The Prairie®
360 4x4 uses an advanced four-wheel-drive
system to increase the versatility and
fun factor of the baseline Prairie 360
platform. This combination gives farmers,
ranchers and recreational users a practical
ATV that’s ready to get dirty, haul
heavy loads, or explore challenging terrain.
Moving
the Prairie 360 4x4 ATV along is the steadfast
362cc air-cooled, single cylinder, four-stroke
engine combined with Kawasaki’s
continuously variable transmission (CVT).
With high and low forward gears plus reverse,
the CVT enables the engine to operate
in its optimal rpm range, providing maximum
torque regardless of speed or riding conditions.
The
Prairie 360 4x4 ATV utilizes reliable
shaft drive and gives the rider the added
benefit of selectable four-wheel drive
operation. At the flip of a switch, the
Prairie 360 4x4 rider can engage all four
wheels for added traction in adverse riding
conditions. The Prairie 360 4x4 has a
limited-slip front differential, so steering
remains light and precise. When maximum
traction is needed, the rider can utilize
Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential
Control by pulling a lever on the left
handlebar to send power to both front
wheels. When maximum traction is no longer
needed, the rider simply releases the
lever—a simple and effective system.
Stopping
power on the Prairie 360 4x4 is provided
by dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s
sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake
system. Further speed control is provided
by the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control,
which uses engine compression to help
slow the ATV under certain conditions.
The
MacPherson strut front suspension and
a single-shock aluminum swingarm rear
suspension give the Prairie 360 4x4 a
supple ride with 6.7 and 7.1 inches of
travel front and rear, respectively. It
also features a large, comfortable saddle
and full-sized floor boards with adjustable
footpegs for maximum comfort.
Its
steel front and rear cargo racks can carry
a combined weight of 242 pounds. Other
conveniences include powerful dual halogen
headlights, and a hitch bracket is standard,
permitting the rider to tow 1,100 pounds—the
highest towing capacity in its class.
Owners can expand the versatility of their
Prairie ATV via the extensive line of
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories, available
through Kawasaki dealers.
As
with all off-highway vehicle recreation,
Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride
responsibly and to respect the environment.
Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of
a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing
an ATV rider safety course conducted by
the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested
consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887. |
