Kawasaki Brute Force 4x4 750 4x4 Utility ATV Review |
Wampum, PA (10/20/2011) - ATVriders.com
was recently invited to review the new 2012 Kawasaki
Brute Force 300 utility ATV during its press event
held at the Mines and Meadows riding facility
located in Wampum, PA. The launch of this model
would propel Kawasaki back into the 300 class
with a brand new 2wd machine targeted at the entry
level while replacing the aging Bayou 250 line.
At first glance, you would dismiss the new
Brute Force 300 as that of its 750 big brother
as Kawasaki set the styling directly after the
big bore model. Closer inspection revealed the
scaled down look, however attention was paid
to making the machine appear and feel bigger
then it is. Fit and finish of the fenders, seat
and fuel tank all were seamless and integrated
well.

The
new 2012 Kawasaki Brute Force 300 ATV
has very similar stying to its big brother
the Brute Force 750 4x4 |

The
Kawasaki Brute Force 300 foot wells offers
large water drainage holes & the front
& rear fenders provide ample protection
from the elements |
The Kawasaki Brute Force 300 comes off as a mid
size platform which should help its intended market
blend in with anything on the market while offering
a small bore entry level comfort. Ergonomics are
well thought out and even riders over 6 feet tall
had no issues comfortably fitting and riding the
machine. Ample foot wells have raised and integrated
pegs that do a good job of protecting the riders
feet without cramping from the built in mud protection
that is affluent throughout the ATV's design.

Features available on this model far out weigh
what we have become accustomed to when we think
of a base entry model and should help sell the
machine. A digital dash board that reads easy
is a welcome addition. Speed, Trip Odometer
and both fuel and temperature are all displayed
on a very easy to read layout.
The Brute Force
also features a 12 volt power outlet that will
allow use of any 12 volt accessory that has
a cigarette lighter style plug is also factory
installed. Standard grips and bars out fit the
unit however a new style parking brake graces
the bars that worked very well during out tests.
