"With
the award-winning features of the KingQuad
750, now you can get all the features
of Suzuki's flagship ATV, but in a package
that offers the best value in its class.
Suzuki brings all the valuable features
to the class: styling, engine performance,
electronic fuel injection, independent
rear suspension, locking front differential
and a host of other valuable features
mean the KingQuad 450 leads its class
in value and performance. The KingQuad
lineage is important to Suzuki and it
is important that the new KingQuad 450
builds on the storied name. When the original
KingQuad was introduced to the world in
1991, it was a revolutionary ATV. Revolutionary
is a strong word but history has judged
it to be true. At a time when solid rear
axles were commonplace, Suzuki brought
independent rear suspension and a locking
front differential to the ATV world. At
a time when a five speed transmission
was the lap of luxury, KingQuad owners
got the most innovative transmission on
the market. High, low and super-low ranges
gave the original KingQuad owners 15 drive
options. The original KingQuad delivered
utility performance with comfortable trail
manners. The original KingQuad established
Suzuki in the ATV Market. The KingQuad
750 solidified Suzuki's legacy to the
industry. Now the KingQuad 450 sets the
new standard for a whole class of ATVs.
