2012 Suzuki KingQuad 400ASi
For performance that rules, you can’t beat the Suzuki KingQuad 400 lineup. The KingQuad 400ASi (Automatic) offers an unrivaled combination of exciting sport performance and hard-working capabilities. The 2012 has Suzuki’s class-leading fuel injection and all-new digital speedometers.
So whether you’re tackling a tough job or a tough trail, you’ll appreciate their impressive torque and remarkably wide powerband. It also lets you select two- or four-wheel drive operation quickly and conveniently, which gives it the versatility to handle rough conditions, daunting chores — or let you enjoy a backwoods getaway. Its aggressive styling also reflects its willingness to take on tough jobs.
KingQuad 400ASi: with a strong powerplant engineered for impressive torque across a wide powerband and a technically advanced QuadMatic™ transmission, the Suzuki KingQuad 400ASi 4×4 Automatic offers exciting sport performance matched by hard-working capabilities.
Built Tough
Drawing on expertise gained with farm-bred fuel injection systems for the legendary KingQuad 750 and KingQuad 500, Suzuki has now applied this leading edge technology to the KingQuad 400 range.
The KingQuad 400’s fuel injection system uses 3-D ignition maps for smooth and responsive power throughout the rev range, along with benefiting from more consistent cold starts for improved reliability.
The revised 376cc 4-stroke 4-valve engine features new cam profiles for more usable power, whilst the redesigned exhaust system helps improve efficiency and overall performance.
The KingQuad 400 also features an easy-to-read LCD digital display with a speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, hour meter, clock, fuel gauge and more, allowing riders to track their progress easily and efficiently.
And since it’s a KingQuad, you know you’re in for an incredible combination of gutsy performance and lightweight agility.
