The KingQuad brand has
always been about a strong chassis that
delivers superior comfort and utility
performance. For 2008, that is still true
with the new KingQuad 750AXi 4x4. The
new name explains the KingQuad’s
utility strengths. The “A”
is for Automatic, as in Suzuki QuadMatic
automatic continuously variable transmission.
The “X” is for the KingQuad’s
independent rear suspension. And the “i”
reminds everyone of this ATV’s Suzuki
fuel injection system.
With fully independent suspension front
and rear, the 2008 KingQuad delivers a
superior ride for both utility uses and
recreational riding. The independent A-arm
suspension in front is preload adjustable
five ways for maximum versatility when
hauling a load. This suspension allows
180mm (7.1 inches) of wheel travel.
The independent rear suspension uses lower
A-arms and upper I-beam construction with
support from a stabilizer bar linked in.
Individual shock absorbers in the rear
are also five-way preload adjustable,
and allow 205mm (8.1 inches) of wheel
travel.

To best match the newfound power of the
larger engine, Suzuki engineers reviewed
the suspension settings front and rear.
To further increase this ATV’s ride
quality, the damper’s spring rates
have been updated. This change helps the
2008 KingQuad deliver better drivability
and handling stability feel.
Dual hydraulic disc brakes are mounted
up front. The rear end uses a super-strong
multi-disc braking system that uses three
plates sealed in an oil bath. Full-length
plastic skid plates guard the chassis
and engine.
One of this KingQuad’s best features
is its QuadMatic transmission and torque-sensing
limited-slip front differential combination.
The QuadMatic transmission is fully automatic
and is managed by a durable V-belt with
centrifugal clutch. An advanced engine
braking system helps this auto transmission
control vehicle speed, minimizing freewheeling
during descents. A left-side-mounted,
utility-friendly gate-style drive mode
selector lets the rider easily and securely
select low, high, neutral or “park”
setting. Front and rear cargo racks are
covered in a wrinkle-finish paint for
increased durability. And a handy storage
compartment is mounted on the right side
front fender.
The torque-sensing front differential
can be set in three different drive modes:
two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, or
differential-locked four-wheel drive.
This Sure-Track differential is superior
to a typical multi-plate differential,
offering powerful traction when needed,
and a light steering effort when that’s
desired. A simple handlebar-mounted push
button gives the rider easy control over
the three drive selections. The fuel tank
is mounted below the seat to help keep
the machine’s weight low, and a
ratcheting gas cap helps prevent over
tightening.
