Mule PRO-DX (MY21) – Kawasaki

MULE PRO-DX side x sides combine the rugged full-size MULE PRO chassis capability and versatility with the hardworking muscle of a diesel engine. This compact, high-capacity, three-passenger vehicle has the ability to move gear, tools, materials and people at the jobsite.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

993cc, three-cylinder diesel engine with massive torque packs impressive pulling power for hauling and towing heavy loads across challenging terrain. Dash-mounted 2WD/4WD and rear differential lock final drive selection switches allow you to easily and instantly optimise traction to match terrain conditions.

Engine torque and power are matched to the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to offer usable power delivery throughout the rpm range to get you through those tough spots even when loaded to capacity. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) also contributes to smooth, consistent engine braking that helps to maintain reduced vehicle speed during descents.

FRAME

Kawasaki MULE side by sides are famous for their durability, and the MULE PRO-DX is no exception. Built to last, Kawasaki’s MULE PRO Series line-up also look tough thanks to their rugged, no-nonsense styling. After undergoing extensive stiffness balance testing, the frame offers good lateral and torsional stiffness. The right amount of chassis flex to handle the shock of off-road work while maintaining a high level of ride comfort. ROPS ( Roll Over Protection Structure) approved cab frame and and inertia reel seat belts are standard for added peace of mind. Always wear an approved helmet and read the owners manuals.

The MULE PRO-DX combines a wide-body chassis with a 2,345 mm wheelbase. This contributes to riding stability and comfort, while offering easy operability and manoeuvrability. Wide track: 1,385 mm (front), 1,315 mm (rear) contributes to vehicle stability. The stable chassis platform is complemented by front and rear independent suspension that adds to ride comfort. Wheelbase of 2,345 mm enables a relatively short 4.8 m turning radius, which facilitates negotiating tight corners in the bush or on trail courses. The wheelbase and ground clearance: 265 mm result in a favourable breakover angle: 26°, which reduces the chance of bottoming out when cresting a ridge or riding over a fallen log. High approach and departure angles : 78° and 64° also contribute to off-road performance. Minimising bodywork overhang reduces the chance of hitting the bumper or scraping the tail when going up or coming down steep slopes.
