Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive

Ive been looking for a new 4 seater to replace the rhino, now that I want to go fast with all 4 seats filled.. I like the wheelbase (RZR4 is too long IMO - for my riding), and Im fine with the power (anything is better than a mostly stock 660), but it for sure will need long travel. Styling...? I don't know. Its OK. It has potential I guess.

Ive never been a big fan of Polaris' quality or styling, but was just about to take the leap and do the RZR4, but I think Ill hold out and build one of these instead.. Maybe. (can't believe its heavier than a Ranger Crew...)

Rzr4 still comes out on top, (But I will take the Funco version with turbo)

Chit! Put a turbo on what ya got and you'll have the best thing going Style, comfort and speed

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive

They kept the wheelbase slightly shorter than the RZR4.That's a plus for the trail riding we do.I think the width is a killer if you ask me.By the time you LT this thing you will be as wide as a full size truck to get any travel out of it.They need to do somthing with the catfish platic too! I was expecting more.I'm not brand biased either, I just don't like Polaris.

Turbo? I'm thinking of doing a Cummins swap with NOX Even when I'm done, it will still weigh less than the teryx4

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive

I am sorry to say but I think Kawasaki missed the mark on this one!

The cage is a copy of the Caned-Ham the doors and the bar running under the doors is a copy of the Rhino.... Dont get me wrong I just dont see any creative design here to say its a Kawi heck the bed even looks like Canam.

This is just a hopped up Mule that will take some BIG bucks to bring it up to speed.

Kawasaki where is our SPORT utv?

Just my opinion.

Don't worry Brett, Arctic Cat will take care of you when it releases the 4 seat Wildcat...

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive

I would assume we will see this engine in the 2013 model year of Teryx 2 seaters.....

Yep Joey and I think that we can (well I will anyway) assume with this engine and with it going to hit the two seaters next year that there will be an accompanying CC upgrade and a quite sporty Chassis to go with it. Monster cannot afford for one of its star products to not be dominating the class and I just about guarantee even with the Wild Cat and the XP they are going to be MASSIVELY dwarfed by what I am going to immediately dub the "T-wrexs".

Knowing Kawasaki across the park (small vehicle design world park) it wont win the weight war but it will win the suspension and hp war and in one release will send Wild Cat back to the drawing board and leave Can Am still waiting to see if it can make a real sports machine in ANY atv category. And I say that while very much liking Can Am. Polaris will be left with 3 years of a 5 year ROI til model "XcesS"

Its quite smart by the K to release it in the 4 where the CVT will get the kind of pressure it will get in a two seater with much less weight but more power so the CVT will be tested in production this year. The motor has been best in class for years already and chassis they are going to have to pull it out of the hat because I think AC did quite a good one so far by style of design, only time tells, but their suspension looks shonky at the rear and steering links are wrong as they seem to be protruding in front on the Aarms out near the wheels and first rock face you are out of the race.

So big calls early?? K to bring out the racer next year and the K will be for King!

I wanna see one with the rear seat removed and a lowered radius cage on it similar to RZR-X. I don't need 4 seats but the longer wheelbase in a 2 seater would be sweet.

I've heard there's one in the works...

Is the motor between the front seats or rear?

looks to be between the front

I like the looks of it. I am not huge on the overall top speed, so the power/weight thing does not really bother me. However, I do think the RZR has it cornered right now for 4 seaters. Kawi may make a great product, but Polaris has come a long way from the ATV pieces of crap they used to put out. Most of my group ride RZRs, and very few of us are what you would call "easy" on them. It's all in what you like. If you add LT to this thing, it would be a beast to manuever in the woods in some of the areas in the east. All in all, I think Kawi just played this one a bit on the conservative side, but will still do well.

Wait for someone to roll the new Teryx 4 and grab the engine/CVT and hop that up, thats what we and K want to see and I believe Muzz already have a 880 and are working on a 999.

Its a very clever ploy by K to put the new engine & CVT out there in the world and find out the performance and gracks over the next year before they release the racer.

Now how long 'til we see a racer and what to ride 'til then?

As we dont have AC down here it makes it hard to decide to get a AC when there is no spares parts back-up but Polaris down here just reduced the price of the XP to $19k to get more orders but the price only applies to racers (Thus voiding their warranty costs on even just basic servicing and giving them a little savings).

Makes the XP hard to go past right now while the Wildcat may have little re-sale unless you have the full 2 car team with 3 donor car and racey bits.

Agree with your observation, they have played it very conservatively but they are the first Japanese ATV company to break the Utility mold so I think that's where they played it.

And I think you're right in terms of the outcome too. Polaris have a market already although I cant speak to their quality over time as they haven't been a widespread distribution here until recently (last 7 years?).

Good to see another factory player though when there is such a high demand for the product type.

 

[Badbinder77]

Anyone know if there will be a rear bench seat conversion for these? I'll be needing to haul 3 kids in the back. I've seen some Rzr 4s with a rear bench seat.

 

[JoeyD23]

I will either be doing a rear bench conversion or finding a way to do 3 bucket seats. You will be able to follow my build here!!

 

[Badbinder77]

Awesome, cant wait to see it!

 

[Goodtimes]

Should have one in our shop next week
