Introduction
Maximum camouflage, EFI, aggressive bodywork and V-Twin power
The officially licensed Kawasaki Brute Force® 750 4x4i NRA
OUTDOORS special edition features the Advantage® MAX-I
HD camouflage pattern to keep every outdoorsman off his
prey's radar. In addition to the bodywork, extra camouflage on
the NRA OUTDOORS model covers the front guard, front and rear
racks and all four wheels making it a perfect compliment to the
hunting lifestyle.
The NRA OUTDOORS model is based on the standard Brute Force 750
4x4i, the most powerful, high-performance model in its class,
offering a superior balance of rider comfort and convenience
features. It's powered by the largest V-twin engine on market,
and it utilizes a fully independent (IRS) rear suspension system.
Built with adventure enthusiasts and sportsmen in mind, the Brute
Force 750 4x4i NRA OUTDOORS is wrapped in aggressive bodywork,
and driven by a powerful fuel injected V-twin engine. Besides
EFI, the 2008 model received a host of improvements that include
revised suspension settings, new seat urethane, increased sealed
storage, new bumper design, polished wheels, lighter aluminum
footpegs, stronger axle boots and it has factory-installed plastic
conduit for easy winch installation.
Adding fuel injection to Kawasaki's largest and most powerful
90-degree, four-stroke V-twin engine, basically gives riders
more of a good thing. Now the 749cc, twin Electrofusion-plated
aluminum cylinders get fed via 36mm throttle bodies controlled
by a 32-bit CPU, which delivers the correct mixture based on
coolant temperature, air intake temperature, throttle position,
air intake pressure, vehicle speed and crankshaft angle.
Add instantaneous fuel delivery and the engine response from
the four valves per cylinder engine is sharper than ever sure
to be a hit with sport riders. The high-pressure fuel pump is
located inside the tank and has a unique reservoir chamber at
the bottom to help ensure air does not get into the fuel system.
The high-efficiency radiator is mounted high in the chassis where
it is best shielded from mud and debris.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i NRA OUTDOORS transfers power from its
V-twin engine to the wheels through a continuously variable transmission
(CVT) featuring high and low range, plus reverse, and by
pressing a button on the handlebar, the rider can also select
two- or four-wheel-drive operation. In four-wheel-drive mode,
the Brute Force utilizes a limited-slip front differential, which
eases steering effort under most riding conditions. The rider
can also engage the Variable Front Differential Control to deliver
torque equally to the right and left front wheels for maximum
traction.
Outdoorsmen will like the protection and tough build that comes
standard with the Brute Force. The front drive shafts of the
Brute Force feature Cardan joints an industry first. Similar
to U-joints, Cardan joints help absorb torque fluctuations to
the drive shaft, and its lightweight design helps to reduce vibration.
The rear final gear case and sealed rear braking system have
been designed in conjunction with the IRS. Smaller and more compact,
the gear case is extremely rugged and efficient.
Increased ride comfort on the new Brute Force 750 4x4i doesn't
come at the expense of sport performance. Dual-rate springs for
the front and rear suspension permit the best of both worlds.
A soft initial rate handles the bumps at slower speeds is followed
by a firmer second spring rate that comes into play as the springs
are further compressed to handle higher sport speeds. Complimenting
the revised suspension settings is new seat urethane that boosts
rider comfort to new levels. The seat feels softer initially,
but is firm enough to be supportive and provide plenty of comfort
for long hours in the saddle.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i NRA OUTDOORS utilizes a simple, yet
sturdy double-cradle tubular steel frame that features front
dual A-arms and IRS. The front dual A-arms have adjustable shocks
with 6.7 inches of travel, while the IRS employs a leading torsion
bar and provides 7.9 inches of travel. A combination of needle
bearings and ball joints in the lower rear A-arms gives the IRS
unrivaled suspension action and high stability and excellent
rider comfort.
Dual front discs and Kawasaki's highly acclaimed sealed rear
braking system provide maximum stopping power for the Brute Force
750 4x4i NRA OUTDOORS. The rear braking system's internal components
are completely sealed to protect them from mud, dust and debris,
and its compact size provides for more ground clearance than
a conventional rear disc brake system. Enhancing the highly effective
braking even further is the engine's Kawasaki Engine Brake Control,
which helps slow the ATV when traversing DOWN steep hills.
As if its performance wasn't enough, the Brute Force 750 4x4i
NRA OUTDOORS can turn heads with looks alone with its new polished
12-inch wheels and their easily buffed surface and more robust
folded lip design. The eye-catching wheels are clad in aggressive
tires that help give the ATV its 10.6 inches of ground clearance
and transfer the awesome power of the V-twin engine to the ground.
The new look up front is a benefit of the Brute Force's new bumper
design, which offers a more effective handgrip position for manhandling
the big Kawasaki when the need arises. Behind the bumper are
the big, strong and tough-looking bodywork and front grille that
match the aggressive angular lines of its bodywork. This plastic
is made of scratch-resistant Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO).
Other features include the ATV industry's first four-bulb headlights,
and a new waterproof glove box in the left front fender, complementing
the storage compartment in the right front fender.
Keeping the weight in check are new aluminum footpegs on the
full-sized floorboards and smaller and lighter cargo racks. The
new Brute Force also features a subtlety more compact design,
with almost one half inch less in width and height than last
year's machine. The chassis balance is further optimized by positioning
the large 5.4-gallon fuel tank beneath the revised seat.
The Brute Force ATV can carry a combined weight of 264 pounds
on its cargo racks and has a tow rating of 1,250 pounds.
