yamaha Raptor 110 comes with a six-month limited factory warranty.
