Kawasaki’s Brute Force® 650 4x4i ATV is the
hidden gem in the Kawasaki family of V-twin
powered sport-utility all-terrain vehicles. It
combines a plush ride that is a natural outcome
of its front and rear independent suspension
with the superb qualities of its four-wheel
drive and durable and powerful 633cc engine to
be a “win-win” for owners.
Thanks to its 90-degree, liquid-cooled
four-stroke powerplant, this ATV will shine
under the most grueling circumstances in both
low-to-mid range and high rpm ranges and will be
ready to answer any requests by its target
audience of adventure enthusiasts and sportsmen.
The engine has a bore and stroke of 80mm x 63mm,
linerless aluminum cylinders based on its big
brother’s and a lightweight crankshaft.
Less weight is always a good thing, so to keep
the pounds off Kawasaki engineers used aluminum
in the construction of the front exhaust pipe
cover, two-piece center exhaust pipe cover, and
the muffler cover. Among the other features
designed into the Brute Force 650 4x4i to
optimize the power-to-weight ratio are drilled
transmission gears to lighten their overall
weight.
The chassis has an optimized caster angle for
the front A-arms—upper and lower—to provide
light and responsive steering as well as
excellent ground-following abilities. Shock
absorber spring rates and initial preload
settings for both front and rear are also set
for excellent ride comfort, which was also
boosted on the Brute Force 650 4x4i via its
softer urethane seat foam cushion.
The Brute Force 650 4x4i gets the power from its
V-twin engine transfered to the wheels through a
dual range continuously variable transmission
(CVT) featuring high, low and reverse. Two- or
four-wheel drive is selectable by the rider
simply pressing a handlebar-mounted button.
Stopping the 650 4x4i are dual 200mm front discs
and an enclosed wet multi-plate rear brake
system. The able ATV has a towing capacity of a
hefty 1,250 pounds, and it can carry a combined
264 pounds on its front and rear racks.
It may be the slightly smaller one in Kawasaki’s
stable of IRS-equipped ATVs, but it doesn’t
sacrifice anything in the “looks” department.
Like its brethren, the Brute Force 650 4x4i
sports a rugged, take-on-anything appearance
with a front guard design that will both attract
onlookers and satisfy owners. It can be clad in
Woodsman Green, Super Black, Sunbeam Red, Candy
Thunder Blue or Realtree Hardwoods Green® HD™
camouflage.
