Works and plays better than most, costs
less than almost all
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. |
