TOP FEATURES |
Kawasaki-Built 999cc Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke in-line four Engine
Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line four engine offers smooth power delivery and a driver-friendly character, its extremely linear, lag-free response benefitting both acceleration control and ride comfort. High power* (86.5 kW / 116 hp / 118 PS) and high torque* (100 Nm) deliver the performance to get the job done and accommodate a wide range of applications.
*This vehicle’s engine output was measured according to ISO standard 4106.
Continuously Variable Transmission
Continuously variable transmission (CVT) offers very smooth response, facilitating vehicle operation. This contributes to the smooth power delivery—especially from start to 32 km/h. Thanks to carefully tuned engine settings, the CVT belt catch and release is extremely smooth and natural, and ensures that the belt stays engaged until almost completely stopped, contributing to reassuring engine braking on downhill slopes.
For the 2026 RIDGE Series, CVT settings were revised to improve quietness in the medium-speed range frequently used during transportation between worksites. For the 2027 models, quietness enhancement has been expanded into higher vehicle speed ranges frequently used during long-distance travel.

Power Mode Selection
A choice of Work, Normal, and Sport modes allows drivers to set power delivery to suit preference and conditions. The milder throttle response offered by Work mode contributes to superb low-speed control when carrying a load and facilitates maintaining a constant low speed using minimal throttle even when driving on an uneven surface. In Sport mode, the sharper, more linear throttle response suits higher-speed driving. Normal mode offers a balance between the two, offering smooth engine response from the time the throttle is opened.
On-the-Fly Electrically Selectable 4WD & Front/Rear Differential Lock
Electrically selectable 4WD and front and rear differential locks allow drivers to quickly and easily switch between drive systems to suit changing terrain and applications while on the go. Locking the front and rear differentials causes each pair of wheels to act as a single axle, giving the RIDGE CREW true AWD capability and ensuring maximum traction when driving in challenging conditions.

VERSATILE ENGINE PERFORMANCE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONSGame-changing performance
With its Kawasaki-built litre-class in-line four engine mounted in a sturdy chassis, the RIDGE CREW is well-equipped to take on a wide range of conditions. Power Modes and on-the-fly selectable drivetrain adjustability enhance the control offered by the driver-friendly engine and CVT.
*Actual product may vary from image.
Built to Last
Tough engine and rugged frame construction contribute to the RIDGE CREW’s rugged strength and durability. Like Kawasaki’s hard-working MULE side x sides and select TERYX models, the RIDGE CREW is backed by a three-year Kawasaki STRONG limited warranty—a testament to its dependable performance and reliable strength.
*Actual product may vary from image.
Long-travel suspension & front stabiliser
Double-wishbone suspension is used both front and rear to enable each of the wheels to navigate obstacles with minimum effect on the chassis. Long wheel travel (F: 323 mm; R: 322 mm) contributes to both ground clearance and ride comfort. Shock units with dual-rate springs and carefully tuned suspension settings offer superb ground-following performance and a balance of comfort and damping that helps deliver a composed ride and minimises roll speed. A front stabiliser further suppresses body roll when cornering at medium-high speed.
High Ground Clearance
High ground clearance reduces the chances of the RIDGE CREW scraping its bottom, translating to greater accessibility and contributing to superb ride comfort.
*Actual product may vary from image.
30” Tires with 14” Aluminum Wheels
30” large-diameter tires and 14” aluminum wheels contribute to the RIDGE CREW’s excellent off-road capability and smooth relocation between worksites. Machined finishing along the wheel rims calls attention to the large size of the wheels, contributing to an active image.
*All models except the 2025 RIDGE XR CREW LIMITED HVAC.
1000-lb Capacity Tilting Cargo Bed with Detachable Tailgate
At 880 mm long and with a 453 kg (1,000 lb) cargo bed capacity, the RIDGE CREW’s flat cargo bed has plenty of room to carry work equipment—or recreation gear once the job is done. The cargo bed is accessible from three sides, adding to flexibility. The tailgate can be removed* without tools.

