- Interestingly, the Suzuki KingQuad 750 fits into the same horsepower category as the Polaris Sportsman 570, Can-Am Outlander 570, and Arctic Cat Alterra 600. But, I think I like it quite a bit more than any of those machines. #KingQuad #ATV #ArcticCat

I've owned many Cat ATV's.... Bought all of them new......1998 454 5 speed 4x4 (5100 miles), 2002 500i 4x4 auto (3250 miles), 2006 400 auto 4x4 (2900 miles) and a 2009 Thunder Cat 1000 4x4 auto (2700 miles and counting... still own it) and have had nothing but satisfaction from them. None of them ever left me stranded ever, Not once. Hunting, farm work, plowing snow. So don't believe everything you hear about a product from misinformed friends or the internet. Nice video and nice machine.
I have a 2007 KingQuad 700, I bought it brand new and it’s the best ATV I’ve ever had. It’s got power, and it rides absolutely perfect with the independent suspension. If I do decide to purchase another ATV it will be the KingQuad 750
I have had the se+ version of this for about 4 months now and i love it. The waterproof storage is awesome. Another thing to note is the power port on the right hand side. Its a huge plus for any accessories or just for charging you phone. After getting through the break in period I have been able to truly test it in the woods and it handles everything with ease!
I have a 2017 Alterra 700. Very nice machine. At 3000miles it needed arm bushings and some shock bushings. Can't complain about that. But AC also worked with Suzuki for a long time before taking their engine learnings and making their own.
For those who like Can-Am's, lots of maintenance to keep up with those. Bushings often if you ride trails, and the shock bushing cannot be replaced, so enjoy a costly shock purchase too every so often. AC, bushing was $5 and took 10 min to replace.
I have a 2021 kingquad 500axi great atv, and just bought a 2022 kingquad 750axi. Both awesome machines. Would definitely recommend
After both working and sport riding the 750 King Quad I can easily recommend this machine, they are great bikes
Loved my 18 KQ. I despise steel racks. I've always had a hard time tying down things due to the lack of a flat surface.
Your bang on for many of your points. And yeah the shifter is great in the KQ. The powerband is nice too. Does it really matter that it starts flattening out in the 45-50mph range, not unless you're drag racing.
Solid axel Ranchers are fun, but this King Quad is on another level. My favorite ATV.
I bought a new KQ750 in 2021. So far it's been an excellent machine
I have a little bit of everything now, but I'm a big Suzuki fan, looking forward to seeing what you think of it on the trails.
Sharp looking machine, thanks for the video
I really like the 2006 arctic cat 650 h1 ATV
Kentucky is so green. Greetings from a Kentuckian that lives in Central Texas.
I have a 21 king quad best machine I have ever owned
I love the Arctic cat. Difference of opinion.
Both my Alterra 400 an 700 are junk!
Suzuki is moons ahead of Arctic Cat in the engineering department.
Good review. I noticed you never mentioned the Yamaha Grizzly 700. That is another great bullet proof machine, I'd say right next to the Honda but with more power. My brother-in-law has an 06' Grizzly 660 and it's still going strong. Cheers!
I've got a 2020 yamaha kodiak 700 and its a good machine but i don't like the hydraulic brakes vs the disk brakes in the grizz. Also the clutch is to high geared for low speed work like spraying even in low range. Sucks you have to put a clutch kit in a new machine to get what you want. Also the power steering sucks compared to the Arctic cat i used to have.
which is odd. the grizzly is more regarded than pretty much any machine available right now. did he have one issue on one yamaha and decide the brand sucks? thats the nice thing about being unbiased and having the sense to know that all brands can have problems. between brand loyalty and/or him or somebody he knows having problems with a yamaha or more than one, i cant see why he WOULDNT consider a grizzly
I let myself get talked into buying a cfmoto 600 touring model. So far after 200 miles, it’s been great. But I read in a couple forums that people are having problems with the battery or the starter and a few other electrical issues. And I don’t feel confident when I’m 15 or 20 miles from my truck or I’m down in a canyon. I can say that if it ever leaves me stranded, I’ll be trading it in on a kingquad. Cfmoto does build engines for other companies like KTM.
I sat on both the king quad and alterra 600 ltd that were side by side at the dealer. I thought the king quad felt "cheaper" of the two. I couldn't really do a real test ride of either of them at the dealer.. really small lot.
I ended up buying the arctic cat, last May, and have about 120 miles on it so far, I'm real happy with it.
My only hesitation is if the stock battery will fire it up when it inevitably gets down into the teens and single digits.
I added heated grips and a heated seat, nylon winch rope. The dealer had already mounted a clock and go plow on it. I also added some super bright led's front and rear, along with the 3" luggage rack extenders.. I think it's a pretty sharp looking rig.
Nice machine myself only ever had Cat atvs a 08 still have a 2014 two up cat and my old reliable 2016 mudpro . Love them but my thoughts after 2017 and cat sold to textron i would now not buy cat .
The mudpro treats me well usally bushings and outter bearings every 3 k if ride lots muddy water . My machine loves cold weather been riding at 29 below celcus as rule ride minus 10 to 20 all the time great review cheers 👍
Now that you've had a year with it what's your intake. Appreciate a response. Thanks Shane
Japanese build the best bikes. King Quad is a awesome bike. Yamaha Grizzly is great too. But I really dig on my Brute Force 750.
I’m like you with the bad back and I still kept my trx but opted for a cheap side by side. Ordered a massimo MSU 850 for working around the farm
I agree on the Cats. Own 2, a Diesel and a 700 TRV, great reliable machines. Textron fubared em. Will keep the older ones, especially the diesel. If the TRV dies, will look at the KQ.
