Riders looking for
a race-ready, high performance ATV equipped
with class-leading performance and technology
straight out of the crate need look no
further than the Kawasaki KFX®450R.
Every component was chosen to maximize
performance on the track or in the woods
and put riders at the head of the pack
with minimal fuss.
The KFX450R ATV uses a powerplant based
on Kawasaki’s highly acclaimed KX™450F
motocross engine. An efficient and highly-responsive
32-bit digital fuel injection (DFI) system
automatically compensates for temperature
or altitude. DFI also enhances the engine’s
ability to generate torque in the low
and medium rpm ranges for outstanding
holeshot acceleration. This ATV’s
ability to find traction is superb, and
its four-stroke power delivery translates
into hooked-up wheels for improved handling
and higher corner speeds.
Other race-ready features include a lightweight
titanium exhaust header pipe and a durable
forged piston. The fast and reliable KFX450R
was also the first competition-oriented
ATV to include a reverse gear. Previously
unheard of in racing, the KFX450R’s
lightweight reverse system lets riders
quickly extricate themselves from first
turn chaos, dead-end trails or any other
on-track incident.
Winning races requires a chassis that’s
built to handle tough racing conditions.
The all-aluminium frame provides light
weight and incredible stiffness without
sacrificing strength. The front suspension
design utilizes long lower A-arms mounted
to a single box-section lower frame tube.
This results in outstanding suspension
action from the frontend. At the rear,
a cast aluminium swingarm provides the
ideal balance of flexibility and rigidity.
The high-tech chassis also features a
low center of gravity and excellent roll
resistance. Regardless of changing conditions
or rough track surfaces, this race-oriented
chassis makes the KFX450R a potent weapon
in the battle for ATV supremacy.
The KFX450R is easy to work on, so riders
can concentrate on winning instead of
wrenching. The two-piece front and rear
“lapped” fenders make it possible
to customize the size of the fenders or
replace damaged sections separately. Even
the headlight assembly is quickly detachable
for closed-course races, and the compact
design means this ATV looks just as aggressive
with or without headlights. These features
leave little doubt that the new KFX450R
was designed to get its rider on track
and winning races as quickly as possible.
The KFX450R was developed concurrently
with a full line of Authentic Kawasaki
Accessories that are available through
Kawasaki dealers.
