I test drove a kobalt blue one this past week. This particular dealer has a couple acres of trail in the back with a nice Little Rock climb. It’s a beast to be sure, but like riding on a cloud. Low range is LOW, this thing would climb like the P5. It’s crazy heavy duty, diffs the size of pumpkins, A-arms super beefy.
May add to the line up....🤔

Things you'll want. This is what we did and if I were you I'd negotiate all add-ons when you make the purchase.
Kaw premium top.
SATV flip out windshield.
SATV tailgate. (there are cooler one's out now)
Kawasaki rear window.
Kawasaki side and rearview mirrors.
Kawasaki mud guard fenders....very important here. Without some sort of mud flaps you and passenger will killed with mud.
Kawasaki A arm guards, skid plate, front large bumper, Kawasaki light kit, front and rear, upgraded alternator kit.
Things to know.
We have a 20 model with about 1500 miles.
The clutch weights in the 20's are crap, the belt is super hard and the clutch sheaves are soft. The results are grooves in the sheaves causing a shifting feeling. Kawasaki replaced our primary and the weights are shot again. Waited 9 weeks for the first one. Supposedly, the 21's are ok but something to be aware of.
The gas gauge reads incorrectly and I've heard guy's with 21's have the same issue. It's not a huge problem but annoying.
Spring sag. Ours is fine but have a friend that lost about 3" of clearance due to sag. He bought new aftermarket springs.
I'll also add, in my opinion, these machines are too low geared. We rarely use low even on trails. The low gears also make the machine a little loud. We ride gravel roads pretty often and I actually prefer our Pioneer for this use. Now for smooth ride, there is no comparison. Even with Fox shocks on the Pioneer, it's not close to the plushness of the KRX. I also really like the sight glass for checking the oil on the KRX. I'd buy one again but there are a few issues to know about.
Good luck!
