With the award-winning features of the
KingQuad 750, now you can get all the features
of Suzuki's flagship ATV, but in a package that
offers the best value in its class. Suzuki
brings all the valuable features to the class:
styling, engine performance, electronic fuel
injection, independent rear suspension, locking
front differential and a host of other valuable
features mean the KingQuad 450 leads its class
in value and performance.
The KingQuad lineage is important to Suzuki
and it is important that the new KingQuad 450
builds on the storied name. When the original
KingQuad was introduced to the world in 1991, it
was a revolutionary ATV. Revolutionary is a
strong word but history has judged it to be
true. At a time when solid rear axles were
commonplace, Suzuki brought independent rear
suspension and a locking front differential to
the ATV world. At a time when a five speed
transmission was the lap of luxury, KingQuad
owners got the most innovative transmission on
the market. High, low and super-low ranges gave
the original KingQuad owners 15 drive options.
The original KingQuad delivered utility
performance with comfortable trail manners. The
original KingQuad established Suzuki in the ATV
Market.
The KingQuad 750 solidified Suzuki's legacy
to the industry. Now the KingQuad 450 sets the
new standard for a whole class of ATVs.
