It’s
simple to see why the KFX®700 all-terrain
vehicle (ATV) continues to be a hit with
off-roaders. The winning formula of Kawasaki’s
powerful V-twin engine and automatic transmission
coupled with a racing-style chassis adds
up to a sport ATV that offers aggressive
all-day riding that is fun and easy for
a wide range of riders.
At the heart of the KFX700’s
power and performance is its engine. The
liquid-cooled, 697cc, four-stroke, 90-degree
V-twin is matched to a performance-tuned
continuously variable automatic transmission.
The combination eliminates shifting concerns
because it’s in the optimum powerband
at all times. This allows the rider to
focus even more attention on choosing
good lines, whether it’s on the
race track or trail.
Other features include
shaft drive, powerful dual front disc
brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed,
multi-disc rear brake system. The KFX700
also features a racing-inspired single
lower front frame tube –the design
preferred by cross-country ATV racers.
Up front the dual A-arms
feature 9.3 inches of travel while providing
optimum handling with minimal “tire
scrub” during up-and-down suspension
travel. Rear suspension duties are handled
by a motocross-inspired alloy swingarm
with a piggy-back reservoir shock and
7.9 inches of travel. The KFX700 is shod
with the ITP® Holeshot® tires
to gain maximum traction and maneuverability.
Rounding out the features
list are sport-style serrated footpegs,
a protective engine skid plate and powerful
45-watt headlights.
