2012 KAWASAKI TERYX4
750 4x4 UTV / RUV
::CONTINUED::
High-performance hydraulic discs up front using
200mm rotors gripped by dual-piston calipers
offer exceptional feel and stopping power. The
brakes are recessed within the wheels, protecting
them from dirt, water and debris, while durable
steel-braided lines help keep lever feel crisp
and progressive. In back is Kawasaki’s
unique sealed internal wet brake, similar in
design to the highly acclaimed disc system used
on our award-winning ATVs and two-seater Teryx
models. Internal components are completely sealed
from mud, water, dust and debris, the result
being ultra-reliable braking performance in
most conditions. The combination of powerful
discs up front and the sealed system in back
is ideal, and contributes once again to the
Teryx4’s wide-ranging overall performance.

chose to use meaty 26 in Maxxis Bighorn
2.0 tire to get traction |
Large 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires are the
largest available in the RUV category, and offer
the type of ride comfort, control and traction
you’d expect from an RUV this capable in
so many different environments. Their tread and
carcass design help maximize forward traction
while at the same time optimizing control for
aggressive cornering.
The Teryx4’s unique chassis dimensions help
in the areas of turning, climbing and working,
too. Its relatively short (compared to other four-seat
RUVs) 85.7-inch wheelbase affords it a surprisingly
small 16.7-foot turning radius, which makes tight
turns an easy affair on trails or in tight spaces.
The unit’s substantial ground clearance
(10.8 inches) helps keep it from bottoming when
cresting a ridge or rolling an obstacle, while
high approach and departure angles (79 and 65
degrees, respectively) thanks to minimal bodywork
overhang reduce the possibility of smacking the
front bumper when approaching a steep slope or
scraping the tail when exiting one.

| The
Teryx4 has over a foot of ground clearance
& features rock guards that help deflect
obstacles along the trail |
Even
though the Teryx4 has a smaller bed than
the two seater, it can still carry 250lbs
in the bed |
Did someone mention work? The Teryx4 excels
at all sorts of 9-to-5 or leisure-oriented jobs,
from hauling to transportation to towing, from
small jobs to really big ones. Its 250-pound-capacity
cargo hold is sizeable, measuring 18 by 48 inches,
with an 8.5-inch depth. The flat-bottomed space
is big enough for a large cooler, spare fuel
cans or other large objects, and four tie-down
loops help secure cargo safely. The rear wall
is shorter in the center, which makes it easier
to load and remove items. Towing capacity is
a staggering 1,300 pounds.

| The
Teryx4 comes with more cup holders and
12V outlets than most cars do! |
Convenience features include DC sockets –
one in front, another in back – providing
a total of 120 watts of electrical power, while
nearly 8 gallons of fuel capacity offer substantial
range, enough for a long day of work or trekking.
There’s a drink holder for each of the
four seats, while an auto-style parking brake
activates the sealed rear brake setup, to aid
parking even on a slope. Getting at the front
suspension, coolant reservoir, air filter and
electrical equipment is easy thanks to an easy-open
front hood, which is part of a body package
that’s stylish, rugged and rugged-looking.
