Kawasaki Drops the Teryx KRX4 1000 4 Seat Model for 2023 to Dominate Adventure

CVT WITH CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH

Complementing the high-torque response of the powerful 999cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, the CVT and centrifugal clutch are key to superior acceleration control at very slow speeds. The centrifugal clutch is located between the crankshaft and CVT drive pulley. This position allows it to eliminate the shock of the CVT belt engaging, which facilitates smooth departures from a stop. By eliminating the shock of the CVT belt engaging, the centrifugal clutch facilitates precise throttle control when navigating rock gardens or other tricky terrain and helps to reduce stress to the high-grade CVT belt. The CVT and transmission ratios were selected to offer optimum ride feel while ensuring stable engine braking characteristics. The engine braking offers reassuring support when descending steep inclines.

The Teryx KRX4 1000 side x sides use a large-volume CVT, centrifugal clutch, and high-quality belt to cope with the great power and high-rpm operation of the parallel twin engine, contributing to great durability and long life. The three-position transmission (High, Low, and Reverse) enables the Teryx KRX4 1000 to take on open range as well as tackle tricky technical courses.

CHASSIS

The Teryx KRX4 1000 side x sides feature a highly rigid frame with integrated ROPS that was designed using Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis and incorporates the ROPS as a stressed member. The energy-absorbing ROPS design helps disperse stress, contributing to durability. The Teryx KRX4 1000 chassis design is based on the two-seater Teryx KRX 1000 side by side from the front seats forward, while adding a middle portion between the front seats and cargo space to accommodate the rear seats. Engineers kept the wheelbase extension to a minimum and created sufficient space for rear passengers to be seated comfortably. The ROPS pillars feature an arched construction to help disperse stress. The sturdy frame construction was designed using advanced dynamic rigidity analysis to ensure minimum weight with maximum strength. The detailed analysis used during frame development results in an optimized frame design that uses minimal gussets with thicker walls reinforcing the frame at the engine and suspension mounts and other points of high, concentrated stress.

The wheels are positioned as far apart as possible to contribute to the overall stance found on the Teryx KRX4 1000. The 126-inch wheelbase, combined with the long wheel travel, contributes to performance and ride comfort, while its wide track helps the vehicle maintain its line when cornering.

Thanks to the large design of the cabin, the rear allows for a full-sized adult to sit comfortably in the rear seats. The rear console height was set to avoid disturbing passenger’s knees and ensure ample foot space. A wide and adjustable T-handle grip contributes to front passenger comfort, while rear passengers can utilize a grab bar that extends across the rear of the front seats. The low, flat floor design helps facilitate getting in and out of the unit. The tall doors feature both internal and external door handles and have built-in armrests that add to driver and passenger comfort.

In addition to all of the great features found on the Teryx KRX4 1000 eS, the Teryx KRX4 1000 eS Special Edition comes equipped with a WARN® VRX 45 powersport winch, high-grade Hifonics® audio system, KQR™ Sport Roof and Special Edition colors and graphics. The WARN VRX 45 Powersport winch offers 50’ of durable, aircraft-grade 1⁄4″ steel rope backed by a 4,500 lb. capacity. A high-grade Hifonics audio system allows drivers to add a musical accompaniment to their off-road adventures and is complete with four 6.5-inch door speakers and a 12-inch subwoofer for excellent sound. The 600-watt 5-channel stereo offers Bluetooth®/AM/FM and Apple Control that enables compatible Apple devices to be controlled by the stereo. The KQR Sport Roof features quick-release capabilities and helps to shelter passengers from harsh weather and sun. It also has pre-configured mounts that allow for the addition of up to six accessory LED dome lights. The Teryx KRX4 1000 eS Special Edition is equipped with special Metallic Flat Raw Graystone colors and graphics that are complemented by gold wheels for a high-class image.
