Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4

Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 LE - MSRP standard / LE: $9,699 / $10,399

Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 NRA Outdoors - MSRP NRA OUTDOORS: $10,999

Size Comparison:

The Teryx is even bigger than a Rhino.

Kawasaki Teryx is 4" wider than a Yamaha Rhino and 8" wider than a Polaris RZR.
Kawasaki Teryx is 2" longer that a Yamaha Rhino and 13" longer that a Polaris RZR
Wheelbase is about the same as the Rhino and just a bit shorter than the RZR

The Teryx has the same wheelbase as a Rhino, but it is 2" longer

Even though the Teryx is wider, it still has the same amount of wheel travel as the Rhino - 7.3".

The Teryx is 4" wider than a Rhino.

Engine Comparison:

The 749cc V-twin is a proven and powerful engine which should put a Rhino's power to shame. It is unfortunate that Kawasaki did not opt for fuel injection. But 51 HP stock is nice.

Putting the V in RSV with V-twin power and Versatility

The recreational sport vehicle world will never be the same again. A new breed has evolved with a mix of working UTV traits and sportier ATV genes � the Kawasaki Teryx� 750 4x4. This new full-sized RSV is the first to have V-twin power and combines its Kawasaki heritage of efficient CVT and integrated occupant protection with superior ground clearance, cargo capacity, and sport handling to become the top performing RSV on the market. The Teryx 750 4x4 is all about recreation, yet it retains enough of its working heritage to offer amazing versatility and handy features for tackling everyday tasks.

At the core of the Teryx 750 4x4 is its strong and proven 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, the same engine that gives the Brute Force� 750 4x4 its distinguished high performance. The mid-chassis mounted engine gives the Teryx 750 4x4 a displacement and V-twin torque advantage over its contemporaries and delivers the performance that RSV customers have been seeking. Mated to the engine is Kawasaki�s superb constant velocity automatic transmission (CVT), which transfers the power from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly. The output of the duo provides a true sport performance, yet in a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the full potential of the Teryx 750 4x4.

Naturally, big power demands a chassis to compliment it and once again the Teryx delivers with an ideal width body � narrow enough to be useful and able to navigate the trail but wide enough to be stable and handle the healthy output from the V-twin. Its large-diameter, thin-walled tubular frame offers the necessary rigidity without performance draining weight, and all in an arrangement spacious enough to fit two adults comfortably.

The Teryx 750 4x4 shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing wheel camber change. Featuring adjustable Kayaba suspension with gas-charged shocks, the sport-performance focused suspension of the Teryx 750 4x4 is designed to remain controlled even at top speed.

When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets the driver select how much the wheels are locked together. The rear wheels stay locked and always turn together � much like a sport ATV � allowing the Teryx to slide around corners easier in a drift style.

It continues its dominance in the field with new 26-inch Maxxis tires developed specifically for the Teryx 750 4x4 that enable superb forward and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good rough terrain handling and contribute to its class leading ground clearance and ability to overcome obstacles.

A fast RSV would not be good without having equally capable stopping power and Teryx 750 4x4 delivers. It employs a combination of dual 200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake in the rear. The front brakes are tucked into the wheels for protection from debris and their 27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted for optimum feel and control. The advantage of the sealed rear brake is most apparent when it�s able to keep working even in the wettest or muddiest of environments.

Featuring bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts that keep the driver and passenger strapped in snugly, the Teryx 750 4x4 also has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a comfortable ride. It also has foot guards designed into the steel floor boards and body along with a padded steering wheel that is positioned low for better control.

However, the Teryx 750 4x4 isn�t all play and no work. It is equipped with a 500-pound capacity cargo bed that is ideal for recreational users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling with tie down hooks in all four corners and comes with a cargo net to keep the goods secure. The Teryx 750 4x4 can also pull the load with its 1300-pound towing capacity.

Rider comfort and conveniences increase even more on the Teryx 750 4x4 LE, with the addition of a digital meter with dual trip meters, clock and hour-meter, half-windshield, hard top and dual retractable cup holders. The LE also features a tilting cargo bed with gas assist, which gives the tilting bed a boost.

When the sun drops the fun or work doesn�t have to stop with the dual 40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights letting it be seen. An eight gallon fuel tank allows it to operate longer and cover more distance so the journey isn�t cut short either.

The Teryx 750 4x4 is built tough with scratch resistant Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork and steel skid plates underneath to shield the engine from the ride stopping obstacles.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available for the 2008 Teryx 750 4x4 through Kawasaki dealers. As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RSV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.