I had a 05' 700 King Quad. Great Machine, good Quality. Just got the wife a 23' Polaris 450 because of the new seat comfort, one brake does all design and simple 4x4 system. But i do think(know) the Japanese Machines are better engineered and built to last longer. I have a Kawaski that rips
And with the Suzuki king quad in the rear they have that stabilizer bar if you want more articulation in the rear you can take that off so if you’re going down slow trails you want your rear end to articulate more it works great for that it takes away from some of the high-speed stabilization but if you’re not gonna do a lot of high speed you’re fine Nice thing is it’s real easy to takeoff and put back on. I have a 2021 Suzuki 750 king quad SE in camo, before this one I had the king quad 700 and before that one I had another Suzuki quad.
What's the warranty on the belt/CVT? Yamaha is 10 years.
I thought you might get something else after riding the Can am . Looks good. Do you prefer atv over a side x side. Enjoy the new rides.
Honestly, there's just something more fun about tossing around an ATV. Plus they can fit more trails.
oil pressure monitoring?
Great review! Have you checked out Kawasaki? I have had great reliability with the four units I have.
Have you ever had overheating issues, I'm looking for a new atv and I'm stuck between the King Quad 750 and the Brute Force 750 but I've heard countless times the Brute Force always has overheating issues which is a little discouraging
be interesting to hear about what you think after you have put in some miles, where I live in Australia new government regulations have seen nearly all new quad sale's stop , as they require a roll over protection device, Polaris, honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, can-am have stopped bringing in quads over this new rules. their is some examples of racing quads (Yamaha) that are still being sold and you can still get can-am 6x6, as well as the kids fun quads, the cf-moto is still available as they have fitted their own style of roll over protection. but the main brands decided that they have pulled out of the quad section for Australia. part of the compliance requirements was a hang test which tested the angle at which the bike got on to two wheels and the other was the top speed and both had to be put on label's and visible for the rider. so buyers could see and compare different bikes before buying and riding,
I've noticed that many ATVs that were common here 5 years ago are no longer sold. Very interesting.
@@4-LOW quads were very versatile and now trying to replace them with side by sides doesn't quite match up , but with the new rules and regulations it's what is trying to happen, some of the smaller Mid size sxs are going to be popular. the second hand quad market went through the roof in the last 6 month's to the point where bikes 10 year's old were getting back that same amount of money for what was paid new. The (OPD) quadbike operator protection device is what they have made mandatory for all new and second hand imported quads as well as they require a static stability test (hang test) with the % of angle stated That That bike reached at point before tipping writin on a placement card. this came into place just before the end of last year. one of the reasons why say Honda pulled out of the quads is that they think that the OPD will course more accidents and problems , if you look into this they have a point bit like your bar on your lawn mower
Oh by the way if you ever wanna get different tires I highly recommend a Maxxis original big horns I think they have a big horn 2 but go with the original big horns those things will take you anywhere they are a radial tire the handling characteristics will improve greatly over the stock tire. I’ve done great in snow mud dry hard pack rocks slick clay, excellent tire.
I found big horns to be too grippy for the KQ's front geometry. I bought some and within 6 months transferred them to my Alterra and loved them on that machine.
When a buddy came for a visit, I had him try the big horns then the stick and he left the stock ones on for our rides because he felt the radials were too stiff for bumps and too grippy when turning at speed.
You will be very happy you didn't go with the Artic Cat. I bought one and the top end went at 345km only driven on hunting roads. When I brought in there was 4 there with blown clutches. They bought my artic cat back and I picked up a new suzuki 750 king quad matte grey. Glad I got rid of the artic cat when I did. Hard learned lesson.
All my Arctic Cats have been bullet proof..
I bought a 13 king quad and your brand new one is only different in the plastics. Suzuki didn't change anything through the years. I liked it at first but there's a lot of things they need to change and update to get with the times.
How well does it handle the cold? -20 f if anyone was wondering
I’ve had my king quad 700 out in minus 15-20 it did fine I have a friend that still goes out in that same area with his king quad 750 and has zero problems with it in that temperature.
we went from Honda to the kingquad 750 also and love it my wife has a 2017 with over 2500 miles and the only thing weave done is change oil mine is a 2019 with 2100 miles same thing change oil I would buy another one
What about the yamaha or kawasaki 750
My 22 outlander 850 has 39 miles now. I was looking at the 570 at first, I think it it’s too much power really. I came from a 01 foreman 450. We ride in east Kentucky.
You dodged a bullet if the Artic Cat was on your radar for purchase. lol
Shouldnt the displacement effect the fuel consuption more then how many cylinders it has? I heard that the can am 570 is realy the same engine as the 650 just detuned, so if you tune it it gets 62hp or something like that.
only in the 570 xmr from 2022-current is that true. all it takes is a quick trip to can-am's website.
Not here in europe. all the 570 models are 650's detuned.
@@soulis1000 in the USA the only 570s that are detuned 650cc are the XMRs from 2022 and up. unless can-am specs are wrong, which they can be
We have a newer Grizzly 700 and a 2022 King Quad 750. I like the Grizzly in every way better than the KQ.
They should of filled your tank , they did on mine
@rugby Wjat is he so wrong about? Sounds apot on to me.
You don’t happen to know which arctic cat you looked at? (Which 600). I guess the LTD and SE are different than the standard 600s
Glad you didnt get Arctic Cat there junk now days. Textron took over and ive had alot of problems, with my Alterra 400, and my Alterra 700, junk dont buy em!
CFMOTO is king
How can you be so wrong on everything. You work for Suzuki?
