Kawasaki strong and backed by a three-year limited warranty, this machine is built for fun in the trail. Getting a good friend or family member to fill the passenger means at least two will make memories in this 4WD, 783cc, CVT-driven rig. The fuel-injected mill breathes through twin 36mm Mikuni throttle bodies and is easy starting. The power delivery is smooth but ready to go when you step on the pedal. The Kawasaki Teryx CVT belt drive also provides automatic engine-braking for those downhill trails that seem to be a bit steep. This also helps stabilize loads on uneven terrain.
Fully assembled in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Kawasaki Teryx also features a suspension with that gives riders more comfort as well as the ability to tune the ride on the trail. The Fox Podium 2.0 shocks are ready to be tweaked to your ride style and with more than 11 inches of ground clearance the mastery of terrain is in your hands. The high-back fully bolstered seating also provides comfort for the rough spots and they are color-matched to the machine for that added custom look.
Even though many would think of this machine as a trail princess the fact is that the towing capacity is pretty substantial at 1,300 pounds and a hefty 600 pounds in the cargo bed of the Teryx. Work is well within the 2019 Kawasaki Teryx’s wheelhouse and it’s always good to be able invest in a tool that is fun as well. When pulling heavy loads, the Teryx is also ready to stop them with dual hydraulic discs with twin-piston calipers up front and a sealed wet brake in the rear. The rear brake system is housed in the rear differential, so it is not affected by the elements. This simply means you always have brakes.
There are several versions of the 2019 Kawasaki Teryx, starting at a base price of $12,999. One thing to note is that even the base Teryx comes with EPS (Electronic Power Steering) standard. This could possibly be the best feature offered in a base price, in the industry! Although the base Teryx is only offered in Bright White, you can choose from the Realtree Xtra Camo version at a price tag of $14,299 or two different limited-edition models. The Candy Steel Furnace Orange will set you back $14,999 while a very popular Matrix Camo Gray gets many looks for only $15,199. Either way you are getting a fun as well as reliable machine to make memories down the trail.
