Flat Out in the 2020 Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000! - First Dirt Review 

Been waiting for this! I value your reviews with the best of them! I think Kawasaki did a great job and these machines are even nicer in person! Keep up the good work man!

Out of all the side by side you have reviewed this is the best looking and from your review you seemed pretty impressed yourself. Thanks for sharing.

As a Kawasaki boy, this thing got me Peter reving!

I think Kawasaki did a great job with this machine for having such a great price. I went to see one in person at a motosport store and it’s much taller than all of the utvs there and the seats in my opinion were more comfortable than all of the other utvs.

Having seen it in person this past weekend, I like it. Good looking nicely built machine. Great review!

Watching these things walk past you in Moab while you're in a mostly stock SUV is humbling. They fly through obstacles almost the same pace as dirt-bikes do. I used to not understand why they were so expensive until I watched them scramble up stuff in Moab that jeeps on 35's and up tire sizes were having trouble with.

Great job! I am a fan of the roof! Loved the sunroof option.

TFLoffroad just put Dirt Tracks TV on the trailer. Keep up the amazing work fellas, Cheers!🍻

No doubt that Moab is the 8th wonder of the world, been their many many times. My 2019 YXZ SS SE just eats up these tough trails, and loves the whoops and desert trails as well. I used to own a Teryx T4, it did well in Moab over the rocks so this new KRX will be a step above for sure. Polaris is the one to worry the most -- Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha are clearly in the game now and Polaris will continue to lose market share. They have lost 20 points over the last three years or so.

Best looking UTV on the market in my opinoin

They have came a long way since the Honda Oddessey.

Great review man! I love how much enthusiasm you have doing these reviews. You can tell you love doing this job. How can you not?

Kawasaki should do a TRX Ninja version with a supercharger like the Ninja H2 bike!

I went to the local dealer to have a look at it with my three little grand kids and to get free pizza they always have there on Saturdays. It is a very nice machine, was bigger than it looks on RU-vid videos. I liked it better than the Honda Talon, I ended up getting a RZR 170. Darn grand kids would not get out of it, I think it was there plan all along.

I love this thing! We need a low 60" model!

Awesome video Stephen...love watching these machines..Thanks Stephen..🏁🏁🏁 TFL is Awesome.

TFL. The constant camera angle of watching the driver gets VERY old

The teryx kinda seems like a last but not least deal, they took feedback from sxs users from other competitive manufacturers to make a well round machine

I like the tinted panel roof!!!

That thing with a turbo would sell like crazy in the southeast. Great review

My only complaint about the talon is it didn't come with bigger tires.

Thank you for posting the torque numbers. No one has yet and i think in these heavy sxs the torque number is very important factor everyone skips over

i smirked when i first saw the specs on it. but seeing one in action i was kinda impressed with it. the suspension and drivetrain are beefy. you can see where the extra weight comes from. its not gonna win any drag races but thats not what its all about either. msrp at$24,xxx is whats going to kill sales on it. imo its going to have to be down in the $16-$17k price range to compete with regular xps and base model x3s for it to ever get took off.

Looks like a great machine, love the review. But nobody seems to address the problem of strapping them down to a trailer. why can't they seem to weld in hooks or something to tie to. I have owned several different machines and have always struggled to find places to put a strap.

just got my Kaw 1000. haven't had it out yet looking forward to it. thanks for you video it make me happy to see it do so well. will let you know how I do later

Again you did a Great Review, i would prefer no window in the roof.

Thanks for helping me decide KRX it is !!!👍👍💯

Nice kawi, I’ll still take the Talon

Definitely like the roof especially if you’re out riding and you suddenly get an unexpected rain ☔️ 🌧 that’s gonna help keep you from getting completely soaked and ruin your ride for the day

If Kawasaki really wanted to make "splash", then maybe start with the starting price. Something like $14,999 or $15,999 for the base model TRX.

Im really curious about how the engine braking works? Say your in 4-L going down a steep loose surface, does it only engage the rear tires like a Polaris or does it actually engage all 4 tires?

This is the only dirt racer that fits tall guys.

Maybe when the 2021s come out you could do a demo ride that's what I'm waiting on the 21s good job

Best review I have seen yet way to go

Saw one at a dealer a few weeks ago. IMO the nicest looking (exterior) SXS on the market now, and the suspension and steering components are very beefy compared to most others. Unfortunately the seats are very hard and uncomfortable and the interior design and fit and finish is at the lower end (ie Polaris, Odes, Massimo, etc). The machine is heavy, which means well built, but that does have an impact on acceleration. Thanks for the honest review as always. I'm a Kawasaki fan and I hope this new machine is successful for them and they continue to refine the design and offer related models in the future.

Watch out, Skynet is following you (2:54). lol

Thanks for an excellent and unique review!!

Great ride beautiful place

It’s almost 2024. When is the turbo kit coming?

I just bought a 2023 KRX and I love it but it is under-powered. Its too heavy for that engine. Also you are right about the noise.

Thanks for the great video. Does Moab have a trail guide so you know where to go?

If I'm buying an NA machine, this is the one I'm buying.

