2012 Kawasaki Prairie® 360 4x4

The Prairie® 360 4x4 ATV is versatile leader in the mid-sized category that ably mixes work and R&R. Whether the day calls for serious chore duty or a serious amount of fun, this solid ATV can handle the job. Its torquey and dependable single-cylinder engine, Kawasaki Automatic Powerdrive System with engine brake control and variable locking front differential control all combine to give users the power and control they look for in an ATV.

The Prairie 360 features a 362cc engine with a continuously variable transmission with high, low and reverse gears. The MacPherson strut front suspension and preload adjustable rear shock handle suspension duties. And shaft drive means minimal maintenance.

If additional traction is needed, the rider can send power to all four wheels at the flip of a switch. A limited-slip front differential helps keep steering light and precise, even in four-wheel drive. In extreme conditions, the rider can use Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential Control lever to send power to both front wheels. Once maximum traction is no longer needed, the rider simply releases the lever – a simple and effective system.

Stopping power on the Prairie 360 4x4 is provided by a combination of dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system. Further speed control is provided by the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses engine compression and CVT belt pressure to help slow the ATV under certain conditions.

The MacPherson strut front suspension and a single-shock aluminum swingarm rear suspension give the Prairie 360 4x4 a supple ride with 6.7 and 7.1 inches of travel front and rear, respectively. A large, comfortable saddle and full-sized floorboards with adjustable footpegs further maximize rider comfort.

Its steel front and rear cargo racks can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds. Other conveniences include powerful dual halogen headlights, and a hitch bracket that is standard, permitting the rider to tow 1,100 pounds — the highest towing capacity in its class. Owners can expand the versatility of their Prairie ATV via the extensive line of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories, available through Kawasaki dealers.
