      Kawasaki has had this cvt set up on there teryx line for many years and it is already proven itself. I just replaced my belt at 4400 miles. I wish they did a slightly smaller 60” sport machine. Anyway look forward to seeing you guys hit some good tech trails with it.

    Been racing against this unit this winter in the CSRA snowcross events. Super impressed with the handling of the unit and overall performance. The Kawi placed first overall for the season beating out all the Turbo units with a very talented driver. Nice to0 see ya's got ahold of one for us to see put through the paces. Cheers boy's

    Great video, really looking forward to more KRX content and mods. It would be really interesting to see a comparison between the KRX and Talon in stock form and with the aftermarket turbo kits in the future. Not everyone needs a 200+hp machine but I think a lot of people would like a NA machine that can be upgraded if the need and budget allow in the future.
    Might be interesting to see a series with budget builds with some older used machines. Best bang for your buck etc. I know you don't have an endless budget, just an idea.
    Also really happy to see the battle grounds again now that the weather is starting to get better. Keep it up!

Comes stock with a lot of great features that polaris and other brands don’t. Carnivores, full doors, metal skid plate, roof, ect. For my style of riding which is a lot of trail riding and hill climbing I think this is going to be perfect for me! Great video guys, thank you!

    I work at a Powersports dealer in CA and have driven every SXS on the lot.
    The Kawasaki KRX 1000 has great suspension that is dialed in right out of the box. We drove them last month in the Angels Stadium for the dealers demo day. Power is lacking hard, no butterflies in your stomach when you smash the gas like an X3.
    Overall suspension is dialed but needs a turbo to keep up with others.
