2013 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4x4i

Full Featured ATV with Maximum Strength and Maneuverability

This highly capable ATV provides superior V-twin power, sound and smoothness, plus a strong 4-wheel-drive chassis and four wheel independent suspension to deliver an unbeatable combination of performance, handling and value. In other words, the Brute Force® 650 4x4i ATV is a superior choice in the middleweight category.

2013 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4x4i Review

Its 90-degree four-stroke V-twin engine produces impressive low-to-mid range torque, plus enough high rpm power to make any trail entertaining, exactly what adventure enthusiasts and outdoor sportsmen demand.

A fully automatic, dual-range continuously variable transmission delivers the power through low and high range ratios, plus reverse and neutral. Its smooth operation helps maximize traction and also reduces strain on the rider.

Two- or four-wheel drive is selectable by simply pressing a handlebar-mounted button. In four-wheel drive mode, the rider can manage the amount of power to both front wheels with Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential Control by pulling a small control lever on the left handlebar. This is a definite advantage for traversing deep mud, slippery uphill trails or large objects such as logs or rocks.

Using aluminum in the construction of the front exhaust pipe cover, two-piece center exhaust pipe cover, and the muffler cover helps keep the weight down. Other features designed to enhance the Brute Force 650 4x4i’s power-to-weight ratio include drilled gears to reduce transmission inertia and provide maximum acceleration.

A well-engineered front A-arm layout provides ideal caster angle and delivers both light and responsive steering plus excellent terrain-following capabilities. The 650 4x4i shock spring rates and initial preload settings for the front and rear are set to deliver excellent ride comfort. Further ride enhancement comes from the plush and supportive urethane seat foam.

Like the other Independent Rear Suspension-equipped Kawasaki ATVs, the rugged styling of the Brute Force 650 4x4i will satisfy owners and impress onlookers. It shares front/rear racks, skid plate and head light cover with its larger Brute Force 750 siblings. Designed to allow easily manhandling when the need arises.

Stopping the 650 4x4i is a combination of dual 200mm front discs and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system. As an integrated part of the shaft drive, the enclosed rear braking system is sealed in the aluminum swingarm where it operates in an oil bath. This protects the brake pads from mud, dust and debris, and is virtually maintenance-free.

Enhancing the high-performance brakes is the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control system, which electronically monitors ground speed and uses the engine’s compression to help slow the Brute Force 650 4x4i under certain conditions.

This able ATV can pull a hefty 1,250 pounds, and can carry a combined 264 pounds on its front and rear racks. Owners can expand the versatility of their Brute Force 650 4x4i via an extensive line of Genuine Kawasaki Accessories, available through authorized Kawasaki dealers.

As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.

The middleweight choice in Kawasaki’s V-twin powered sport-utility all-terrain vehicle (ATV) family, the Brute Force 650 4x4i offers refined power and handling.
