The recreational sport vehicle world will never be the same again. A new breed has evolved with a mix of working UTV traits and sportier ATV genes — the Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 4×4.

This new full-sized RSV is the first to have V-twin power and combines its Kawasaki heritage of efficient CVT and integrated occupant protection with superior ground clearance, cargo capacity, and sport handling to become the top performing RSV on the market.

The Teryx 750 4×4 is all about recreation, yet it retains enough of its working heritage to offer amazing versatility and handy features for tackling everyday tasks.

At the core of the Teryx 750 4×4 is its strong and proven 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, the same engine that gives the Brute Force® 750 4×4 its distinguished high performance.

The mid-chassis mounted engine gives the Teryx 750 4×4 a displacement and V-twin torque advantage over its contemporaries and delivers the performance that RSV customers have been seeking.

Mated to the engine is Kawasaki’s superb constant velocity automatic transmission (CVT), which transfers the power from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly.

The output of the duo provides a true sport performance, yet in a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the full potential of the Teryx 750 4×4.

Naturally, big power demands a chassis to compliment it and once again the Teryx delivers with an ideal width body – narrow enough to be useful and able to navigate the trail but wide enough to be stable and handle the healthy output from the V-twin.

Its large-diameter, thin-walled tubular frame offers the necessary rigidity without performance draining weight, and all in an arrangement spacious enough to fit two adults comfortably.

The Teryx 750 4×4 shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing wheel camber change.

Featuring adjustable Kayaba suspension with gas-charged shocks, the sport-performance focused suspension of the Teryx 750 4×4 is designed to remain controlled even at top speed.

When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets the driver select how much the wheels are locked together.

The rear wheels stay locked and always turn together — much like a sport ATV — allowing the Teryx to slide around corners easier in a drift style.

It continues its dominance in the field with new 26-inch Maxxis tires developed specifically for the Teryx 750 4×4 that enable superb forward and sliding traction.

The tall tires offer good rough terrain handling and contribute to its class leading ground clearance and ability to overcome obstacles.

A fast RSV would not be good without having equally capable stopping power and Teryx 750 4×4 delivers. It employs a combination of dual 200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake in the rear.

The front brakes are tucked into the wheels for protection from debris and their 27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted for optimum feel and control.

The advantage of the sealed rear brake is most apparent when it’s able to keep working even in the wettest or muddiest of environments.

Featuring bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts that keep the driver and passenger strapped in snugly, the Teryx 750 4×4 also has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a comfortable ride.

It also has foot guards designed into the steel floor boards and body along with a padded steering wheel that is positioned low for better control.

However, the Teryx 750 4×4 isn’t all play and no work. It is equipped with a 500-pound capacity cargo bed that is ideal for recreational users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling with tie down hooks in all four corners and comes with a cargo net to keep the goods secure. The Teryx 750 4×4 can also pull the load with its 1300-pound towing capacity.

Rider comfort and conveniences increase even more on the Teryx 750 4×4 LE, with the addition of a digital meter with dual trip meters, clock and hour-meter, half-windshield, hard top and dual retractable cup holders. The LE also features a tilting cargo bed with gas assist, which gives the tilting bed a boost.

When the sun drops the fun or work doesn’t have to stop with the dual 40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights letting it be seen. An eight gallon fuel tank allows it to operate longer and cover more distance so the journey isn’t cut short either.

The Teryx 750 4×4 is built tough with scratch resistant Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork and steel skid plates underneath to shield the engine from the ride stopping obstacles.

A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available for the 2008 Teryx 750 4×4 are available through Kawasaki dealers.

As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RSV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.

Maxxis riders took top spots in both premier classes at WPSA’s Round 3 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In his first race aboard the new Razr Cross, designed for loamy conditions, Dustin Wimmer won the SuperQuad Pro 450 class.

Chris Borich bested the competition in the QuadTerrain Pro Stock final, riding the championship-proven Bighorn Radial. The event was held June 2-3.

Wimmer, who took the lead in the first lap of the final, told atvriders.com that he “tried to run a good race, and I relied on my mechanic to let me know where I was in the field. You try not to look behind you, but sometimes it’s difficult not to.”

