ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The strength of the Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXT starts
with 48 ft-lb(2) of torque from its new 812cc,
three-cylinder engine that has been tuned to
deliver optimum performance throughout the rev
range. What’s more, this is the most powerful
and fastest MULE ever!

fuel injected engine
|
Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) helps ensure
the motor receives crisp and clean fuel delivery
from its large 7.9-gallon fuel tank. This gives
the new MULE PRO-FXT extended range for all-day
adventures or a full day at work.
Transferring the engine’s performance to the ground is a specially tuned CVT transmission that was designed for the impressive 48 ft-lb(2) of torque and also provides natural engine braking to help when descending slopes. It delivers the low-range pulling power Side x Side owners expect.
The new CVT is combined with an electrically selectable 2WD/4WD system that has a dual-mode rear differential. Convenient dash-mounted switches allow the driver to instantly engage the systems giving full control over the 4WD and the locking rear differential.
The dual mode on the differential allows it to be fully locked for maximum traction, but it will minimize its impact on the terrain when unlocked.
Equipped with this system, your work can be completed quickly and efficiently, no matter the type of terrain or type of job you tackle.
CHASSIS
This strength and versatility could only be
put to use by a vehicle with the handling and
maneuverability to match. The MULE PRO-FXT delivers
in all the key areas with a shorter overall
length (133.3”) and wheelbase (92.3”)
when compared to the competition.

The EPS, EPS LE and EPS CAMO models of the
MULE PRO-FXT Side x Side take full advantage
of speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS),
which helps the driver enjoy a tight turning
radius of just 16ft. In addition, less steering
effort is felt whether you are creeping along
or throttling down the trail.
Extra ground clearance (10.2”) gives the driver confidence that the lower chassis will clear rocks and large obstacles, while the EPS has been calibrated to reduce kickback when traversing rough terrain.
