Suzuki’s ATVs are among the most wanted models in their class and there is no wonder why, because Suzuki has basically invented this segment.

Since Suzuki invented this useful machines, have passed 30 years and to mark this anniversary, the Japanese manufacturer has launched a special edition if its KingQuad 500AXi.

The Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi 30th Anniversary Edition features the same technologies as the KingQuad 750 AXi and is powered by a 493cc, 4-Stroke, liquid-cooled, singe cylinder, OHC engine which cranks out enough power to help you deal with any type of terrain without too much fuss.

To maximize the ATV’s off road performances even more, Suzuki equipped it with independent rear suspension, a locking front differential and power steering.

The 30th Anniversary Edition is available in Metallic Matte Royal Red.

Overview

Three decades ago, Suzuki literally invented the four-wheel ATV. The original Suzuki LT-125 established Suzuki as the First on 4-Wheels. With the 30th anniversary of that breakthrough, the Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering carries on the tradition of performance that rules. Boasting the same advanced technology as the extraordinary KingQuad 750AXi, it's engineered to help you cut the work day down to size - or conquer the toughest trails. The 500AXi Power Steering offers plenty of class-leading features including advanced power steering providing lighter steering and more responsive handling, while its fuel-injected 493cc engine gives the 500AXi exceptional performance. Independent rear suspension, a locking front differential and a host of other impressive features place the KingQuad 500AXi at the front of the pack.

30th Anniversary Edition is available in Metallic Matte Royal Red
