Yep, more suspension and less "plastic fantastic " look that they're all going for. You're not considered a "Brute" if everything around you is as tough as you are. Still love them and I'll keep my 2 Brutes but only have 5 grand into the pair.
On my 2020 Brute, the first thing I did was upgrade the tires to 28” Zillas on 14” wheel. Clutch kit from dalton to compensate for the tires. And a set of stage 1 shocks from Elka. The machine is perfect, and definitely a Brute!!
I bought a 2023 Brute 750 and immediately ordered tires and wheels for it, 27's of course. I got it on sale just under 9k and then I added a warn winch. It may not be the latest and greatest but I didn't have to pay for that either. I'm very happy with my purchase
With the updated look if they had revised the suspension it woulda been awesome. This motor has been deserving of a better suspension and chassis for a long time.
I don’t like the new “Cfmoto” look but I do like the new pod light and screen. The motor is tough as nails and the power can either be docile or mean depending on how you feel like riding. The gas mileage kinda sucks but it’s a twin so bring some extra fuel for long rides. I’m a Honda guy but wanted to try the rubber band system. This bike has its place for sure and shouldn’t be overlooked.
This was a great review. Very honest. I have a 21 and I absolutely love the quad, but I feel like the upgrades on the 24 just ain't enough for me to trade up. The suspension isn't great at all, and that new fancy screen still doesn't show water temp. 25" tires on big quad is just a joke at this point. Great review.
The clearance doesn’t bother me as much as the lame difflock. It’s relatively easy to upsize tires and add a lift but any diff lock mods are a hack at best.
The Japanese manufacturers, have always been conservative, in terms of upgrading an already winning design. If it isn't broke, don't fix it! I've owned two brutes, a Teryx4 LE, and now a KRX 1000! GREAT machines!
Nobody does product improvement by adding "Bold new Graphics" and not much else like Kawasaki. The KLR650 is a prime example, along with the Brute. Both have had the same architecture for decades, and they wonder why they don't sell that well. And it's a shame because Kawi's are such well built machines, but suspension designed in the 90s with 0nly 9 inches of clearance? Thats not going to cut it in 2024.
Kawasaki rates these at only 50 hp, the same as the single cyl Suzuki 750 King Quad (actually 722 cc) and the new 650 cc rotax single in the can am “700”. Are they underrated or is Kaeasaki really only getting that much hp out of a 750 twin?
Suspension sucks …good power until mine locked up at 2k miles…. I’ll never buy another… worst machine in our group of sportsman’s , king quad, grizzly and some smaller Hondas…. Hope you have better experience than I did
Yep, I've had exactly the opposite experience. Have 8 of them in my circle of family and friends, and none have been bad. One of mine has almost 28,000 miles. Get that from a Polaris and you'd be the first!
Fully cosmetic changes they could have at least used the 800 cc brute that's in the utility sxs it's the same engine more cc with some good tuning they could probably get 60 plus hp and bring it to life from the factory throw some better shocks and 26 inch tires
@@concealit4800 Agree…you get it. I would add in general that the update should have been more than just a facelift. Increased suspension travel and get rid of the differential lock trigger would be my two requests. I personally think the motor is enough if those other functional items would be addressed.
Very nice machine. Makes me miss our old Kawasaki Bayou 220…that thing was unbelievably durable!

When you testing out the Suzuki king quad 750?

sounds perfect.....I saw 26-27s on this in my head as he was riding it.

Yeah this engine is solid and got plenty of power, it's just limited by an old frame, kinda lik the rincon
Love Brute Force. Lightweight and great power.

very good review. you should use gps to test top speed as compared to the speedometer. the readings aren't always identical

Besides power steering it's the exact same thing as my 2008, which is still running like new. I put elkas on mine
Going to do a review of the brute force 450?

What kind of helmet do you have? I have a hard time finding a big helmet
They changed the aux wiring at the rear can't hook up a reverse light.
Bluetooth is nonfunctional
Personally I like it a lot…….maybe even enough to upgrade for my next machine

Got to test the Suzuki king quad 500 as well
We agree. Suzuki has yet to provide us with a tester.
@@tkpowersports Bummer,great content anyways! Been watching since Tfl days, I’m from Ontario myself
thats the same old question to be answered. for it and the king quad. if its priced correctly . then sure . if it aint broke no nneed for a change.
That’s a brand new 20 year old atv
They did a good job but could have did a lot more

Test drive a newly designed 2025 Canam 1000R XT-P. This Kawi is old-news
Nice looking bike i calls it. Are they reliable bikes is the question.
Kawi is tough as hell bro.

It’s a great looking disappointment, in my opinion.
Explain?
@@Islandlazy99 No.
