Works and plays better than most, costs less than almost all
A dependable two-wheel drive, mid-size utility with great towing capacity that is both fun and efficient to operate? That would be the Prairie® 360 ATV. With its disc brakes, shaft drive and CVT transmission, the Prairie 360 is certainly easy to afford, yet offers premium features and class leading function.
The Prairie 360 is powered by a 362cc air-cooled, single cylinder, four-stroke engine combined with Kawasaki’s continuously variable transmission (CVT). With high and low forward gears plus reverse, the CVT enables the engine to operate in its optimal rpm range, providing maximum torque regardless of speed or riding conditions.
The Prairie 360 utilizes a trustworthy shaft final drive, while dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system bring the ATV to a controlled halt.
For additional stopping power, the Prairie 360 features the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses engine compression to help slow the ATV in technical maneuvers such as crawling at low speeds over rocks or descending steep downgrades.
The Prairie 360 rides on supple MacPherson strut suspension up front with 6.7 inches of travel, while rear suspension duties are handled by a sporty, single-shock aluminum swingarm delivering 7.1 inches of travel. It also features a large, comfortable saddle and full-sized floor boards with adjustable footpegs for maximum comfort.
Other conveniences include powerful dual halogen headlights and steel front and rear cargo racks that can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds. A hitch bracket is also standard, permitting the rider to tow 1,100 pounds. Owners can expand the versatility of their Prairie ATV via the extensive line of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories, available through 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.
