Segment: ATV/Quad
Production years: 2011, 2012
The 2012 MY Kawasaki Mule sports a powerful V-twin mated to a Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS) wth H, L and R to ensure one gets the job done no matter the terrain.
The SxS comes standard with electric power steering, meaning reduced rider fatigue so that he or she may focus more on securing the load and transporting it safely. The four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case can be changed for optimum traction conditions, from four-wheel for rough terrain to two-wheel for long sprints on more even terrain, which gives better gas mileage.
The steel cargo bed, which can carry up to 800 pounds, also tilts for quick unloading, and the thick tailgate panel adds durability to it.
