KFX 700
The ultimate off-road thrill-ride
From its super-aggressive styling to its tradition-breaking technical innovations, every inch of the KFX700 screams attitude. As the first and only Sports ATV to feature a CVT automatic transmission and shaft drive, the big KFX is out to make a name for itself.
And it’s not all talk – the KFX700 has got the goods. By incorporating technical innovations such as Kawasaki’s unique, enclosed wet multi-plate rear braking system with must-have performance features like twin-piston front disc brakes, lightweight aluminium wheels and high-traction, Carlisle Hole-Shot tyres, the KFX700 packs a knockout punch.

Shaft Drive A first for Sports ATVs, the KFX700 does away with the high maintenance and short-lifespan of a traditional chain and sprocket final drive system. Instead, the KFX utilises a fully-enclosed drive shaft to deliver high-efficiency and extremely low-maintenance. |
 |
CVT Automatic Transmission In another first for Sports ATVs, Kawasaki has taken the radical approach of utilising a constantly variable automatic transmission system in place of a traditional, manually operated gearbox. The result? – A power delivery that’s incredibly smooth, easy-to-use and highly tractable. |
 |
697cc V-Twin 4-Stroke Engine The KFX700 builds on the Workhorse 650 V-Twin's highly acclaimed engine, extracting even more explosive power and blistering high-end performance. Engine capacity has been increased to 697cc and both valve and ignition timing has been reconfigured to make the KFX700 the ultimate off-road thrill. |
 |
Lightweight Competition-Style Frame Further proof that Kawasaki is pulling out all stops to rule the Sports ATV roost, the KFX700 is the first production sport ATV to use a single-pipe front tube frame construction - usually only found on serious custom competition machines. |
 |
High Performance Suspension The KFX700’s lightweight, racing type front suspension utilises flat-angle, long A-arms complemented by an upside down gas-charged shock at the rear for high performance off-road handling. |
 |
Competition Wheels and Tyres You can’t have a serious ATV unless you’ve got some serious rolling stock, which is why the KFX700 comes fitted as standard with super-grippy, Carlisle Hole-Shot tyres wrapped around lightweight aluminium wheels with welded inserts for added strength and durability |
