Class-leading comfort has been a hallmark of Kawasaki’s hard-working side x sides. The MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition delivers on that front, with the new, longer-travel suspension further contributing to ride comfort offered by the composed chassis and roomy interior. Creature comforts like EPS, tilt-steering, handy storage spaces and numerous cup holders are complemented by improved maintenance-related elements.
Kawasaki MULE side x sides are famous for their strength and durability, and the new MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition is no exception. Like other MULE side x sides in Kawasaki’s line-up, these new flagship series models were built to last in a variety of conditions and are backed by a three-year Kawasaki STRONG limited warranty.
The MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition features a front end based on that of the MULE PRO-FXR, including quad headlights. The serious looks reflect the new model’s ability to perform at work sites and in moderate recreation environments, while a silver Kawasaki emblem adds a high-end, premium image.
The MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition improves on the acclaimed engine and chassis performance of the MULE PRO Series models with a new, larger-displacement Kawasaki-built engine and a sturdy chassis augmented with longer-travel suspension, increased ground clearance and Kawasaki’s first self-levelling rear suspension.
