The KFX®700
all-terrain vehicle (ATV) continues to
be a hit with off-roaders for obvious
reason. It’s the winning formula
of Kawasaki’s powerful V-twin engine
and automatic transmission coupled with
a racing-style chassis, which adds up
to a sport ATV offering aggressive all-day
riding that is fun and easy for a wide
range of riders.
At the heart of the KFX700’s appeal
is its engine. The liquid-cooled, 697cc,
four-stroke, 90-degree V-twin is matched
to a performance-tuned continuously variable
automatic transmission. The combination
eliminates shifting concerns because it’s
in the optimum powerband at all times.
This allows the rider to focus even more
attention on choosing good lines, whether
it’s on the race track or trail.
Other features include shaft drive, powerful
dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s
sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake
system. The KFX700 also features a single
lower front frame tube –designed
using lessons learned from cross-country
ATV racing –to increase suspension
travel and improve handling.
Up front the dual A-arms feature 9.3
inches of travel while providing optimum
handling with minimal “tire scrub”
during up-and-down suspension travel.
Rear suspension duties are handled by
an alloy swingarm with a piggy-back reservoir
shock and 7.9 inches of travel. The KFX700
is shod with the ITP® Holeshot®
tires to gain maximum traction and maneuverability.
Rounding out the features list on the
KFX700 are sport-style serrated footpegs,
a protective engine skid plate and powerful
45-watt headlights.
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available
through Kawasaki dealers.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation,
Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride
responsibly and to respect the environment.
Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of
a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing
an ATV rider safety course conducted by
the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested
consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
