Introduction
The big easy V-twin sport is less work and more play
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.
