Abstract

An all terrain vehicle may include a frame and a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame. Each of the plurality of ground-engaging members may be configured to rotate about an axle. The all terrain vehicle may further include a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and a braking system (e.g., an anti-lock braking system (ABS)) including a hydraulic and electric controller unit (HECU) operably coupled to the plurality of ground-engaging members and configured to generate yaw to reduce a turning radius of the all terrain vehicle. The HECU may be configured to control brake pressure to the plurality of ground-engaging members independent of a driver input indicating a braking event.
