2013 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4×4
Compact Four-Wheel-Drive ATV Delivers Maximum Utility and Value
This strong ATV is a standout performer in the mid-sized category and it is equally at-home during both work and play. Whether the day calls for serious chores or a serious amount of fun, this solid ATV is ready to deliver. Its torquey and dependable single-cylinder engine, Kawasaki Automatic Powerdrive System with engine brake control and variable locking front differential control all combine to give users the power and control they look for in an ATV.
The Prairie 360 features a 362cc four-stroke engine and a continuously variable transmission with high, low and reverse gears. Its MacPherson strut front suspension and preload adjustable rear shock handle suspension duties, while reliable shaft drive delivers the torque without any fuss.
If additional traction is needed, the rider can send power to all four wheels at the flip of a switch. A limited-slip front differential helps keep steering light and precise, even in four-wheel drive. In extreme conditions, the rider can use Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential Control lever to send equal power to both front wheels. Once maximum traction is no longer needed, the rider simply releases the lever – a simple and effective system.
A combination of dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed, multi-disc rear brake system offer excellent stopping power. As an integrated part of the shaft drive, the rear braking system is sealed in the aluminum swingarm where it operates in an oil bath. This protects the brake from mud, dust and debris, and is virtually maintenance-free.
Additional speed control is provided by the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses engine compression and CVT belt pressure to help slow the ATV under certain conditions.
The MacPherson strut front and a single-shock aluminum swingarm rear suspension give the Prairie 360 4×4 a supple ride with 6.7 and 7.1 inches of front and rear travel, respectively. A large, comfortable saddle and full-sized floorboards with adjustable footpegs further maximize rider comfort.
Its steel front and rear cargo racks can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds. Other conveniences include powerful dual halogen headlights, and a hitch bracket that is standard, permitting the rider to tow 1,100 pounds — the highest towing capacity in its class. Owners can expand the versatility of their Prairie ATV via the extensive line of Genuine Kawasaki Accessories, available through authorized 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.
