The recreational sport vehicle world will never be the same again.
A new breed has evolved with a mix of working UTV traits and sportier
ATV genes — the Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 4x4. This new
full-sized RSV is the first to have V-twin power and combines
its Kawasaki heritage of efficient CVT and integrated occupant
protection with superior ground clearance, cargo capacity, and
sport handling to become the top performing RSV on the market.
The Teryx 750 4x4 is all about recreation, yet it retains enough
of its working heritage to offer amazing versatility and handy
features for tackling everyday tasks.
At the core of the Teryx 750 4x4 is its strong and proven 749cc
90-degree V-twin engine, the same engine that gives the Brute
Force® 750 4x4 its distinguished high performance. The mid-chassis
mounted engine gives the Teryx 750 4x4 a displacement and V-twin
torque advantage over its contemporaries and delivers the performance
that RSV customers have been seeking. Mated to the engine is Kawasaki’s
superb constant velocity automatic transmission (CVT), which transfers
the power from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly.
The output of the duo provides a true sport performance, yet in
a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the full
potential of the Teryx 750 4x4.
Naturally, big power demands a chassis to compliment it and once
again the Teryx delivers with an ideal width body – narrow
enough to be useful and able to navigate the trail but wide enough
to be stable and handle the healthy output from the V-twin. Its
large-diameter, thin-walled tubular frame offers the necessary
rigidity without performance draining weight, and all in an arrangement
spacious enough to fit two adults comfortably.
The Teryx 750 4x4 shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept
of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing
wheel camber change. Featuring adjustable Kayaba suspension with
gas-charged shocks, the sport-performance focused suspension of
the Teryx 750 4x4 is designed to remain controlled even at top
speed.
When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with
a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is
achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated
with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets
the driver select how much the wheels are locked together. The
rear wheels stay locked and always turn together — much
like a sport ATV — allowing the Teryx to slide around corners
easier in a drift style.
It continues its dominance in the field with new 26-inch Maxxis
tires developed specifically for the Teryx 750 4x4 that enable
superb forward and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good
rough terrain handling and contribute to its class leading ground
clearance and ability to overcome obstacles.
A fast RSV would not be good without having equally capable stopping
power and Teryx 750 4x4 delivers. It employs a combination of
dual 200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake in the rear.
The front brakes are tucked into the wheels for protection from
debris and their 27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted for
optimum feel and control. The advantage of the sealed rear brake
is most apparent when it’s able to keep working even in
the wettest or muddiest of environments.
Featuring bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts
that keep the driver and passenger strapped in snugly, the Teryx
750 4x4 also has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a
comfortable ride. It also has foot guards designed into the steel
floor boards and body along with a padded steering wheel that
is positioned low for better control.
However, the Teryx 750 4x4 isn’t all play and no work.
It is equipped with a 500-pound capacity cargo bed that is ideal
for recreational users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling
with tie down hooks in all four corners and comes with a cargo
net to keep the goods secure. The Teryx 750 4x4 can also pull
the load with its 1300-pound towing capacity.
Rider comfort and conveniences increase even more on the Teryx
750 4x4 LE, with the addition of a digital meter with dual trip
meters, clock and hour-meter, half-windshield, hard top and dual
retractable cup holders. The LE also features a tilting cargo
bed with gas assist, which gives the tilting bed a boost.
When the sun drops the fun or work doesn’t have to stop
with the dual 40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights
letting it be seen. An eight gallon fuel tank allows it to operate
longer and cover more distance so the journey isn’t cut
short either.
The Teryx 750 4x4 is built tough with scratch resistant Thermo-Plastic
Olefin (TPO) bodywork and steel skid plates underneath to shield
the engine from the ride stopping obstacles.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available
for the 2008 Teryx 750 4x4 through Kawasaki dealers. As with all
off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RSV drivers
to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.
