Take A Ride On the Versatile Side

Equipped with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS), the Teryx® KRX4™ 1000 eS side x side offers unparalleled versatility to tackle a wide range of environments.

Adapt in Real Time

The next-level Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) package adapts to riding conditions in real-time. To optimize comfort, control, and traction as the environment changes, KECS works with high-performance FOX 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks and a Bosch electronic control system. Whether you're navigating a technical rock crawl or heading through the whoops, you'll tackle it all with total confidence.

Adjust for Your Adventure

Select Soft Mode for maximum suspension compliance, enhanced traction, and ride comfort. Soft Mode provides maximum driver control over highly technical terrain.

Normal Mode covers the greatest range of riding situations because suspension settings are optimized to match vehicle speed while simultaneously providing plush ride comfort, firm damping, and enhanced cornering stability for typical trail riding situations.

Switch to Firm Mode for crisper response and increased stability while tackling terrain at higher speeds.

Stay Connected Off-Road

A large 7-in high-grade full-color TFT instrumentation provides the driver with vehicle information needed, through a modern and highly visible display.

Drivers can select how they want their information presented with 3 selectable display modes (Digital, Analog, Simple). The screen background can also be set to black or white to suit preference.

When linked to iOS-type smartphones via Bluetooth®, notification of calls and messages received will be indicated on the instrument display. The instrument’s large screen size makes it ideal for infotainment functions. Features like the suspension monitor, audio track display, and vehicle-mounted cameras (up to 2 accessory cameras can be linked to the display) offer both information and entertainment value.

Screen display functions: speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, gear indicator (L, H, N, R), Driving Mode (2WD/4WD/ 4WD+Diff Lock), Power Mode (Full/Low), Suspension Mode (Soft/Normal/Firm), clock, CVT temperature, selectable display (digital tachometer, odometer, dual trip meters, total time, trip time, average speed, water temperature, battery voltage), Bluetooth indicator, telephone call indicator, mail indicator, Economical Riding Indicator, maintenance reminder (2 driver selectable reminders), neutral indicator, reverse indicator, headlight high-beam indicator, battery warning lamp, EPS warning lamp, CVT belt warning lamp, seatbelt warning lamp, parking indicator lamp, oil warning lamp, water temperature warning lamp, engine check lamp.

Durable and Capable

Take on the great outdoors with the ability to conquer tough terrain while offering superb control and comfort. Soak up technical obstacles with confidence so you can focus on the fun ahead.

Powerful and Well-Balanced Engine

A compact 999cc parallel-twin engine delivers high power and high torque. Well-balanced performance is ideal for handling a wide range of situations at both high and low speeds, from trail running to technical navigation.

Smooth and Precise

A large-volume Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and centrifugal clutch deliver smooth acceleration and precise throttle control to help you maintain positive traction in challenging technical sections. Seamless engine braking provides consistent deceleration on downhills.

The Power to Choose

Full Power or Low Power modes allow drivers to set power delivery to suit preference and conditions. The milder throttle response offered by Low Power mode contributes to superb low-speed control when tackling challenging terrain.

Choose Your Mode

Switch between 2WD/4WD and front differential lock on the fly with electrically selectable drive modes.

Dynamic Stability and Comfort

The long 126-in wheelbase, combined with the long suspension travel, contributes to dynamic stability and ride comfort. The wide tread stance helps the vehicle maintain its line when cornering.

Smooth and Stable

Massive ground clearance allows the class-leading suspension travel to fully articulate for a smooth, confident ride. The angled shape of the underbody complements the ample clearance to enhance the chassis capability to navigate technical terrain.

Power Your Fun

Bring your accessories on the adventure with you. With a built-in high output 1,120W (80A) AC generator featuring two output connections, you can power all your additional fun on the go.

Designed Tough

Thoughtful design is evident by the burly frame and ROPS, massive suspension components, and extensive undercarriage protection.

Durable Frame

The frame was designed using Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis incorporating the Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) as a stressed member. The energy-absorbing ROPS design helps dissipate stress, contributing to optimal rigidity balance and durability.

Take On Tough Terrain

Large-diameter A-arms and trailing arms utilize an arc shape for greater clearance, also allowing the long-travel suspension to soak up more terrain. Roomy interior space complemented by highly composed chassis and ground-hugging suspension that soaks up bumps mean driver and passengers can strap into the high-backed bucket seats and simply enjoy the ride.

Protected from Debris

The angled shape of the underbody, similar to the hull of a boat, complements the already more than 14 in of ground clearance. The class-leading undercarriage is covered with a combination of plastic and steel skid plates with more than 80% of the protection composed of steel pieces.

Additional steel wheel wells offer further protection to the vehicle from rocks and other flying debris.

Stopping Power

Stay in control with 4 large-diameter hydraulic disc brakes that deliver superb braking force.

As the driver pushes the brake pedal, the front brakes engage first, followed by the rear brakes. This offers a very natural, linear brake feel that facilitates precision brake force control.

Keep The Adventure Going

Class-leading 15-in aluminum wheels with large 31-in MAXXIS® Carnivore tires help reduce rolling resistance in technical terrain and feature an off-road tread pattern for extra grip. Their 8-ply construction offers enhanced puncture resistance.

All Within Reach

The roomy, rear carrier space is large enough to accommodate up to a 32-in spare tire and has a load capacity of 350 lbs. The carrier’s recessed bottom helps prevent a cooler box or other cargo items from moving around. Cargo can be secured using the 4 integrated tie-down hooks.

The built-in sight glass makes checking the engine oil level quick and easy. You’ll have easy access to the oil fill, oil filter and air cleaner, and the ability to service the CVT belt as well.

Class-Leading Comfort

Kawasaki engineers placed great emphasis on carefully designing a roomy rear passenger space that is large enough to comfortably accommodate 4 full-sized adults. Thanks to its rugged performance, advanced technology, and superb class-leading comfort, the Teryx® KRX4™ 1000 side x side is ready to take you and your passengers on an adventure for the memory books.

Room for Everyone

The roomy cabin offers plenty of space for the head, shoulders, and legs to help make the journey more comfortable for all 4 passengers.

Enjoy lever-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, adjustable tilt steering, and a front passenger T-bar handle for added comfort and support. With any adjustments, there’s always ample leg room for all 4 riders.

Stay Supported

With 4 high-backed bucket seats and 3-point seatbelts, everyone will feel supported and comfortable when riding.

Opening Up Adventure

The vehicle’s 4 doors feature a wide opening and armrests. Internal and external door handles provide comfort and convenience when entering, riding, and exiting. The low, flat floor facilitates entering and exiting.

Stay in Control

Speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides optimized steering assistance and acts as a steering damper by absorbing steering kickback for enhanced handling and reduced driver fatigue.

All-Day Adventuring

Comfortable all-day excursions come thanks to 5 easy-access cup holders, a 12V DC power outlet, a large glove box, under-seat storage, and dashboard storage compartments. Keep your items secure and devices charged during your adventure.
