This model is powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 749cc engine, placing it in the big bore displacement class (650cc class and above). The 9.3:1 compression ratio is 7% lower than the average sport-utility ATV. A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel, leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size; high compression ratios are indicative of high performance. A cylinder bore of 3.3 in and a stroke of 2.6 in make this engine oversquare, meaning that it is more powerful than a similarly-sized engine with a smaller bore.

The Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS comes standard with a 2-speed CVT transmission. A shaft final drive transfers power to the axles. Add power steering and a locking differential into the mix and you've got yourself one maneuverable vehicle!
