The recreational
sport vehicle world will never be the same again.
A new breed has evolved with a mix of working
UTV traits and sportier ATV genes — the
Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 4x4. This new full-sized
RSV is the first to have V-twin power and combines
its Kawasaki heritage of efficient CVT and integrated
occupant protection with superior ground clearance,
cargo capacity, and sport handling to become
the top performing RSV on the market. The Teryx
750 4x4 is all about recreation, yet it retains
enough of its working heritage to offer amazing
versatility and handy features for tackling
everyday tasks.
At the core of the Teryx 750 4x4 is its strong
and proven 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, the
same engine that gives the Brute Force®
750 4x4 its distinguished high performance.
The mid-chassis mounted engine gives the Teryx
750 4x4 a displacement and V-twin torque advantage
over its contemporaries and delivers the performance
that RSV customers have been seeking. Mated
to the engine is Kawasaki’s superb constant
velocity automatic transmission (CVT), which
transfers the power from the big V-twin to the
wheels smoothly and quickly. The output of the
duo provides a true sport performance, yet in
a controlled manner that allows the driver to
harness the full potential of the Teryx 750
4x4.
Naturally, big power demands a chassis to compliment
it and once again the Teryx delivers with an
ideal width body – narrow enough to be
useful and able to navigate the trail but wide
enough to be stable and handle the healthy output
from the V-twin. Its large-diameter, thin-walled
tubular frame offers the necessary rigidity
without performance draining weight, and all
in an arrangement spacious enough to fit two
adults comfortably.
The Teryx 750 4x4 shares the long A-arm and
narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to
give it the maximum travel while minimizing
wheel camber change. Featuring adjustable Kayaba
suspension with gas-charged shocks, the sport-performance
focused suspension of the Teryx 750 4x4 is designed
to remain controlled even at top speed.
When the terrain requires it, the driver can
activate 4WD with a simple servo-control switch.
Further traction management is achieved via
an ATV-style front differential control activated
with a hand lever that functions like a rear
hand brake and lets the driver select how much
the wheels are locked together. The rear wheels
stay locked and always turn together —
much like a sport ATV — allowing the Teryx
to slide around corners easier in a drift style.
It continues its dominance in the field with
new 26-inch Maxxis tires developed specifically
for the Teryx 750 4x4 that enable superb forward
and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good
rough terrain handling and contribute to its
class leading ground clearance and ability to
overcome obstacles.
A fast RSV would not be good without having
equally capable stopping power and Teryx 750
4x4 delivers. It employs a combination of dual
200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake
in the rear. The front brakes are tucked into
the wheels for protection from debris and their
27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted
for optimum feel and control. The advantage
of the sealed rear brake is most apparent when
it’s able to keep working even in the
wettest or muddiest of environments.
Featuring bucket seats and retractable three-point
seat belts that keep the driver and passenger
strapped in snugly, the Teryx 750 4x4 also has
plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a
comfortable ride. It also has foot guards designed
into the steel floor boards and body along with
a padded steering wheel that is positioned low
for better control.
However, the Teryx 750 4x4 isn’t all
play and no work. It is equipped with a 500-pound
capacity cargo bed that is ideal for recreational
users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling
with tie down hooks in all four corners and
comes with a cargo net to keep the goods secure.
The Teryx 750 4x4 can also pull the load with
its 1300-pound towing capacity.
