2010 Kawasaki Mule 610 4X4 XC[edit | edit source]
If anything, the Mule 610 4X4 XC is the result of crossbreeding a standard Mule 610 with the Teryx RUV. It retains all the functionality and dependability of the former and infusing a massive dose of sporty feeling form the latter. This machine now rolls with 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 radial tires, has a wider track, better ground contact, better ground clearance and is more comfortable thanks to the all-new seat, engineered with long-range comfort in mind.
The brakes have also been tweaked for a sportier feel and the exhaust was also raised to move it to a safer position. Still, the Mule 610 4X4 XC has a tilting bed for unscathed UTV functionality.
2011 Kawasaki Mule 610 4X4 XC[edit | edit source]
The 2011 MY Mule 610 4X4 XC is an interesting Kawasaki utility vehicle which looks like a crossbreed between a traditional Mule and Teryx SxS. Ready to work, and equally eager to explore the wilderness, the Mule 610 4X4 XC shows off bigger, 26" Maxxis tires for enhanced terrainability. This, in turn, offers a bigger ground clearance which is a great asset when riding fully-loaded across rough terrain.
2WD and 4WD is available on demand, and the Mule 610 4X4 XC can also be started in any gear as long as the rider presses the brake pedal. Easy to operate and straightforward, this UTV has an automatic transmission and a tilting cargo bed with a diamond plate steel bottom.
2012 Kawasaki Mule 610 4X4 XC[edit | edit source]
When Kawasaki decided to make a cross between the Mule 610 4x4 and the Teryx, the 2012 MY Mule 610 4x4 XC was born. Made for those with a more adventurous side, the XC will take one further from the job site so he or she may explore the wonders of the dirt.
Features worth mentioning are the XL 26" Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 radial tires mounted on 12" wheels for superior off-road capabilities and the Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS) which features a selection of two or four-wheel drive, whichever better suits the rider.
2013 Kawasaki Mule 610 4X4 XC[edit | edit source]
The 2013 MY Kawasaki Mule 610 4x4 XC has taken the Mule 610 4x4 a step further. Having larger, more aggressive-looking 26" radial tires, not only does the XC resemble more with its Teryx cousins, it has improved off-roading capabilities too. Larger tires mean more ground clearance, and more ground clearance means that larger obstacles can be overcome.
Also, the suspension has longer arms to accommodate the new tires, thus increasing rider comfort and the four-wheeler's ability to move across a wider range of terrains.
On the tech/engine side, this ATV comes forth with a simple and lightweight 401cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine. The transmission is a proven Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System and continuously variable, with selectable 2WD or 4WD.
