Shock therapy said multiple time that the krx suspension geometric was very good, need lite valving and a set of good spring to be excellent. If they throw 230hp this why be a fricking BEAST.

[@mustangracer5124]

Havasu here.. love the way people are able to just go crank it up!.. keep 'em going fast!.

[@kyleschlegelmilch]

The krx and the supercharged jet ski are made in the same building. Been delivering Eaton superchargers there for years.

[@brentbeiler7051]

Totally down with all that !

[@brianittel9533]

This better not be a belt 😤 DCT all the way

[@aw9680]

Now we need the talon with the goldwing dct in it!

[@desertsxs]

I like the way you think

[@UTV-A]

And some different rear suspension

[@aw9680]

@@UTV-A I totally agree there. They need to get in line with Kawasaki for sure on the rear end.

[@tedsamuels3203]

Cool 😎 Small Suv

[@stgraves260]

Well let’s see. The Kawasaki H2 motorcycle has a inline 4, 310 HP and 121.5 lb-ft or torque engine in it. That would fit nicely in a KRX.

[@chadstellwagen3460]

I’d be excited to see it with 200hp. It’s an excellent car. Just slow as a snail.

[@russembree7504]

Kawi could easily use their 1500CC platform which is a great motor. Bullet proof in their Jetski line naturally aspirated. The Ultra 310 which is supercharged is 310hp. I don't think they would go that far. But as others have said, you need to be able to put the HP to the ground in a controllable manner.

[@martinez19d]

Kawasaki can throw th8s motor in a Vulcan SS

[@drewhinkle6310]

rov is limited to 999 cc. different set of standards and rules.

[@stgraves260]

I couldn’t imagine my Talon without suicide doors. Sure is nice to open the doors sometimes while driving to let all that cool air in.

[@davidsawmandave8731]

Gotta still love that belt

[@SHSPVR]

That odd as kawasaki list 2024 as a parallel twin In fact when I listen to this it even sounds like a parallel twin

[@GLifeUTV]

The h2 engine would be epic

[@desertsxs]

For sure

[@motorcyclestig8539]

I owned a h2 it was nice but I like my bmw s1000rr better

[@elli003]

Genius. We'll just put a big ol' raised scoop blower on top of that engine and suck-up all the desert sand from Glamis to St. Anthony. Herman Munster would be proud.

[@1smokan]

Her is a former KRX owner, I also own a RZR Turbo S, sold the KRX. Buzzy engine, needs a new power plant for sure. Dust is a major major issue with the KRX, but most of all needs a new power plant and a lot more power.

[@reidzr2s10]

That’s nice ,there is a lot of people waiting for a Brute Force 1000 to be released.

[@californiacountry209]

I thought my RS1 had pretty good suspension until I rode in my buddies KRX. I'm planning on selling my RS1 and getting either a Talon(for reliability) or a KRX for comfort and price.

[@DonziGT230]

I love my Talon. My friends have faster cars, but in the tight technical stuff we often ride in I stay ahead of them most of the time. And it's spent a LOT less time broken/being repaired than my friend's Maverick. I've replaced nothing but fluids and filters. I find the Talon more exhilarating than their cars, but they prefer theirs. I love going into a turn, dropping a few gears and shifting my way out on the throttle. Rock crawling and other slow technical stuff is much easier in the Talon because of the better visibility. When I get in my buddy's RZR TurboR it feels like I've stepped into a full size pickup.

[@aacwilliams78]

What cage is on this car? Looks like it was edited out.

[@jorgedelacruz1254]

Very excited too see what Kawi has up its sleeve. I would take a 4 cyl SC over any of the current offerings.

[@desertsxs]

If all of these parts come true I think it will be the best option

[@motorcyclestig8539]

You would take a 4 cylinder boosted krx over a pro r!? Lmfao. Your supposed to build the car around the motor not build the car and slap a bigger motor in it later. If its a totally new car from the ground up then maybe I can get on board with what your saying.

