Because there should be no doubt that this next-generation flagship ATV from Kawasaki is anything other than the most potent, most technically advanced plus
the most comfortable ATV we’ve ever created. Producing power that was almost unthinkable just a few years ago, we added 52cc to our award-winning liquidcooled SOHC 4-valve V-Twin engine, then crafted a completely new frame with new double wishbone front suspension. But unlike competing systems, Kawasaki’s
independent rear suspension offers far superior anti-dive resistance that maintains sporty handling. Of course, as pioneers in the industry we understand when you’re
adventuring far into the woods or climbing across mountain tops, you demand an electrically selectable 2WD/4WD system with variable front differential control for

THE HUNT FOR THE KING OF ATVs IS OVER.
Sure, the new Brute Force 750 4x4i is our most powerful, quickest-accelerating 4x4 utility
ATV. But this next-generation flagship ATV from Kawasaki is more than the most potent and
most technically advanced ATV we’ve ever created. It’s also the most comfortable, most
luxurious thanks to its leading-edge independent front and rear suspension systems. So the
next time you’re heading out to the blind or crawling up a steep incline, you’ll be enjoying
one of the smoothest rides in the woods. To produce the kind of ground hugging system that
soaks up every ripple and bump on the trail, we developed a completely new steel frame
and added new dual A-arm front suspension. Then we added an innovative Independent
Rear Suspension system that offers the dual benefits of smooth action but with less dive for
sporty handling not found on competitive models. We also included an electrically selectable
2WD/4WD system with push button convenience. The result is an astonishingly comfortable
and luxurious premium ATV that just happens to enjoy the hunt as much as you do.

BIG POWER. BIGGER AUTHORITY.
You wouldn’t use a compact pickup to haul granite, so don’t choose an average ATV for huge
jobs. Instead, order up a Kawasaki Prairie ® 700 4x4. Our biggest Prairie model was born
and bred not only to tackle big jobs but also to head into the woods with sporting prowess.
The story begins with the stump-pulling torque of a big SOHC liquid-cooled V-Twin engine.
It powers smoothly through our Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System and shaft drive for
effortless operation so you can concentrate on the obstacles that lay ahead. A double-cradle,
high-tensile steel frame, truck-inspired styling, MacPherson strut front suspension and drilled
front disc brakes serve notice of the Prairie 700’s sporting intentions. Its selectable 4-wheeldrive system with Hi/Low range ensures maximum traction in any conditions, from the sands of
Santa Fe to Georgia’s slick red clay. But don’t take our word for it, DIRT WHEELS magazine gave
it their top vote in winning their giant 4x4 shootout. Add a multi-function LCD digital instrument
display and a handy 12-volt accessory plug and the Prairie 700 is as versatile as any sport utility
could be. When you’ve got to do it all, it’s exactly what you want. And everything you need.
