” Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position and clock.

” Compact engine design features a 45-degree cylinder angle for maximum ground clearance and lower seat height for quick, responsive steering and agility.
” Gear-driven crankshaft balancer and rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration.

” Using a multi-disc system running in hydraulic fluid, the sealed rear wet brake combines strong, consistent stopping power and greatly reduced maintenance requirements.
” Large-diameter ventilated hydraulic front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power in a variety of conditions.
” Direct front shaft drive eliminates U-joint for greater durability and more efficient power transfer when engaged in 4WD.
” Heavy-duty composite front carry bar and CV joint guards help prevent damage to boot covers and won’t dent or rust.
