Kawasaki launch MULE PRO-MX
Since the introduction of the MULE Pro DX & DXT , Kawasaki has looked to continually grow the range of MULE products .
T hese have become the utility vehicles of choice for many professionals from farmers to gamekeepers , able to handle a wide variety of work and jobs . The MULE line up has recently been improved with the MULE Pro MX , an exciting model for the Kawasaki MULE series .
The PRO-MX offers the ideal balance between compact and full size UTVs . With conveniently small dimensions ( 2,795 mm long x 1,525 mm wide x 2,005 mm wheelbase with a turning circle of just 4.2m ), the carrying and towing capacity does not suffer at 317kg and 680kg respectively . These small dimensions are maintained thanks to minimised bodywork overhang , also helping to reduce the chance of knocking or

scraping a bumper when driving off road . Beefy 25 ’’ tyres on 12 ’’ rims provide incredible off-road traction and help to ensure ample ground clearance to protect the MULE PRO-MX .
This single-cylinder 700cc petrol powered MULE is perfectly positioned between the MULE SX and MULE Pro DX , giving customers even greater choice to find the perfect vehicle for their needs . The punchy engine makes the MULE MX-PRO not just a great work machine , but also a joyful weekend ride thanks to the superior torque , resulting in a fun and easy to drive machine . All of this is mounted in Kawasaki ’ s Shinari-tuned frame . Shinari is a Japanese phrase used to describe elasticity , allowing an object to bend without breaking – like a hunting bow – and is the philosophy followed when designing the MUL PRO-MX ’ s frame . Tuned for these Shinari characteristics , the PRO-MX ’ s frame is not only durable , but also comfortable .
Front and rear disc brakes ensure strong , reliable stopping power , further augmented by engine braking . Kawasaki ’ s hydraulic disc system offers predictable performance , matching the pressure applied to the brake pedal .
As on the flagship MULE models , the dashboard is designed to mirror the design and feel of a car and puts all controls within easy reach of the driver . A multi-function display features prominently in the dash and will display a variety of information such as driving mode , speed , fuel , odometer , seatbelt warning , parking indicator lamp and check engine light .
With features previously only found on full-size machines such as power steering , front and rear disc break , independent front and rear suspension and a tilt adjustable steering wheel , the PRO-MX is both well equipped and comfortable . The power steering is monitored and adjusted via the ECU , taking vehicle speed and torque readings into account to determine the amount of steering assistance required .
Its size , style , price and ability make the MULE PRO MX perfect for commercial use , such as farming , but also for pleasure and sport applications . A true go anywhere – do anything vehicle with a RRP of £ 8899 + VAT . To find out more , visit your local Kawasaki dealer or visit Kawasaki . co . uk for the online brochure .
