4 The Teryx features the first V-Twin engine in the class. With 749cc and 4 valves
per cylinder, the proven engine pumps out serious performance and torque for the
ultimate RUV experience.
• One of the main advantages of the 90-degree V-Twin design, besides the power, is the perfect
primary balance so all that power is tamed for smooth operation and greater comfort.

2 The independent double-wishbone rear suspension includes
strong, preload-adjustable steel coil springs and sophisticated
gas-charged shocks with piggyback reservoirs for excellent
performance over rough terrain. Wheel travel is 7.2 inches while
ground clearance is a massive 11.3 inches.
• Independent A-arm front suspension with gas-charged shocks plus
rack-and-pinion steering provide comfort and control over rough terrain.
Wheel travel is a healthy 7.5 inches.
1 The styling of the Teryx 750 is enhanced by the
bright headlights and sculpted front hood design.
A thick tubular bumper helps protect the front end.
• Beefy 26-inch Maxxis off-road tires, customized for the
Teryx, provide exceptional traction and control.
• The ergonomically designed bucket seats are roomy and
comfortable and have 3-point passenger restraints.
• All the Kawasaki Teryx 750 RUVs feature Roll-Over
Protective Structures (ROPS). The cab frame meets ROPS
requirements under SAE specifi cations for added safety.
3 Kawasaki’s exclusive sealed oil bath rear braking system features a hydraulically
controlled, trouble-free system for class-leading braking performance. Dual
200mm hydraulic front disc brakes feature massive 27mm twin-piston calipers.
• The speed-sensitive Kawasaki Engine Brake Control system uses engine compression to
help slow the vehicle whether you’re in 2WD or 4WD.
• The Teryx’s chassis and overall width delivers an optimum compromise between
narrow, nimble handling and a wider stance for stability and traction. Plus the driver’s
compartment and bucket seating for two are extremely spacious and comfortable.
