Specifications

Features

All

• Bodywork And 'Big ATV' Styling: • The Brute Force 300’s durable bodywork was styled after that of Kawasaki’s larger, category-leading Brute Force siblings • Flush surface fit between the tank, seat and body panels contributes to comfort while aboard as well as a high-quality finish • Large-volume bodywork (especially the fenders) gives the Brute Force 300 the size of an ATV one class larger, which adds value
• Carrying And Towing Performance: • Equipped with robust carrying racks front and rear, the Brute Force 300 can carry 44 pounds of gear up front and 66 pounds in back • Towing capacity is a substantial 500 pounds • Behind the front grill is space (and a mounting bracket) for a Warn® winch, which greatly improves the unit’s utility and safety
• Convenient Storave: • Front storage compartment is large enough to hold four 16.9-oz. bottles – more than the Brute Force 750 4x4’s front compartment • A side pocket built into the right fender offers additional storage for smaller items
• CTV And Centrifugal Clutch: • System offers an ideal combination of riding ease and control, especially for first-time ATV riders • This CVT is based on the same general design used on our flagship ATV – the Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS • Transmission and belt converter ratios were selected for optimum power delivery and the speed range appropriate for a smaller-displacement ATV • Ratios provide the ideal amount of engine braking for this class of machine, which makes riding the Brute Force 300 easier in tricky situations • High-strength CVT belt provides a large degree of durability and longevity • Bevel gear surfaces benefit from a carbon-nitriding process (and shot-peening treatment) for maximum durability and longevity • The CVT intake duct is located high on the chassis (under the tail) which helps prevent mud and water getting in • Handy reverse gear makes slow-speed maneuvering easy
• Digital Instrumentation: • Quality digital instrumentation console is ideally positioned and easy to read • Features include: Speedometer, trip meter, fuel and temperature gauges, clock, and neutral/reverse/high-beam indicators
• Four-Stroke Liquid-Cooled Engine: • Liquid-cooled 271cc four-stroke engine is designed for smooth power and optimum longevity • SOHC engine is dimensionally arranged and tuned for an emphasis on low-end and mid-range power, the rpm range in which it will be used most. This power delivery makes the unit easier to control and ideal for utility and sporting roles • Engine produces 20-plus horsepower and substantial torque, which ups the sporting and hauling quotients considerably • Kawasaki Secondary Air system helps minimize emissions, allowing the Brute Force 300 to clear strict EPA and CARB standards • Polished balancer gear teeth result in precise gear meshing, which contributes to low engine noise • Air-cleaner duct opening is located high on the chassis, under the handle cover, which helps prevent water, mud, etc. from getting in
• Grippy And Durable Off-Road Tires: • These traction-maximized tires were developed jointly between Maxxis and Kawasaki • Featuring optimized off-road grip and durability, these tires offer a blend of performance that’s hard to beat
• Key Features: • Liquid-cooled 271cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine offers substantial power and torque, especially at lower rpm levels thanks to optimized engine tuning • Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with centrifugal clutch offers easy control and a high potential for sporty fun • ‘Big-ATV’ styling reflects that of Kawasaki’s flagship ATV – the Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS • Carry racks in front and back hold 44 and 66 pounds, respectively • Digital instrumentation is easy to read and offers a wide range of on-the-go info • Heavy-duty steel-tube frame offers significant durability and competent handling characteristics • Triple-disc brakes are easy to service and offer great power and feel at the levers • Sturdy off-road tires developed jointly by Maxxis and Kawasaki offer an ideal combination of grip and durability
• Mud Resistance: • The Brute Force 300 features a combination of footpegs and floorboards. The height difference between them is minimized to ensure rider comfort and greater freedom for foot placement • The floorboards contribute to mud protection, while the holes in the floorboards are just large enough to prevent mud being trapped beneath the rider’s feet • Small flaps on the front fenders, near the front of the floorboards, further protect the rider from mud and debris • Front inner fenders help prevent mud from entering and clogging the engine compartment
• Other Features: • 3.2-gallon fuel tank and meager fuel consumption give the Brute Force 300 substantial range • A DC socket located conveniently on the left side of the handle cover provides quick and easy power for accessories • Cable-operated parking brake mechanically activates the rear brake without utilizing the braking system’s hydraulics • Thick, cushioned seat offers a high degree of riding comfort • Reassuring recoil starter system offers a backup to the convenient electric start system
• Sporty Yet Durable Chasis: • Steel-tube frame is lightweight and durable, and will withstand a pounding for years of utility or sporty riding • Chassis hallmarks include excellent handling and straight-line stability, capable cornering characteristics via the wide track, and minimal bump-steer • Long A-arms and rear axle give the Brute Force 300 one of the widest tracks in its class, which contributes to its ride comfort and exemplary handling manners • Front track width is 850mm, while the rear track width is 830mm • Front-to-rear chassis balance is optimized for stable cornering and maximum controllability • Steering geometry and front and rear suspension settings have been coordinated and optimized for ideal balance, control and stability • Optimized chassis tuning also contributes to light handling manners at slower speeds, where this unit will spend much of its time
• Triple Disc Brakes: • Dual 180mm hydraulically activated disc brakes with single-piston calipers provide front wheels with prodigious stopping power • A third 180mm disc with a similar caliper is featured in back • A cable-operated parking brake system is also included for extra security when necessary • Optimized master cylinder ratios offer riders an ideal braking balance between front and rear brakes
