Four-stroke Liquid-cooled Engine
Strong, 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 operated most. This power delivery makes the unit easier to control and ideal for utility and sporting roles
Produces impressive 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
Reassuring recoil starter system offers a backup to the convenient electric start system
CVT and Centrifugal Clutch
Continuously variable transmission (CVT) with centrifugal clutch offers easy operation and a smooth transfer of torque
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
Optimized CVT ratios provide impressively tuned engine braking, which takes some stress out of riding the Brute Force 300 in tricky situations
High-strength CVT belt provides a large degree of durability and longevity
Bevel gear surfaces benefit from carbon-nitriding and shot-peening processes for maximum strength and longevity
The CVT intake duct is located high on the chassis (under the tail) which helps prevent mud and water intrusion
Steel-tube frame is lightweight and strong, will withstand a pounding for years of utility use or sport riding
Chassis traits include excellent handling and straight-line stability, plus 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 33.5”, while the rear track width is 32.7”
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 unit will spend much of its time
Bodywork and 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 strong stopping power
A third 180mm disc with a similar caliper is featured in back
Optimized master cylinder ratios offer riders an ideal braking balance between front and rear brakes
A cable-operated parking brake system is also included for extra security when necessary
Maxxis 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 strong carrying racks front and rear, the Brute Force 300 can carry 44 lb of gear up front and 66 lb in back
Strong hitch allows the Brute Force 300 to tow up to 500 lb.
Behind the front grille is space (and a mounting bracket) for a Warn® winch, which greatly improves the unit’s utility
Convenient Storage
Front storage compartment is large enough to hold four 16-oz. bottles
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 ATV features a strong 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 from getting 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
Other Features
3.2-gallon fuel tank and meager fuel consumption give the Brute Force 300 substantial range
A DC socket located conveniently on the left side of the handle cover provides quick and easy power for accessories
