250-hp Supercharged Performance

• MAXIMUM POWER: At the heart of the all-Teryx®4 H2 and Teryx®5 H2 high-performance sport side x side is Kawasaki’s newest 250-HP¹ supercharged engine that is built beyond belief.
• 999CC IN-LINE 4-CYLINDER SUPERCHARGED ENGINE: The Kawasaki-built 999cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line 4-cylinder supercharged engine raises the performance bar in the sport side x side category and enables the Teryx4/5 H2 side x sides to accelerate seamlessly and to operate in a significantly higher speed range than other Teryx® models. Since the supercharger is driven by the engine rather than exhaust gas, the Teryx4/5 H2 does not have the lag associated with a turbocharger and benefits from strong, instant acceleration. Designed in-house, the highly efficient centrifugal-type supercharger for the Teryx4/5 H2 is based on that of the balanced supercharged engine of the Ninja H2® SX hypersport motorcycle and offers high efficiency over a wide range of engine and vehicle speeds.
• THE SOUND OF PERFORMANCE: In addition to the exhilarating howl of an in-line 4-cylinder engine, you and your passengers are treated to 2 excitement-enhancing sounds unique to a supercharged engine. The first is the chirping sound, like that of the Ninja H2® hypersport motorcycle, produced when letting off the throttle suddenly from high-rpm, causing an abrupt drop in impeller speed, and it no longer matches the speed of the intake airflow. The other is a low growling sound, unique to the Teryx4/5 H2 side x side, that is heard when back-pressure waves hit the impeller when driving at very slow speed and is a sign that the supercharged engine’s massive power is on stand-by and is ready for action.
• SMOOTH ACCELERATION: The use of a high-capacity, rubber-belt continuously variable transmission (CVT) capable of withstanding high HP and high rpm was key in achieving smooth, linear power and acceleration. The CVT settings keep the engine speed in the optimum powerband, and without power drops associated with shifting, every push of the accelerator pedal delivers direct, lag-free response. Carefully considered CVT design, cooling system, and optimized belt design with enhanced shape, thickness, and durability help translate the massive power from the high-output, high-revving supercharged engine into forward momentum. The CVT intake duct flows twice the volume of cool air inside the CVT case compared to the Teryx KRX® 1000 side x side, which also contributes to CVT belt life. The CVT temperature is also displayed on the instrument panel for easy monitoring. A gate-style shift lever allows you to easily select from Forward High, Forward Low, Neutral, and Reverse. The three-position transmission has gear ratios optimized for the Teryx4/5 H2 side x side's top speed. With a greater load on the transmission from the high-output engine, louvres on the under guard and fins on the primary pulley help keep things cool.
• ADJUSTABLE POWER DELIVERY: On-the-fly electrically selectable 4WD and front differential lock enable you to quickly and easily switch between drive systems to suit changing terrain and applications. 2WD offers light steering, 4WD offers enhanced traction while keeping steering light, 4WD + front differential lock offers maximum traction. Power Mode selection offers the choice of Full, Mid, or Low power to suit preference and conditions. Full Power mode: Unrestricted engine output allowing you to experience the full potential of the supercharged engine., Mid Power mode: Engine output is approximately 80% of Full, and reduced output further enhances control and is convenient for cruising., Low Power mode: Engine output is approximately 60% of Full, and reduced output enhances control for low-speed operations like backing out of a trailer.
• POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO: From the crankshaft, cams, pistons, connecting rods, and driveshaft to the frame and suspension were all purpose-built and designed with robust strength to be able to handle the high power of the supercharged engine. The very linear power delivery facilitates control while still being quick on its feet thanks to the light overall weight.
• OPTIMAL AIRFLOW: Dual snorkel air intakes, one for the supercharged engine and one for the continuously variable transmission (CVT), are located behind the rear passenger doors. Pre-filters at the intake entrances help ensure minimal dust ingestion. In the engine intake, a Donaldson air filter located downstream also offers superb dust collection performance. As the impeller pumps air into the supercharger, the high-pressure air is then routed to an intercooler that helps minimize heat gain by cooling the intake air and allowing a greater volume of air to flow, contributing to overall performance. A combination of optimal placement of heat-generating components, an electric fan below the intercooler, tandem radiators, a liquid-cooled oil cooler, and more contributes to efficient cooling for the high-output engine. Electronic Throttle Valves, blow-off valve, and diffuser all play a key role in optimal airflow. Intake and exhaust ports were also optimized for the high-power supercharged engine. Long-duration, high-lift camshafts facilitate the high-volume airflow. The high lift helps large volumes of air enter and exit the combustion chamber quickly, and with the wide overlap, intake air is used to help expel the spent fuel-air mixture out the exhaust ports.

33-in. Tires & KECS With Acceleration Sensors

• MAXIMUM CONTROL: Knowing that power is nothing without control, Kawasaki engineers went to great lengths in designing the transmission, frame, and suspension to allow drivers to take full advantage of the engine’s potential, resulting in smooth, linear power delivery, a highly composed character, predictable handling, and confidence-inspiring brakes.
• ALL-TERRAIN TIRES WITH 16-IN ALUMINUM WHEELS: The 33-in Maxxis® Carnivore Plus tires were designed for high-speed operation. These all-terrain tires offer an excellent balance of grip, slide control, and traction with an off-road pattern that offers excellent grip for running at high speed across the open desert. The 16-in aluminum flow formed wheels offer both light weight and high strength. On Teryx4/5 H2 Deluxe eS side x side models, the wheels feature bead-lock rims designed to hold the tire beads in place in off-road riding situations, further enhancing the high-grade, sporty looks.
• ENHANCED PERFORMANCE WITH KECS: The Teryx®4 H2 side x side features high-performance FOX 3.0 Internal Bypass shocks with position-sensitive damping to deliver a plush, predictable ride. The Teryx4/5 H2 Deluxe eS models enhance the ground-hugging suspension with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS). Massive FOX 3.0 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks with electronically controlled compression damping deliver superior composure and enhanced performance across a wide range of riding situations. Acceleration sensors mounted on the suspension arms and trailing arms enable more rapid sensing of changes in the terrain. Instructions for damping optimization are delivered to the suspension more rapidly, better enabling the wheels to track over the ground as the cab remains in place.
