KAWASAKI ANNOUNCES NEW 2021 and 2022 VEHICLES


? Teryx KRX 1000 eS: first ever side by side with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension
? KLR650 and KLR650 Adventure: return of the rugged dual sport
? Teryx4 S LE and Teryx S LE: Even greater comfort and capability for Teryx
? KLX230R S: New, low seat makes this entry?level play bike even more accessible


Kawasaki has unleased even more capability and comfort with this latest release of 2021 (and 2022)
vehicles.
The fourth iteration of the incredible Teryx KRX 1000, the eS, adds Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension
to a side?by?side for the first time ever.
Dual sport lovers will rejoice at the return of the KLR650, now with fuel injection, larger brakes, more
generator output and beefier components all around, as well as a new feature?packed Adventure model.
The Teryx and Teryx4 family is bolstered by the introduction of the new Teryx S LE and Teryx4 S LE models,
which feature all new suspension geometry for greater comfort and capability.
Rounding out the release, Kawasaki’s playful and accessible KLX230R opens up off?road adventure for even
more riders courtesy of a new low?seat model, the KLX230R S.


2021 Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 eS


First ever side by side with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension and a 7” TFT
screen


What’s new:


? Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) with FOX 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks
? 7?inch LCD TFT instrumentation screen
The new Teryx KRX 1000 eS is the fourth in the Teryx KRX 1000 line up, and the first?ever side by side fitted
with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension. KECS, paired with FOX 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks
provide unrivalled control and capability for side?by?side owners.
Using a switch mounted on the dashboard, drivers can select from three suspension modes to suit the
terrain and vehicle speed: Normal, for a variety of riding conditions and good stability in corners; Firm, for
higher?speed trail runs (over 65 km/h), and Soft, which is ideal for more technical off?road adventure like
rock crawling and climbing.
The eS features the same core chassis and engine as the highly regarded KRX 1000 and adds a
Kawasaki Quick Release (KQR) sport roof and front bumper for additional protection, plus an aggressive
new graphics package. A bright new, modern, and easy to read 7?inch TFT colour dash keeps riders
connected to their KRX like never before.

TFT Colour Instrumentation


For the first time ever on a Kawasaki side by side we see the inclusion of a large 7” high?grade full?colour
TFT LCD screen. It transforms the KRX 1000 eS interior into a modern cockpit. Multiple selectable display
modes offer information at a glance and provide a level of entertainment for passengers as they navigate
their course.


Three selectable display modes (Digital, Analogue, Simple) allow drivers to select how they want to view
their vehicle information. The screen background and brightness can be adjusted as well.
The instrument’s large screen size makes it ideal for infotainment functions. Features like the Suspension
Monitor, Audio rack display†, and Vehicle?mounted cameras (up to two accessory cameras can be linked to
the display) offer both informa?on and entertainment value for riders. †When linked to an iOS?type
smartphone.


2022 Kawasaki KLR650 and KLR650 Adventure


Return of the rugged dual sport
What’s new:
? Fuel injection
? LED lighting
? Larger (300 mm) front brake with available ABS
? Longer?range, 23L fuel tank
? Digital instrument panel
? Taller, two?position adjustable wind shield
? Larger, stronger aluminium carrier mounts
? Increased generator output
? DC and USB outlets (on Adventure model)


For model?year 2022 the KLR650 returns with a fresh look and a host of updates, including a fuel?injected
engine, new fuel tank design with greater usable volume, strengthened engine and chassis parts, available
ABS, and LED lighting.


The 2022 KLR650 comes in two variations: the standard KLR650 which is available with or without ABS, and
the new KLR650 Adventure that is equipped with panniers, fog lamps, frame sliders, DC/USB sockets, and
Cypher Camo Gray colour.


A longer swingarm and integrated rear subframe help contribute to the KLR’s increased resilience, while
revised aluminium carrier mounts provide better security when carrying luggage on all models. Revisions to
the clutch and gear box further improve the KLR’s famed indestructability.


For reference, the 2018 KLR650 retailed for a base MSRP of $7,199. The new and improved KLR650 starts at
just $7,499, and adds fuel injection, larger brakes, stronger rear frame and carrier mounts, LED headlight,
plus a raft of other updates and upgrades. The 2022 Kawasaki KLR650 is expected in dealerships May of
2021.



2021 Kawasaki Teryx4 S LE and Teryx S LE


Even greater comfort and capability for Teryx
What’s new:


? Wider track and longer wheelbase courtesy of revised A?arms.
? High?performance FOX 2.0 LSC Piggyback Shocks with longer travel and revised suspension settings
Kawasaki Teryx side by sides are built to dominate the most demanding trails with
the perfect combination of rugged sport performance and capability.
Building on the versatile Teryx lineup, the all?new 2021 Teryx S LE / Teryx4 S LE models feature wider tread,
longer wheelbase, and longer?travel suspension to deliver even greater ride comfort and performance.
The Teryx S / Teryx4 S wheels are placed approximately two?inches further apart than on other Teryx
models, and wheelbase is increased by three?inches.


Both the Teryx S LE and Teryx4 S LE are outfitted with quadruple LED headlights, 14” cast aluminium
wheels, three?tone seats, and sun top.


2021 Kawasaki KLX230R S


New, low?seat makes this entry?level play bike even more accessible
What’s new:


? Low 900 mm seat height vs KLX230R (925 mm)
The door to pure off?road enjoyment widens with the KLX230R S. New suspension settings give the new S
model a lower seat height of 900 mm (35 in) ?? over an inch shorter compared to the saddle of the standard
model. This promotes confidence and control for riders of all skill levels.