VERSATILE CHASSIS PERFORMANCE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONSPurposeful Design
Complementing its litre-class in-line four engine and sturdy chassis, the RIDGE CREW’s long-travel suspension, high ground clearance and a substantial cargo capacity give it the versatility for a wide range of applications.
Chassis Designed for Comfort
Designed from the start with comfort in mind, the RIDGE CREW’s broad stance contributes to a composed handling character and ride comfort. Its frame was designed to accommodate long-travel suspension and the concurrently designed full-cab, ensuring a high level of comfort. On the move, low noise and low vibration translate to serene calm and quiet composure inside the cabin, creating an environment that contributes to greater work efficiency, even on longer journeys.
Roomy Interior with Seating for Six
The RIDGE CREW’s roomy cabin offers ample space for up to six people, with shoulder and legroom for three people to sit comfortably side-by-side in both the front and rear. Contoured seating for the outer four seats provides comfortable cushioning and support. A lever-adjustable driver’s seat and tilt steering allow the driver to fine-tune their position for control and comfort. The rear seats feature comfort-enhancing touches like cup holders and storage nets so that riding in the back is equally as comfortable as in the front.
Control your climate
Factory-standard full cab comes complete with heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), creating a comfortable escape from the heat in summer and the cold in winter. Powerful HVAC performance, a windshield with UV and IR-cut glass (and a flip-up feature on 2027 models), and roof insulation all contribute to effective, fast-acting temperature management in the cabin.

PREMIUM COMFORTElevate your Outdoor Experience
The RIDGE CREW was designed to offer class-leading comfort—from its highly composed chassis to its roomy, adjustable accommodations, and even its in-line four engine, which offers smooth power, low vibration, and low noise. Its full cab with HVAC offers all-season interior comfort.
TFT Colour Instrumentation
A large 8” high-grade full-colour TFT LCD screen built into the automotive-style dashboard contributes to the RIDGE CREW’s high-quality feel. Multiple selectable display modes offer information at a glance in the format of the driver’s choice.
Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS
In addition to vehicle management and maintenance features, Kawasaki’s Powersports-exclusive RIDEOLOGY app offers the ability to keep track of others in the group, record and share trips, and monitor vehicle condition, contributing to an enhanced off-roading experience.
Premium Automotive-Style Interior
A roof and doors are standard on all models, adding to the premium quality feel. The doors feature both exterior and interior latches and electric power windows. The high quality automotive-style dashboard and controls are further enhanced by high-grade fit & finish details like floor lighting, backlit switches and decorative components.
Premium Automotive-Style Exterior
Complementing its active and tough styling, the RIDGE CREW’s premium exterior includes painted fenders and all-LED lighting. The front headlights’ line-type LED position lights create a fierce expression, backed up by a large aluminum Kawasaki emblem on the front grille, a light-looking steel front bumper, and LED accent lights on the bumper shrouds.

Piggyback Suspension & Arched A-Arms
Enhancing the RIDGE CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC’s long-travel suspension, high-quality piggyback-type KYB shock units contributing to excellent rough-terrain capability and ride comfort, while arched A-arms with upward-curved lower arms help reduce contact with ruts and obstacles.
Enhanced Roll Suppression
Complementing the front stabiliser found on the standard models, the RIDGE CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC also features a rear stabiliser. By helping suppress body roll during cornering, the front and rear stabilisers contribute to improved control and high levels of vehicle stability, even when carrying multiple passengers and cargo.
30” MAXXIS Carnivore Tires
30” MAXXIS Carnivore all-terrain tires—the same type used on most Kawasaki Teryx KRX Series models—deliver excellent traction performance over rough terrain. This contributes to improved travelling capability across rough farm roads and forest trails, supporting a wide range of situations from daily work to trail riding.
Front Bucket Seats + Rear Contoured Bench
The PLATINUM SPORT HVAC model’s roomy cabin includes high-backed bucket seats and three-point seatbelts up front. The seats’ form-fitting ergonomic shape was designed with an emphasis on occupant support to help maintain stable driver posture during travel between worksites and operation over rough terrain. This holding performance also contributes to reduced fatigue during extended operation. Both front seats are lever-adjustable.
1000-lb Capacity Tilting Cargo Bed with Covered Side Storage
The RIDGE CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC model’s cargo bed offers ample space and capacity to carry work equipment as well as outdoor gear used for trail riding. Lidded storage compartments positioned on both sides of the cargo bed (load capacity: 4.5 kg per side) provide convenient space for smaller items while helping to prevent them from shifting or falling out during travel.
