Prairie 360 Camo Rugged, Reliable 4x4
Performance
The do-it-all characteristics of the
2011 Kawasaki Prairie® 360 4x4 ATV
are improved even further with a stealthy
coating of Realtree® APG™ HD®
camouflage. This innovative pattern melts
into the environment, helping outdoor
enthusiasts get to their favorite hunting
ground or riverbank without disturbing
the locals.
The Prairie 360 4x4 features a reliable
combination of a 362cc air-cooled, single
cylinder, four-stroke engine, continuously
variable transmission (CVT) and reliable
shaft drive. The CVT enables the engine
to operate in its optimal rpm range, providing
maximum torque regardless of speed or
riding conditions and offers high and
low forward gears plus reverse.
If additional traction is needed, the
rider can send power to all four wheels
at the flip of a switch. A limited-slip
front differential helps keep steering
light and precise, even in four-wheel
drive. In extreme conditions, the rider
can use Kawasaki’s Variable Front
Differential Control lever send power
to both front wheels. Once maximum traction
is no longer needed, the rider simply
releases the lever — a simple and
effective system.
Stopping power on the Prairie 360 4x4
is provided by a combination of dual front
disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed,
oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system.
Further speed control is provided by the
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses
engine compression and CVT belt pressure
to help slow the ATV under certain conditions.
The MacPherson strut front suspension
and a single-shock aluminum swingarm rear
suspension give the Prairie 360 4x4 a
supple ride with 6.7 and 7.1 inches of
travel front and rear, respectively. A
large, comfortable saddle and full-sized
floorboards with adjustable footpegs further
maximize rider comfort.
Its steel front and rear cargo racks
can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds.
Other conveniences include powerful dual
halogen headlights, and a hitch bracket
that is standard, permitting the rider
to tow 1,100 pounds — the highest
towing capacity in its class. Owners can
expand the versatility of their Prairie
ATV via the extensive line of Authentic
Kawasaki Accessories, 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.
