The KRX’s interior is very accessory-friendly. Behind that cubby is a powered bus bar that can be used to wire accessories into the car with ease.

Kawasaki’s version of Fox Live Valve technology, called KECS, is easy to operate with a three-mode switch. Individual shock damping can be viewed on the cool graphics in the instrument cluster.

Kawasaki’s ROPS system is fairly stout, and the KRX delivers a solid feel from behind the wheel.

benefit from a big cost savings. You get a steel bodied Fox Internal Bypass shock as well, which required Kawasaki to check a couple of extra boxes on the Fox order forms when they built the car. It translates to a longer-lasting, plusher-riding shock.

Impressions

We had a blast wheeling the KRX 4 over a variety of terrain in a couple of different states. The KRX really shines when the trails are rough and curvy, where the length of the car seems to shrink a bit. The 4-seat KRX really does drive and feel like the 2-seat version almost everywhere.

You notice the length when turning around or crossing a very steep breakover angle, and that’s about it. The KRX is fun to hustle in the corners, and the relatively tame engine performance translates into a car that allows you to use more of the throttle almost everywhere. The KRX shines when you put the hammer down and let the chassis work underneath you. It’s here where you’ll find where the R&D budget was spent, as the KRX sails over rough trails. This car is the sweet spot for customers looking for a ton of suspension performance without big turbo horsepower.
