SPEED & PERFORMANCE PROFILE

65 MPH Governed Top Speed:
The 2021 Teryx KRX 1000 eS delivers confident trail performance with a governed top speed of 65 mph . The 112 horsepower motor is capable of more, but Kawasaki’s electronic limiter ensures reliability and controlled operation appropriate for serious off-road use . This speed limitation is perfectly suited for technical trails, rock crawling, and backcountry exploration where low-speed control matters more than outright velocity.

999cc Parallel-Twin Engine:
At the heart of the KRX 1000 eS is a robust 999cc DOHC parallel-twin powerplant delivering 76.7 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm . Engine highlights include:

• 8-valve design with DOHC for efficient high-rpm breathing
• Liquid cooling for consistent operation in demanding conditions
• DFI electronic fuel injection with dual 50mm throttle bodies for crisp throttle response
• Tuned for durability and strong low-end torque with a broad powerband
• Dual snorkel air intakes (one for engine, one for CVT) recessed behind doors to reduce dust ingestion

CVT Transmission with Centrifugal Clutch:
The automatic CVT features high and low ranges plus reverse, with a centrifugal clutch that provides very controllable low-rpm response and smooth engagement and takeoff . The sides of the CVT belt are always engaged, so the centrifugal clutch allows smooth take-offs while promoting belt longevity .

Selectable 4WD with Locking Front Differential:
On-the-fly engagement lets you switch between 2WD and 4WD instantly. The locking front differential provides maximum traction in mud, rocks, and loose terrain when engaged .

Engine Braking System:
Integrated engine braking assists with controlled descents on steep hills, reducing brake fade and providing confident downhill performance .

KECS ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION (EXCLUSIVE TO eS)

The Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) system is the first-ever fitted to a side-by-side and represents a game-changing advancement :

FOX 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass Shocks:
High-performance FOX 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks with piggyback reservoirs combine with a Bosch Electronic Control System (including a 6-axis IMU) to deliver unrivalled control . The system:

• Takes input from the 6-axis IMU, engine ECU, and steering angle sensor
• Adjusts compression damping in real-time based on terrain, speed, and driver input
• Features position-sensitive damping that changes depending on the operating zone of the suspension stroke

Three Selectable Suspension Modes:
Dashboard switches allow drivers to select from three suspension modes on-the-fly :

Mode	Best For	Description
SOFT	Technical sections at lower speeds (rock crawling, climbing)	Road-holding performance improved; obstacles tackled comfortably
NORMAL	Wide range of riding situations	Plush feeling ride with firm anti-bottoming and enhanced handling
FIRM	Higher-speed trail runs (over 65 km/h)	Firmer settings provide increased performance and driver reassurance

Suspension Travel:

• Front: Double wishbone with 18.6 inches of travel
• Rear: 4-link trailing-arm with 21.1 inches of travel

Ride Quality:
The KECS system provides a decided advantage in control and comfort compared to standard suspension . The FIRM setting offers almost no body lean in turns and improved control at a brisk pace, yet even hitting rocks at higher speeds is not harsh . All suspension settings are trail-appropriate .

7-INCH TFT COLOR INSTRUMENTATION

For the first time on a Kawasaki side-by-side, the eS features a large 7-inch high-grade TFT color LCD screen that transforms the interior into a modern cockpit :

Display Features:

• Three selectable display modes: Digital, Analogue, Simple
• White backlighting with three adjustable brightness levels
• Bluetooth connectivity for call and message notifications
• Automatically adjusts time of day when linked to smartphone
• Supports accessory audio and vehicle-mounted cameras (up to two)

Multi-Function Display Includes:

• Digital speedometer
• Bar-style tachometer (2 display options)
• Bar-style fuel gauge
• Gear indicator (L, H, N, R)
• Power Mode / Driving mode (2WD/4WD/4WD+Diff Lock) indicator
• Economical Riding Indicator
• Clock, odometer, dual trip meters, hour meter
• Water temperature, digital battery gauge
• Bar-style CVT temperature gauge with warning lamp
• Suspension monitor

The CVT temperature gauge is particularly valuable, warning drivers of conditions that may shorten CVT belt life .
