2027 Kawasaki Mule SX

Description

Meet the 2027 Kawasaki Mule SX 4x4 ST in Timberline Green-a pint-size workhorse that looks like it was dipped in the forest and sent out to get things done. It's built for that sweet spot between utility and recreation: the kind of UTV you can use to haul supplies in the morning and still feel like taking the long way back once the chores are handled. Under the hood sits a Kawasaki 401cc air-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke with fuel injection, making it an easygoing partner that runs on regular gas and fires up with an electric starter. Power comes on with a satisfying shove of torque-21.4 ft-lbs at 2400 rpm-which is exactly what you want when you're crawling along with a load in the bed or pulling something behind you. The CVT transmission keeps things simple, while high/low range and reverse make tight spots and slow, careful work feel drama-free. When the terrain turns from "yard" to "yikes," this Mule stays composed. With selectable 4x2/4x4, a rear differential lock, and a front limited slip differential, it's ready for slick grass, soft dirt, and uneven trails. A tight 10.8-ft turning radius helps it snake through gates and around trees, while 6.7 inches of ground clearance and a front bash plate add confidence when the path gets choppy. Suspension is straightforward and tough-McPherson strut up front and a swingarm rear with preload-adjustable shocks-paired with 24-inch Duro tires on steel wheels for a planted, practical stance. It's not just trail-capable-it's genuine
