I thought there was supposed to be a press release today and they were teasing a possible KRX 4 seater.
I haven’t seen anything. I would be very interested in a 4 seat model if they upped the horsepower a little.
Anyone hear or see anything?

Kawi has all the resources to smoke everyone.
Wish they would
I have had 2 Teryx’s although low powered they never had 1 issue. And the one I drove like a fucking rental.

I think a 4 Seat KRX with 150hp would be reliable and sell well.

Very depressing news, the suspension was already the best stock out there, they didnt need the live valve. As mentioned above they need a bump in HP to make it a great machine, a 4 seat would be nice too!

Makes you wonder why they don’t do it? 4 seat and more HP.
They would take a good chuck from can and and Polaris I they did.
Do they hate money?
Same for Honda they shit the bed with the Talon. Only thing it has going for it is the transmission.

You know how many Honda nut huggers are out there that would buy a 30k Honda SxS. I sure as fuck would.

He’ll look what people are paying for a unit that don’t exist because it should be a quality product.

When I look at the big Three I'm puzzled as well by their reluctance to dive headfirst into this market as innovators vs bringing up the rear. Still gun shy from Yamaha's original litigation slaughter ? Are we West Coasters underestimating the Mid-Western market for farm use versus dunning and rock climbing ? I was reminded of that viewing a recent thread or post showing red neck mudbogging. Amazed to see so many Ranger types and narrow trail machines, an obviously different market.

I too have had 2 Terxy and loved them both. I had first generation and second and loved them. The twin really was a great engine. I would definitely be interested in a four-seater if they released one.

Personally I dont think they were ready in time this model year to do a 4 seater and add some HP. Would love to see a NA putting out about 140HP and forced induction around 180-200 range!
Good friend bought a talon and he is not impressed with it so far, said biggest complaint is how noisy it is. He has owned 3 rzrs in the past.

Engine sound with my high-revving Yamaha based Wildcat XX engine has taken me some time to adjust to. After so many years with the Putt-Putt- Putt Polaris sound and generally low-rev cruising. Hearing this thing scream at 5-6K when you're barely moving and have a ton of pedal left, is certainly weird at first. Yet you keep pressing, the CVT accommodates and the revs keep climbing and screaming.

A 4 seat KRX Turbo would dominate the current market.

The 2 seater is well built, and good looking, it is just slow for the wide open stuff. For tighter trails I don't think you'd notice it much.

For crawling, it is probably the best car period. Put it on 35's and let it eat.

I too am waiting for a 4 seater KRX with more HP to add to the family. My wife inherited my 07 and converted it to grocery getter.