[@Review-This]

PRO R is a big step to try to compete against

[@desertsxs]

@@motorcyclestig8539 yes they would have to work on suspension for sure too Not making the jump if it’s just hp

[@desertsxs]

@@Review-This for sure it’s a great car they have a lot of work to do if they want to compete but it sounds like there is potential

[@arlocartledge5095]

Do you sacrifice low end clutch stability with the increase in top end?

[@tannerpalacios9466]

Wonder how a high boost krx would hand (with the bigger pully from kraftwerks) just wish the krx was faster in general so I freakin hope they bring that motor over

[@sandman900rr]

they keep this up and they will be at a place minibuggies was at in 2006 !! lmao

[@MrLiniment]

And the price point goes up and up and up

[@coulombe-matthieu2782]

what about the brute force? any change for engine??

[@keitharnett2647]

I’ve got 2023 KRX @3500 miles broke in Sandhollow great crawler and trail machine. Like everyone says no power and when gets hot no throttle response just bog out . People tried billet fuel rails, fuel pumps , ECU change you name it . You just can’t get enough fuel to rail with stock machine .

[@desertsxs]

Yep

[@time_on_target]

Even just a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder. I never understood why Kawasaki didn't use one of their sport bike engines in their SXS. The ZX1400 makes around 200hp. I wouldn't really want the weight, heat, or complications of a supercharger. Just make it a badass NA engine.

[@Upliftyourbrothers]

The watercraft 4 cyl motors are made to run wot at 9000 rpm. Perfect application. And the 310 supercharged motor would be killer.

[@rustyreese4006]

Sxs are regulated to be topped out at 1000 cc. Anything over that puts it in a different class of vehicle. I think that they would be required to meet car standards for everything if they did do that, such as turn signals license plate, the whole nine yards. It would be a headache for the manufacturers to get qualified as a car company to be able to sell them. But if you want to do a swap out yourself, there's nothing stopping you. But you might have to keep it on closed courses to avoid having to make it a street legal buggy.

[@Upliftyourbrothers]

@@rustyreese4006 not true. Please explain the rzr pro r at 2000cc, or the new Ranger HD at 1500cc. Or the mahindra Roxor at 2500cc.

[@rustyreese4006]

@@Upliftyourbrothers couldn't tell you accept Polaris is already classified for road vehicles. Probably why you have to pay new car prices for these toys. And the law may have changed recently, or something like that. All I know is that used to be the reason you couldn't get anything bigger from the factories for years. I also know that these things are way over priced. But whatever the reason for it I stand corrected.

[@jerrychase4177]

4 cylinder engine is the best choice

[@tannerpalacios9466]

I will also add in, I love my krx, love the ride, how it handles rough stuff and how I don’t get feedback in the wheel but holy hell is it underpowered.

[@desertsxs]

Yes yes yes and yes lol

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

My only complaint is the power but on the rough wind rock trails I ride you can’t get over 20 mph anyways most the time it’s a snails speed on the trails

[@desertsxs]

@@whiterhinooutdoors4572 ya if your trails are rough rock crawling you don’t need that speed for sure

[@1gr8oil]

WHERE DOES IT STOP???????? These things are to EXPENSIVE NOW!

[@shemreed]

U want Cable wearing them replacement cable or hydraulic shifters which one u prefer?. I preferred hydraulic powered so smooth just good plumbing that lasts longer than cable.

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

I'd consider jumping off the Polaris ship to Kawi if they stepped up the performance package to a true performance car. Don't get me wrong, I agree this is a good car for average trail riding/rock crawling out of the box. I hope Kawi adds to their line up, a car that competes directly with the Polaris Pro/Turbo R and Can Am X3 performance cars.

[@desertsxs]

Yes for sure

[@coronaac66]

where are you guys riding at in havasu? been looking to find good spots to ride in the city.

[@desertsxs]

Depends on how much time quick rides are up and down power line More time go to the track Follow us on Facebook if you would like to come on rides with us

[@jerryross8215]

U think the 4 seater will have the 4 cylinder aspirated only?

