Seven years ago, Suzuki offered a complete and more than welcome redesign of its King Quad. The manufacturer kept the same recipe for the big torquey single-cylinder engine, but it had revised all aspects of the vehicle: engine, transmission, suspension, frame, body, lighting. Everything had been put back on the drawing board to restore the King to its former glory. But it’s still been six years, but its direct Japanese competitors are not doing much better.
Its 750cc engine with electronic fuel injection is, in our opinion, one of the most efficient (and also the largest) single-cylinder engines on the market. His overhaul has accentuated his very abundant torque at low revs and still likes to express himself with authority at high revs. The power follows a linear curve. The CVT transmission works more in symbiosis with the engine. His reaction is quick and frank. Finally, the engine brake is more effective because it remains engaged at a higher engine speed.
The King Quad’s body is still voluminous for a Japanese ATV and its wide fenders will adequately protect you from splashes. The recalibrated four-wheel independent suspension, combined with a revised precise steering system with more powerful assistance, ensures a good level of comfort. The 4×4 system has excellent efficiency, as the front differential can be electrically locked by a button on the handlebar. The reinforcement of the frame and the recalibration of the transmission allow for a remarkable increase in pulling capacity from 1000 to 1323 pounds.
The Model 750 is available in five color options: khaki, red and, for the more fully equipped XPZ version, Armored Blue Gray, Cast Carbon and True Timber Kanati (camo). This version also comes with alloy wheels, hand guards and plastic luggage rack covers.Ã
The redesign has been very beneficial for the King Quad, which sees its skill level increase by a lot, to put it back in the leaders of the category.
What’s new?
- New colours
We appreciate:
- The King Quad 750 is a vehicle that offers remarkable mechanical homogeneity, generous space layout and a very comfortable driving position.
- Road holding on trails is of very good quality and its crossing capacities are very good.
- The reliability of Suzuki makes them highly appreciated by their owners who keep them for a long time.
We dislike:
- The Canadian Trail version offered on the last generation of 2017 (front and rear bumpeled multi-dirs, winch, mudguards) should be offered again.
Skills:
2WD/4WD system with lockable differential
