Kawasaki’s new Teryx 750 side-by-side 4X4 is an all-terrain workhorse that knows how to play. It’s also a sporting RUV (Recreational Utility Vehicle) that can work like a dog when necessary. The Teryx is a good, fun load-bearer that can go where most 4X4s can’t, while providing the sort of freedom usually reserved for bikes and quads. With a top speed of just under 80km/h, this side-by-side RUV can carry a driver, passenger and 227kg of freight or fodder across the harshest terrain, with the ability to easily haul 591kg of loaded trailer in its wake. The Teryx’s key features include: the gutsy 750cc liquid-cooled V-twin, mounted amidships for optimum weight distribution; Kawasaki’s Automatic Powerdrive System continuously variable transmission; digital fuel injection; snorkel; selectable 4X4 with variable front diff control; sport-focused suspension; high-performance brakes; 26-inch tyres; tilting cargo-bed; ergonomically designed cockpit with loads of space and comfort; multi-function digital display; state-of-the-art bodywork with maximum engine and undercarriage protection; 30l fuel tank for long range travel and; compact design to fit into the back of most bakkies.

To be the best, you need the best equipment. Suzuki’s lightning quick QuadSport Z400 (LT-Z400) features a new Suzuki fuel injection system that gives it cleaner, quicker and stronger acceleration than ever before, making it the ideal machine for thrilling sport riding on the track, in the sand or through the bush. Key features include: more stable power under a wide range of conditions; better fuel efficiency; superb handling thanks to front and rear piggyback-reservoir shock absorbers; redesigned chassis, making it more agile, responsive and smoother; fully adjustable front and rear suspension preload and compression, and rebound damping. The all-new Suzuki fuel-injection system features a 36mm throttle body and 12-hole injector that delivers the fuel/air mix in an efficient fine-mist spray pattern, while the engine control unit uses a 16-bit CPU and a 96-kilobyte ROM unit, programmed to obtain improved traction by selecting the optimum injection volume, injection timing and ignition timing based on throttle position, engine rpm, and other data monitored. The front track is also widened by 25mm to improve overall stability.