[@wabashoutdoors6928]

You know I am a hard core kawasaki person! I've always wanted a krx, but only have a 800, I hope I can afford one of these 4 cylinder rides when they come out. For I lime to be able to compete with can am and the rzr. I live in Illinois but go to Missouri to compete in the races that Missouri Mudders puts on, but get my rear handed to me all the time....lol would love to be able to actually be able to have a chance in winning in a krx for once. If kawasaki does come out with what you say they are. I'm going to try like heck to get one for the events in 2024.

[@desertsxs]

I hope they do we’re getting vibes of over landing or sport models. So we will know in a month for sure

[@wabashoutdoors6928]

I'll be waiting!

[@nuffsaid6807]

My arctic cat XX has full doors. Battery under the seat

[@jasongardner1910]

So when is this new KRX coming g out it’s been 6 months now.

[@canniuscaldwell29]

Make a kit where I can change my 21 es to accept that ninja 1000r engine

[@robgoffroad]

I've owned a KRX since they came out. Just last spring I traded my 2020 for a 2023 "ES" model with the live valve suspension. I've been suspecting for over a year that the H2 motor would end up in the KRX. Now I have to get ready to trade up again... except I'm not sure I can justify $40k+ for a toy.

[@desertsxs]

Ya I’m worried it’ll be the most expensive one

[@porroco]

We want DCT

[@shemreed]

Get Honda Talon they built with it like a car hydraulic that had.

[@lancewillinger2284]

Suspension breaking and the damn axle snapping. Plus the boots over the axles. These are problems I have. Would like to see a better set up there.

[@cryptohammer2400]

Whats the cost to add the supercharger

[@Deuceblank]

Motorcycle engine like that would have to be drastically redone to effectively get low end torque and reliability. More usable torque would be better in a 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder would be smoother but enough low-end. They definitely got enough real-estate for something good

[@boblovato4159]

Bigger everything 😊 Awesome

[@desertsxs]

Can’t wait very excited

[@stgraves260]

Kawasaki and Honda have the technology to dominate the SxS industry. Look at their motor cycle engines. They can easily put those engines in a SxS.

[@rodneysessions7463]

I spent a day in a KRX in Moab, at the time I had a YXZ and I could not wait to get back in my YXZ. They do rock crawl, but it was hot inside and lots of squeaks and rattles. I would not hold my breath until you see a 4 cylinder in a KRX. The Japanese manufactures are all tight lipped on the new stuff, so until it is released it is not real.

[@tonybrown7042]

Yxz's are pos!

[@roycelauck]

Give me a KRX with 200 or more HP and I’ll ditch Polaris

[@UTV-A]

Can’t wait to see what you guys can do with it!

[@stgraves260]

The SxS market will have to all go 4 cylinder. I love my 2019 Talon. I could only imagine a CBR 1000 200 plus HP motor with the Duel Clutch transmission. Kawasaki, Honda and Yamaha would crush Polaris and Can-Am of their high horse.

[@ChaseLandMgmt]

Yeahhhhhhh I’m not so confident in that lol

[@cjcallen5974]

theres still alot of room for improvement in the 3cylinders, evo has an x3 with a 1200cc 3cylinder pushing 800+ hp

[@stgraves260]

@@cjcallen5974 well as of right now the most powerful X3 SxS is built by Whalen Speed. It lays down 500 WHP. It has compound turbo chargers. Its built for drag racing only and is unable to be used on the trails.

check out evolution powersports silver x3 m3 car it is over 800hp, and is mainly a sand drag car, but can still be driven around. it will destroy the whalen car. not doging the whalen car as it is super sick as well but the evo car is something else

[@stgraves260]

@@cjcallen5974 I’ll have to check that out, think you. Someone else said something about a X3 but I couldn’t find it. Every time I look up world record holder SxS, most powerful SxS, Whalen keeps pulling up. I’ll look up that X3. It sounds sick.

[@lancewillinger2284]

I sank my rzr and pulled it out with a Kawasaki with 35s on it. We went through the deepest and roughest terrain dragging mine out and it just walked through it like it was nothing, plus he did it all in just 2 wheel drive.

[@desertsxs]

Nice it’s great for that riding we just don’t get much mud stuff here. Our need is more speed and suspension is key here
