2013 Kawasaki Mule 610 4×4 XC Camo Review

2013 Kawasaki Mule 610 4×4 XC Camo

Crawl-Along for Stealth, or Blast Through for Fun!

The ultimate off-road vehicle for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts is what you get when you take a durable Mule™ 610 4×4 XC and wrap it in a premium Realtree® APG™ HD® camouflage pattern.

The Mule 610 4×4 XC Realtree APG HD includes all of the hauling capacity and functionality that make the Mule 610 4×4 a standout utility vehicle. And with an innovative woodland pattern that allows the Mule to melt into the environment, it becomes the perfect hunting vehicle.

The primary visual giveaway to the XC’s off-road goodness is its aggressive, 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn radial tires mounted on 12-inch rims. But there’s also a load of features designed to complement the XC’s more aggressive nature and infuse it with a large helping of what can only be described as cool factor.

The standard Mule 610 4×4 can go just about anywhere, but the Mule 610 4×4 XC takes that functionality quite a few steps further. Not only do those burly 26-inch Maxxis tires provide loads more traction, their extra width increases the Mule’s track by 1.3 inches. Their greater height also gives this Mule a full 8.1 inches of ground clearance. The large tires combine with longer front and rear suspension to help the Mule climb over obstacles, while standard skid plates help protect vital systems.

When designing this stealthy camouflaged Mule 610 4×4 XC, Kawasaki engineers made room for those large tires by kicking the Mule’s front bumper forward 1.2 inches. And while they were at it, the team added genuine Realtree graphics, a comfortable seat covered in a pliable, durable material and a small-diameter sport steering wheel lifted straight from the Kawasaki Teryx™.

In spite of its wide-ranging capabilities and radical design, you can be sure of the XC’s reliable and economical drivetrain. A durable, 401cc fan-cooled overhead-valve engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) feeds power to all four wheels as needed, and simple automotive controls mean it couldn’t be much easier to operate. An enrichening system partially opens the throttle for easy engine starts, hot or cold, and the Mule can be started in forward (Hi or Lo) or reverse gear, provided the brake pedal is applied. Select 2WD or 4WD and away you go.

MacPherson strut front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering combine great bump absorption with light handling, while the Mule’s mid-engine layout and swingarm rear suspension provide plentiful traction in back. A powerful braking system brings it all to a reliable halt.

As fun and hunt-oriented as it looks, the Mule 610 4×4 XC is all about working. A special black-texture paint applied to its 400-pound capacity all-steel tilting cargo bed allows even greater aesthetics and durability, while a 1,100-pound towing capacity means you can haul whatever hunting gear you need. Dual cup holders help keep hunters hydrated, a capacious glove box can carry more than just gloves, and the front hood pops open to reveal more than 12 gallons worth of storage. Accessories include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch and soft or hard tops, all available through Kawasaki dealers.

2013 Kawasaki Mule 610 4×4 XC Camo Features and Benefits

Fan-Cooled, Single-Cylinder Engine
• Simple 401cc four-stroke single is compact, lightweight and extremely durable
• Overhead valve design provides maximum efficiency, and the highly evolved carburetor helps provide excellent fuel economy
• Fan cooling helps the engine maintain an ideal operating temperature
• Cab frame air intake draws clean, uncontaminated air for the engine from the top of the cab
• High-mount exhaust system keeps it dry and out of harm’s way
• An oil temperature warning lamp linked to a crankcase sensor helps prevent overheating

Easy Starting
• The choke opens the throttle during starting, so the accelerator pedal does not need to be depressed
• Stepping on the brake pedal allows the engine to be started in gear

Gear Driven Engine Balancer
• A rotating balance weight within the engine moves opposite the piston, dramatically reducing vibration and minimizing noise and wear for increased comfort and reduced fatigue

Environmentally Friendly Emissions
• Carburetor settings reduce exhaust emissions, a good thing for the environment
• Positive crankcase ventilation system recycles blow-by gases to the intake tract, where they’re burned in the engine
• A USFS-approved spark arrestor in the muffler greatly reduces fire hazard
• California models have a check valve on the tank-to-charcoal-canister hose to prevent gasoline from entering the canister when operating on inclines or over rough terrain

Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)
• A simple and lightweight CVT (continuously variable transmission) is fully automatic and keeps engine speed in the most efficient range for any selected vehicle speed, load or terrain
• Fully automatic transmission features selectable 2
• or 4-wheel drive
• An open-sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life
• Belt deflection can easily be adjusted by changing shim thickness of the adjuster bolt located on the outside of the driven converter
• A die-cast aluminum belt converter has high silicon content for compactness and light weight, and offers excellent toughness and durability
• The belt converter case is sealed to keep out contaminants
• A long-wearing ATV-style double cog CVT belt provides long wear and minimal maintenance
• The belt converter’s air cleaner cover uses a clip-type clamp for easier maintenance and a tight seal
• A maintenance-free sealed bearing unit is used between the front and rear driveshafts

Dual-mode Differential
• Locked mode provides maximum traction in difficult conditions
• Unlocked mode decreases turning radius and minimizes ground disturbance – great for use on grass

Rack-and-Pinion Steering
• Ackerman rack-and-pinion steering provides precise, accurate handling and a small turning radius that facilitates working in tight quarters
• Rack-and-pinion system is durable, simple, easy to maintain and helps reduce tire wear

MacPherson Strut Independent Front Suspension
• Long-travel front suspension serves up a comfortable ride, excellent load-carrying capability and excellent terrain ability
• Simple, rugged single A-arm design provides a tight turning radius for extra maneuverability

Unit Swingarm Rear Suspension