Well I like my krx it's alright I'm handicapped and it's hard to get in but easy to get out and it rides much better and it is really smooth on the takeoff so everything in the commercial above it's true and I can't wait to put more miles on

Thanks for video

I could live without the "sunroof" panel. I'd actually prefer the cheaper, all black roof... but it says, "coming soon" so no telling how long til it's out.

It's great climb mode and woops is better than talon but drag talon takes it cvt slower on take off

good machine for Kawi, real world price around 18K would help sell it

You can buy the KRX at different places for 16,200.00.

Nice kawi, looks like they used the lights from the textron havoc

Good looking machine.

Love this thing but what's with all the emphasis on the centrifugal clutch? Yamaha and Suzuki has been doing this for years.

Pretty impressed. But with an ad on for a turbo your looking at like $32,000 (assuming turbo will be around $4000)! Really high.

i like this machine

Called up the dealer in New Zealand to ask if they were getting any in. Yup but the price tag is an eye watering $42k NZD

Very good review.

The race is on now I'm just waiting on the first Japanese company to give me a high performance 4x4 four wheeler non by side. Kawasaki Yamaha or Honda who will get there first

Weird price differences from the States and Canada. Yxz is the most expensive in Canada, but second cheapest in the States. ??

Bout time!.. but $$$$. Thanks for the video!

Can’t beat Japanese brands

Got me tempted to trade in the yxz

check your rear axels we had ours for 3 days and the back axels popped out

Man I love my KRX

Doesn't it look like an off brand razor in the front though? It's all I can see

What trail is this? Renting this on Sunday

The turbo is dead. No info a year later?

They should make one with a turbo

Good video guys

so.....witch is today the best atmospherig carburatet mashine ? i want to buy one next month……..

I was dead set on a the krx trail version tell I seen the interior. Pretty hurt about it. But what finished it off was they don’t even have a 12v charger? Like come on everything has a charger, even some four wheelers..

So for this there is no shifters like its basically automatic?

This or Talon R? 🤔

Dude it sounds great. A lot better than Cam Am’s 3 cylinder. This one sounds a lot like a xp rzr

Where is the rad located?

I’ve got a can am maverick X.3. It’s older than that one and has more interior comforts? Pretty sure if I buy another one it will have to have everything the Polaris has including a radio so going to be hard to sell that one that you’re showing me

Yxz seems to be the best value

You noted Tackling "Wipe Out Hill". Well before SxS's, this was a hill that most ATV riders watched only the highly experienced ATV rock crawlers tackle. So upon listening to your review noting the KRX's suspension and fully understanding a longer wheel base makes all the difference for Conquering Moab and not just watching someone else conquer. Take into account adding more weight for accessories I would NOT buy the KRX until a turbo is a factory option. A turbo with that new centrifugal clutch and a 6 month warranty?? Well for $20K I'll be a spectator a bit longer to see how well this plays out. Please try getting one for a long term review.

Does the krx have 4x4 shuft on the fly or do you have to stop

An exhaust should fix the poor sound.

Compare this to a wildcat xx very similar less hp more travel very plain inside but also very pricey The reason every one else is building there machines heaver is to keep up with cat who did it first. Roll cage not race ready Is there enough charging to keep up with all of the accessories

Only 112 HP?

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always a fan of your reviews, but come on man that grab handle is not, nor anywhere near "pretty tight"

What part fell off on the trail at 4:42?? It is Kawasaki green to.

So it's a green RZR VERY INOVATIVE !!!!!!!!!!

Compare the the Kawasaki to the Polaris please.

Tires are way out past cab, your going to get a lot of mud inside when muddling

I checked one out just yesterday, awesome looking machine, best looking IMO. Very beefy, seems very well built. But to wide, won't fit in my newly purchased $40000 toy hauler. And only 112 hp!? Won't be enough with it weighing as much as it does. Was excited for kawasaki and was ready to trade in the Polaris, not a chance now. To bad, great looking machine.

How is that cvt over the 6spd talon?

Hate sunroofs on anything

Wow Honda and Kawasaki really came up with fresh new looks ;) I realize there are only so many ways to build a UTV but damn. Way to build a slightly updated 6 year old xp1000

You had nothing on how much room you had

I call it slimer

Problem is it with a turbo kit it’s too close to a turbo rr X3 in price. This thing at 22k with the turbo kit would be awesome.

To big can't be used on the east coast trails, 65 inch wide trail systems here, to long also, they dropped the ball as always great foe the desert

Talon does 64mph in LOW RANGE with 31 inch tires. Kawi barely does 30mph?? A belt (rubber band) versus a real geared (6-speed) transmission? 2,000 lbs versus 1500 lbs. Certainly does not seem like a killer to me.

A shame they wont make a 6 speed manual, with a clutch.

Kawasaki should do a narrower version

When you run out of belts your buddy with his Talon that has a real transmission can tow you back to camp! 🤙

so much thoughts in 5 years .. forgets the most basic for offroading .. HOOKS and a freaking tires that actually can be bought everywhere .. not 31

Sorry but looks like a RZR!
