PEAK PREMIUM PERFORMANCE
The all-new lineup of RIDGE® side x sides raises the off-road standard to entirely new heights. RIDGE® XR is the most powerful Kawasaki side x side ever made, featuring an in-line four-cylinder engine at its core and automotive-inspired details for premium comfort. This is off-roading like you’ve never seen before.
RIDGE® CHANGES EVERYTHING
For the first time ever, a Kawasaki side x side features a 999cc in-line four-cylinder engine. Strong acceleration, next-level power and torque, and precise speed control are built into RIDGE® for an extremely smooth ride. Automotive-inspired touchpoints abound inside RIDGE, exuding unparalleled comfort. The highly composed chassis and suspension work together to inspire confidence even on the most challenging terrain. And with HVAC models, you’ve got the ability to control your own climate, even when scorching heat, blistering cold, or fierce storms surround you.
TRAIL-READY RIDGE® XR
For more trail capability, there’s RIDGE® XR. RIDGE XR is equipped to take you farther than ever before, with more horsepower, trail-tuned suspension settings, larger tires and more. Now you can adventure with supreme comfort: RIDGE XR comes standard with true 4WD and both front and rear differential locks. When off-roading calls for next-level performance, RIDGE XR is ready.
WELCOME TO PEAK PREMIUM PERFORMANCE
Introducing RIDGE® and RIDGE® XR, where rugged performance and premium comfort combine. This isn’t a game-changer, this is a new game entirely. This is a new era in off-roading.
EXPERIENCE IN-LINE FOUR
The new side x side standard has as many cylinders as it does wheels. A 999cc Kawasaki in-line four-cylinder engine gives RIDGE® 92 horsepower, while RIDGE® XR goes above and beyond with 116 horsepower.
ELEVATE THE OUTDOORS
Off-roading has never been so comfortable. Class-leading comfort is a main feature of RIDGE®, boasting thoughtful design and an automotive-inspired touch down to the last detail.
ENJOY THE RIDE
The chassis and suspension work together to provide the smoothest ride in a side x side. A balanced, stable ride ushers in the confidence to take off-roading to the next level.
CONTROL YOUR CLIMATE
No matter what’s going on outside, take control of what’s going on inside. Advanced heating and cooling in the comfort of an enclosed cab is the ultimate way to enjoy the outdoors.
EXPECT LASTING QUALITY
Like all our side x sides, RIDGE® is built Kawasaki STRONG. Durable craftsmanship shines in every detail of every model, from the aluminum wheels to the hard roof, and everything in between.
