Four-Stroke
Liquid-cooled Engine
Liquid-cooled 271cc
four-stroke engine is designed for smooth
power and optimum longevity
SOHC engine is dimensionally
arranged and tuned for an emphasis on
low-end and mid-range power, the rpm
range in which it will be used most.
This power delivery makes the unit easier
to control and ideal for utility and
sporting roles
Engine produces 20-plus
horsepower and substantial torque, which
ups the sporting and hauling quotients
considerably
Kawasaki Secondary
Air system helps minimize emissions,
allowing the Brute Force 300 to clear
strict EPA and CARB standards
Polished balancer
gear teeth result in precise gear meshing,
which contributes to low engine noise
Air-cleaner duct opening
is located high on the chassis, under
the handle cover, which helps prevent
water, mud, etc. from getting in
CVT
and Centrifugal Clutch
System offers an ideal
combination of riding ease and control,
especially for first-time ATV riders
This CVT is based
on the same general design used on our
flagship ATV – the Brute Force
750 4x4i EPS
Transmission and belt
converter ratios were selected for optimum
power delivery and the speed range appropriate
for a smaller-displacement ATV
Ratios provide the
ideal amount of engine braking for this
class of machine, which makes riding
the Brute Force 300 easier in tricky
situations
High-strength CVT
belt provides a large degree of durability
and longevity
Bevel gear surfaces
benefit from a carbon-nitriding process
(and shot-peening treatment) for maximum
durability and longevity
The CVT intake duct
is located high on the chassis (under
the tail) which helps prevent mud and
water getting in
Handy reverse gear
makes slow-speed maneuvering easy
Sporty
Yet Durable Chassis
Steel-tube
frame is lightweight and durable, and
will withstand a pounding for years
of utility or sporty riding
Chassis
hallmarks include excellent handling
and straight-line stability, capable
cornering characteristics via the wide
track, and minimal bump-steer
Long
A-arms and rear axle give the Brute
Force 300 one of the widest tracks in
its class, which contributes to its
ride comfort and exemplary handling
manners
Front
track width is 850mm, while the rear
track width is 830mm
Front-to-rear
chassis balance is optimized for stable
cornering and maximum controllability
Steering
geometry and front and rear suspension
settings have been coordinated and optimized
for ideal balance, control and stability
Optimized
chassis tuning also contributes to light
handling manners at slower speeds, where
this
Bodywork and ‘Big ATV’
Styling
The Brute Force 300’s
durable bodywork was styled after that
of Kawasaki’s larger, category-leading
Brute Force siblings
Flush surface fit
between the tank, seat and body panels
contributes to comfort while aboard
as well as a high-quality finish
Large-volume bodywork
(especially the fenders) gives the Brute
Force 300 the size of an ATV one class
larger, which adds value
Triple
Disc Brakes
Dual 180mm hydraulically
activated disc brakes with single-piston
calipers provide front wheels with prodigious
stopping power
A third 180mm disc
with a similar caliper is featured in
back
A cable-operated parking
brake system is also included for extra
security when necessary
Optimized master cylinder
ratios offer riders an ideal braking
balance between front and rear brakes
Grippy
and Durable Off-road Tires
These traction-maximized
tires were developed jointly between
Maxxis and Kawasaki
Featuring optimized
off-road grip and durability, these
tires offer a blend of performance that’s
hard to beat
Carrying
and Towing Performance
Equipped with
robust carrying racks front and rear,
the Brute Force 300 can carry 44 pounds
of gear up front and 66 pounds in back
Towing capacity
is a substantial 500 pounds
Behind
the front grill is space (and a mounting
bracket) for a Warn® winch, which
greatly improves the unit’s utility
and safety
Convenient
Storage
Front storage compartment
is large enough to hold four 16.9-oz.
bottles – more than the Brute
Force 750 4x4’s front compartment
A side pocket built
into the right fender offers additional
storage for smaller items
Digital
Instrumentation
Quality digital instrumentation
console is ideally positioned and easy
to read
Features include:
Speedometer, trip meter, fuel and temperature
gauges, clock, and neutral/reverse/high-beam
indicators
Mud
Resistance
The Brute Force 300
features a combination of footpegs and
floorboards. The height difference between
them is minimized to ensure rider comfort
and greater freedom for foot placement
The floorboards contribute
to mud protection, while the holes in
the floorboards are just large enough
to prevent mud being trapped beneath
the rider’s feet
Small flaps on the
front fenders, near the front of the
floorboards, further protect the rider
from mud and debris
Front inner fenders
help prevent mud from entering and clogging
the engine compartment
