Real Tough Nut

The Suzuki KingQuad 450 has all the features of Suzuki's flagship KingQuad 750 including superior styling and engine performance, electronic fuel injection, independent rear suspension and a locking front differential to name a few.

All of which make it the best value in its class. Superb power is delivered by the 4-stroke, SOHC, liquid-cooled engine while airflow is enhanced via the dead-straight, downflow construction of the intake tract. Which means more power and torque when it counts. Feeding this powerful beast is a responsive Electronic Fuel Injection system, the only machine in its class to have one.

The KingQuad 450 handles all types of terrain with ease. Cruise along in 2WD and, if the going gets tough, slip into 4WD with the easy-to-use handlebar switch. This engages a limited-slip front differential that can also be set in Locked Mode, perfect for when you need raw pulling power at all four wheels.

Suzuki's QuadMatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) puts the power to the ground with an engine braking system for greater control. And you can also access full engine power in reverse using the handlebar-mounted override button. With so much built in, no wonder the KingQuad 450 is king of its class.
