Finally, late last year Kawasaki unveiled a new, remodeled version of its Brute Force 750. True to the 750 cm3 V-Twin engine recipe, it has been carried over without many modifications to the ATV. However, the vehicle has been upgraded to bring it up to date.
In its previous version, the Brute Force 750 engine still performed very well in the worst conditions imaginable. Its fiery character makes it a pleasure to use on trails and is the cornerstone of this model. It is a 749 cm3 liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 90-degree V-twin engine. It develops approximately 50 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque. Although this no longer places it among the leaders in the category, the power-to-weight ratio remains good. To be honest, the power of the Brute Force 750 is more than enough to transport its rider at a very good pace through the woods. The Kawasaki automatic CVT transmission offers a wide range of engine speeds for ample pulling power and rapid acceleration.
The reinforced double cradle frame is also carried over from the old version. It still provides a good level of handling on rough trails. For such a big bore ATV, it remains surprisingly agile and easy to control in tight situations. However, when the pace picks up, the narrow width of 47.1 inches accentuates the roll and the ATV does not put the rider at ease.
The four-wheel independent suspension is firm, but has been recalibrated to offer better comfort when touring. Despite this, Kawasaki continues to offer an ATV that is more focused on performance than on the plush comfort found in the competition. Its 4×4 traction system is effective and when the going gets tough, the front differential can be manually locked to the user’s preference using a lever on the handlebar.
As for the bodywork, the Brute Force 750 looks very good. The lines are contemporary and emphasize the robust side of the vehicle. LED lighting is fitted at the front and rear and an auxiliary LED headlight is located in the instrument pod. The advantage of this headlight is that it lights up in the direction in which you turn the handlebar before the bodywork starts to move. The quad offers a very decent amount of storage space, including two waterproof receptacles in the front luggage rack and on the left fender, as well as a net on the right fender to hold a bottle. The driving position is comfortable and the splash protection is good. The speedometer is now a small, 4.3-inch color LCD screen that is very easy to read.
As for its working capacity, Kawasaki claims a towing capacity of 1250 lbs, which is a lot considering the weight of the machine.
The vehicle is available in three trim levels: Base, EPS and LE. The EPS version adds power steering and plastic luggage door covers to the base version. The LE version also offers alloy wheels and hand guards.
WHAT’S NEW?
Model updated in 2024.
We like:
- The redesign that brings the appearance of the quad bike up to date.
- The sporty and lively character of the vehicle that sets it apart from other vehicles in the industry. Without being the most powerful, it is still agile.
We like less:
- The width of 46.1 inches, which does not help roll stability.
- Honestly, we would have liked Kawasaki to go further in its update.
