A dependable
two-wheel drive, mid-size utility with
great towing capacity that is both fun
and efficient to operate? That would be
the Prairie® 360 ATV. With its disc
brakes, shaft drive and CVT transmission,
the Prairie 360 is certainly easy to afford,
yet offers premium features and class
leading function.
The
Prairie 360 is powered by a 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 utilizes a trustworthy shaft
final drive, while dual front disc brakes
and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed,
multi-disc rear brake system bring the
ATV to a controlled halt.
For additional
stopping power, the Prairie 360 features
the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which
uses engine compression to help slow the
ATV in technical maneuvers such as crawling
at low speeds over rocks or descending
steep downgrades.
The
Prairie 360 rides on supple MacPherson
strut suspension up front with 6.7 inches
of travel, while rear suspension duties
are handled by a sporty, single-shock
aluminum swingarm delivering 7.1 inches
of travel. It also features a large, comfortable
saddle and full-sized floor boards with
adjustable footpegs for maximum comfort.
Other conveniences include powerful dual
halogen headlights and steel front and
rear cargo racks that can carry a combined
weight of 242 pounds. A hitch bracket
is also standard, permitting the rider
to tow 1,100 pounds. 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. |
