Kawasaki KRX

I like what I see so far. Gotta see where real world pricing falls.

Thought I had already replied to this post but don't see it...........

Looks like a really nice machine and should do great on the trails. If I had extra money sitting around I would buy one in a heartbeat. This is really the first SxS that has come out since I bought my '15 Teryx4 that I have gotten excited about. 31" tires on beadlocks, tons of clearance and suspension, and decent horsepower. Everybody seems to be bashing it because it "only" has 112 HP and runs 68 mph but from my experience and driving style that is plenty. My riding spots are Windrock, Brimstone, Rush Off-Road and spend most of the time on the more difficult trails. I run with RZR 900XP and 1000XP's, Wildcat XX's, X3's, etc... and have never had an issue keeping up. Most of the time on the trail I'm running low range so it tops out at 30 mph and obviously 50 mph in high. The only time I've hit the speed limiter is while still in low and jumping out on a wide and smooth dirt road for about a 1/2 mile because I didn't feel like stopping and shifting to high for the 30 second trip. I will say that I had to upgrade to the longer Bandit shocks to keep up....was never a power or speed issue, just that I could't stay in the drivers seat and keep control of the machine at higher speeds with the stock shocks.

With the 50-some HP stock Teryx there have been a few obstacles on the trail where more power would have helped. Mainly on muddy and greasy smooth hill climbs that require a lot of wheel speed. With that said I would think that double the power (the KRX is heavier, but the horspower to weight ratio is still much better than a standard Teryx) would have helped.

I see 72 wide mavericks all the time in WV, machines are bigger now for the most part

100% agreed. the majority of our local trails are almost snug for a 60" machine though. I cant imagine a 68 or 72.

we had some wide sxs on the fall ride, they did fine

I’m surprised about the 68 mph top speed - not that you need more than that, but for marketing purposes. My commander will get to around 72mph but I’ve only drove it that fast once and that was just to see what it would do.

BTW, I’m having a really hard time posting.

Not sure what is going on with this page as it is not refreshing. On this thread it says the last post was yesterday at 6:35 P.M., but if you open that up it is a reply from a week ago. I've posted at least 2 replies and they don't show up.
