Introduction
Fuel injected, big-bore V-twin
power in a tough 4x4 wrapper
Whatever the task calls for, the Brute Force® 750 4x4i has
the muscle to tackle it; whether it's lugging supplies around
a rugged job site or fording a deep mud bog. Wrapped in aggressive
bodywork, this burly leader of Kawasaki's V-twin powered, sport-utility
ATV pack utilizes an A-arm front and independent rear suspension
to keep the ride remarkably civilized. It's the perfect choice
for adventure enthusiasts and sportsmen alike.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i is propelled by a powerful four-stroke,
fuel injected 749cc, 90-degree V-twin engine. The twin cylinders
are fed via 36mm throttle bodies that are controlled by a 32-bit
CPU. The system monitors coolant temperature, air intake temperature,
air intake pressure, throttle position, vehicle speed and crankshaft
angle to deliver the optimum fuel mixture. Instantaneous fuel
delivery and crisp engine response help make the eight-valve
engine a hit with sport riders.
The high-pressure fuel pump is located inside the tank with a
unique reservoir chamber at the bottom to help ensure air does
not get into the fuel system. Despite the big power from the
engine, a light feel at the throttle lever helps reduce rider
fatigue. This is achieved via utilizing a low spring rate for
the throttle return springs and ball bearings in the throttle
bodies. Keeping things cool is its high-efficiency radiator,
mounted high in the chassis for optimum shielding from mud and
debris. Mated to the V-twin engine is a fully automatic, dual
range continuously variable transmission (CVT) with low or high
range, and reverse.
Two- or four-wheel-drive operation is selectable simply by pressing
a button on the handlebar. In four-wheel-drive mode, the Brute
Force ATV utilizes a limited-slip front differential, which eases
steering effort under most riding conditions. The rider can manage
the amount of power to both front wheels with Kawasaki's Variable
Front Differential Control by using a small control lever on
the left handlebar. It's a definite advantage when traversing
deep mud, slippery uphill trails or large logs or rocks.
The front drive shafts of the 750 4x4i feature an industry first
Cardan joints. Similar to U-joints, Cardan joints help
absorb torque fluctuations to the drive shaft, and the lightweight
design helps to reduce vibration. The small and compact rear
final gear case and sealed rear braking system are extremely
rugged and efficient.
Completely sealed, the rear braking system's components are protected
from mud, dust and debris. Its compact size also provides more
ground clearance than a conventional rear disc brake system.
The sealed rear brake and dual front discs bring the Brute Force
750 4x4i to a quick halt. Enhancing the highly effective braking
is the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which helps slow the ATV
under certain conditions.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i utilizes a simple, yet sturdy double-cradle
tubular steel frame with front dual A-arms and IRS. The front
dual A-arms feature 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,
stability and excellent rider comfort.
Dual-rate springs for the front and rear suspension on the Brute
Force 750 4x4i mean ride comfort and sport performance go hand-in-hand.
For the bumps at slower speeds, it's a soft initial spring rate
and as the springs are further compressed, a firmer second rate
- to handle higher speeds - comes into play. Complementing the
suspension, the firm urethane seat foam is supportive yet provides
plenty of comfort for long hours in the saddle.
An upright and comfortable rider position enhances the rider's
ability to interact with the Brute Force 750 4x4i, scan the horizon
and the easy to read automotive-style instrument panel. Its front
bumper is designed for easily manhandling the Brute Force when
the need arises. Behind the bumper is the tough and scratch-resistant
Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) angular bodywork.
Underneath this strong bodywork is a factory-installed plastic
conduit for easy winch installation. The stunning appearance
continues with head-turning polished 12-inch wheels. Mounted
with aggressive tires, the wheels help give the ATV its 9.7 inches
of ground clearance and transfer the awesome power of the V-twin
engine to the ground.
The chassis balance is further optimized by the large five-gallon
fuel tank beneath the seat. Keeping the weight in check are aluminum
footpegs on the full-sized floorboards and lightweight cargo
racks that can carry a combined weight of 264 pounds.
The capable Brute Force 750 4x4i can also tow a hefty 1,250 pounds
all it needs is a standard hitch ball. Other features include
the waterproof storage box in the left front fender and a storage
compartment in the right front fender. Owners can expand the
versatility of the Brute Force with a variety of Authentic Kawasaki
Accessoriess.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages
ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment.
Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100
for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free
at 800-887-2887.
