With the creation of the new KFX700 V Force, Kawasaki boldly establishes a new category: the sports ATV with shaft drive and CVT. Those who have yet to ride this impressive new machine can be forgiven for thinking that the terms shaft drive/CVT and “sports” are mutually exclusive. However, one ride on this sporty ATV will convince them that the V Force is indeed the wave of the future.
Part of the KFX700's remarkable performance comes from the gusty 697 cc V-Twin engine. Kawasaki 's largest displacement ATV engine to date features high-performance valve and ignition timing designed to generate impressive output suitable for sport applications. This power is put to the ground via a durable drive system featuring a CVT tuned for sporty performance. For ease of operation, an easy-to-use handlebar-mounted grip shifter is used, allowing riders to concentrate on riding.
During the preliminary development phase of the KFX700 V Force, Kawasaki 's system Technology Department Center used sophisticated computer simulation programs to help develop the new suspension systems. To offer smooth riding over rough terrain, a new, lightweight frame with a single-tube lower frame and long, flat-angle A-arm front suspension was designed. The V Force is the first production sport ATV to use the single-pipe, front tube layout, which are usually only found on serious custom competition machines. The lightweight, racing type front suspension is complemented by an upside down gas-charged traction tyre mounted to lightweight aluminium alloy wheels.
Intimidating is the word which best describes the machine's styling. The combination of the powerful exhaust not from the mighty V-Twin engine and the fierce design of the fenders and bodywork will have other ATV's scurrying for cover at the approach of the KFX700. Any resemblance to our awesome Ninja supersport bikes is purely intentional.
