Overview

Award-Winning ATV Delivers Big Fun in a Compact Package

The Kawasaki Brute Force® 300 offers all of the strength, durability and functionality that defines the rugged nature of a Brute Force ATV. With its practical price coupled with excellent performance and dependability, the Brute Force 300 is built tough enough to handle years of chores on the farm and loads of fun on the trails. It does all this while also offering an accessible and fun-to-ride feel that can make even the toughest chores a pleasure!

This versatility can be attributed to the easily accessible low- and mid-range torque generated by its powerful, liquid-cooled, 271cc four-stroke engine.