Wimmer was joined on the podium by fellow Maxxis riders John Natalie, in second place, and Keith Little, who took third. Points’ standings through the first three rounds show Wimmer holding a still-unofficial lead, with fellow Maxxis riders Doug Gust, Keith Little, Chad Wienen, John Natalie, and Joe Haavisto rounding out the top six.

Borich took the holeshot in the QuadTerrain Pro Stock final and held the lead throughout the race. “I just went out, and had some fun out there…My goal was to avoid getting hung up and keep my momentum. It worked out today,” he told atvriders.com. Borich is riding high this season: he’s currently first in the race for the GNCC overall championship.

In amateur races, Canadian Greg Gee took home another first place in the SuperQuad Pro Am class, while Angela Butler continues her total domination of the Women’s A class.

Maxxis congratulates Dustin Wimmer, Chris Borich, Greg Gee, and Angela Butler on their victories.

Maxxis also sends special thanks to John Natalie, who cemented his “Ironman” moniker by battling through serious chest and knee injuries, and to Keith Little for turning in a fine ride and proving yet again that Maxxis is the holeshot master.

Maxxis thanks all of its riders for their hard work and fine performances.

Press Release –

The third round of the WPSA SuperQuad Pro 450 series in Stillwater, OK was all about Weather and Wimmer.

Friday night alone saw 6 ½ inches of rain fall to completely flood out the Cooperland track and surrounding environs. Marble sized hail and strong winds also worried the ATV racers as many thought they could end up on “Oz” by the end of the day.

Incredibly, the weather started to clear up on Saturday and the track crew somehow constructed a raceable course.

The WPSA was forced to switch the planned double header to a single Sunday event. By doing so they had to hold all the heat races on Saturday, and launch the main on Sunday.

Through a massive and impressive effort, the WPSA and track crew pulled it off. The track was shortened due to the fact that the back half of the track was now Lake Cooperland.

Saturday’s heat races were up and down for the “Suzuki Squad” as Dustin Wimmer won his first heat race, but came in behind Pat Brown in the second. Gust carded a 2nd/5th, while Wienen went 5th/6th in their respective heats.

These “decent” heat race finishes gave them pretty good gate picks leading into Sunday’s main. The stage was set for a shootout… WPSA style.

Sunday dawned a little overcast but soon the sun came out and began to dry up the saturated Oklahoma red soil. Everyone was still sloshing around in a variety of muddy boots, but spirits were high in the Team Rockstar/MSR/Pro Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura rig.

Wimmer was running fast laps all weekend and Stillwater looked to be a likely venue for a “Dustin” win this year. Sure enough, when the main event finally arrived, Wimmer blasted off in second place behind Keith Little at the first turn.

However, even before the first lap was over, #191 showed the rest of the field the back of his MSR pants by putting his Suzuki QuadRacer® R450 into the lead.

>From there, Team MSR/Pro Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura’s Wimmer simply set sail and dominated the competition crossing the checkers with a 6.5 second lead over John Natalie.

“I got around Little and put in a couple of really fast laps, then just rode consistent, fast laps for the rest of the race,” Wimmer said after the event. “Jeremiah (Jones) has been helping me in my training and mental outlook, and I really felt strong coming into this race. Sure enough, once the race started, I knew that no one was going to catch me.”

Team Coordinator Jones was really happy with Wimmer’s performace. “We had him training and working on his program overall for the last two weeks. He’s working really hard to be a champ, that’s what it takes. He’s a heck of a racer and is right on the edge of becoming a dominant competitor. Dustin has a great future in front of him, this race is just a sign of things to come.”

Dustin’s teammates “Digger” Doug Gust and Chad “Wide Open” Wienen also had good races but missed the podium.

Gust went 5th with Wienen 6th. Although falling short of Taylorville’s Suzuki 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sweep, it was a respectable finish and all three Suzuki factory riders are very close together at the top of the series points heap.

There were seven Suzuki’s in the SuperQuad Pro 450 final results proving once again that Suzuki is the ATV of choice for professional racers.
