Groundbreaking 116-hp

The 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine—paired with a smooth CVT and efficient intake and exhaust—responds with confidence whether you’re working hard or riding for fun. Selectable Power Modes and 4WD with front and rear differential lock* add another layer of control in low-traction conditions. *RIDGE® ST HVAC is equipped with rear differential lock only.
• MORE CYLINDERS, MORE MUSCLE: With 4 cylinders, RIDGE® packs more muscle, more torque, and a smoother ride quality than that of other side x sides. Tuned to deliver an impressive 116 horsepower¹ and 73.8 lb-ft (100 Nm) of torque*, the high-performance in-line 4-cylinder engine delivers controllable and smooth power instantly and keeps cabin vibration to a minimum.
