Suzuki Announces Additional 2016 Models

New KingQuad 750 leads the pack

June 2015 Powersport News

Trusted for years as a feature-packed performer, the Suzuki KingQuad was the first ATV to give owners the capabilities they demanded with industry-first features and valued reliability. Twenty five years after the creation of the original, the 2016 lineup of KingQuad ATVs proves that “Nothing's Built Like a KingQuad.”  

2016 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi

The 2016 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi returns with the hard-working utility-sport features that make it a class leader, plus enhancements including a new front grill design, a redesigned speedometer cover, new tires and an updated side cover that eases access to the oil-level check. Available in standard and power steering models, the KingQuad 750AXi comes in Red, Black, and True Timber XD3 Camouflage finish. A Special Edition model for 2016 features Matte Black body work along with power steering and the rest of the KingQuad’s top-grade features.

The KingQuad 750AXi’s single-cylinder four-valve fuel-injected engine is big on torque and delivers the right balance of low-end grunt and top-end power. The engine’s twin-spark-plug cylinder head improves combustion, eases cold engine starts and allows for consistent performance.

The 750AXi models also provide a confident and controlled ride thanks to independent front and rear suspension that features rider-adjustable spring preload shocks. The machine maintains a low center of mass because its fuel tank positioned low beneath the comfortable T-shaped seat.

The KingQuad 750AXi ATVs and their engines are assembled with pride in America at the Suzuki manufacturing facility in Rome, GA.
 
Key Features of the 2016 KingQuad 750AXi Power Steering and 750AXi ATVs:

  • 722cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine features fuel injection and dual overhead cams and produces mighty low-to-mid range torque along with strong high-rpm output.
  • The engine’s top end is canted forward 48 degrees, helping give this KingQuad the lowest seat height in the class.
  • The twin-spark-plug cylinder head is designed for optimum combustion. It uses projection-type spark plugs for better cold engine starts and more stable performance.
  • Multi-hole fuel injector delivers a fine-spray fuel-and-air mix. And the engine’s pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system and catalyst-equipped exhaust deliver clean emissions.
  • Reverse and differential-lock limiter monitors vehicle speed so a higher engine rpm can be used when getting out of mud or loose ground in reverse and differential-lock mode.
  • Compact and lightweight electric power steering delivers lighter steering in a variety of conditions to reduce rider fatigue. (LT-A750XP/XPZ power-steering models only)
  • The fully automatic QuadMatic continuously variable transmission uses a durable V-belt and centrifugal clutch for efficient and consistent performance.
  • The KingQuad’s advanced engine-braking system helps the transmission control speed on descents and when pulling a load.
  • The torque-sensing front differential has three modes—2WD, 4WD or differential-locked 4WD—and they’re easily selected with a handlebar-mounted button.
  • Fully independent suspension system with adjustable shock absorbers. At all four corners, shock absorbers are adjustable for five different preload settings and can be easily adjusted out on the trail.
  • Front dual hydraulic disc brakes and rear sealed oil-bathed multi-disc braking system deliver strong and consistent stopping performance.
  • Suzuki’s exclusive T-shaped seat is designed for all-day comfort and easier body-weight transition.
  • The fuel tank is positioned below the seat to help keep the machine’s weight center low. The tank’s ratcheting gas cap is easy to tighten.
  • The low-mounted fuel tank and canted engine allows the air intake to be positioned high on the vehicle to avoid water and debris.
  • LCD instrumentation includes speedometer, odometer and twin trip meters, clock, hour meter, gear indicator, fuel gauge, and drive mode readouts.

2016 Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi

The Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi ATVs are equipped with many of the same high-quality features as the KingQuad 750AXi. These full-size ATVs run the same chassis, suspension and brakes as the 750AXi KingQuad models, and are powered by a 493cc fuel-injected four-valve engine, delivering highly capable utility-sport ATVs at a lower price.

The 500AXi family includes standard and power steering models and all are available in Red, Green and True Timber XD3 Camouflage finish. A Special Edition 500AXi model for 2016 features Matte Black body work along with power steering and the rest of the KingQuad’s top-grade features.

2016 Suzuki KingQuad 400ASi and KingQuad 400FSi

Both these KingQuad ATVs feature fuel-injected 376cc four-stroke, four-valve engines tuned to produce the right blend of hard-working power and trail-response fun. Suzuki's class-leading fuel injection contributes to smooth power output, especially in the mid-to-high range, as well as more consistent cold starts. The fuel-injection system uses 3-D ignition maps for optimum ignition for crisp throttle response and a clean burn that produces low emissions.

The KingQuad 400ASi uses Suzuki's technically advanced QuadMatic transmission. This fully automatic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) features high- and low-range settings and reverse. Its advanced engine-braking system minimizes free-wheeling with the throttle off and helps control the vehicle during steep descents.

The KingQuad 400FSi gives riders a five-speed manual transmission with automatic clutch, making it the ideal performer for riders who prefer the control of a foot-shift transmission. The Suzuki KingQuad 400ASi and 400FSi models come in several colors: Terra Green, Flame Red, and True Timber XD3 camouflage. A Special Edition King Quad 400ASi model for 2016 features Matte Black body work along with rest of the KingQuad’s top-grade features.

The KingQuad 400ASi and KingQuad 400FSi are assembled with pride in America at the Suzuki manufacturing facility in Rome, GA.

Key Features of the 2016 KingQuad 400ASi and KingQuad 400FSi

  • Fuel-injected 376cc 4-stroke 4-valve engine uses refined camshaft profiles, ECU programming and a carefully designed exhaust silencer to produce powerful and efficient performance with smooth power output, especially in the mid-to-high rpm range, as well as more consistent cold starts.
  • Powerplant temperatures and reduced with SACS, Suzuki’s well-proven, efficient air/oil-cooling system.
  • The QuadMatic fully automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), has an advanced engine braking system that reduces free-wheeling to help control during steep descents (on KingQuad 400ASi models).
  • Five well-spaced transmission ratios lets KingQuad 400FSi riders select the best gear for the riding conditions.
  • Easily selectable wheel-drive modes; switch into 2WD or 4WD using a handlebar-mounted lever.
  • Torque-sensing limited slip differential provides maximum traction and light steering effort when in 4WD mode.
  • Highly efficient iridium spark plug contributes to better combustion and cleaner emission. Engine starting under low temperature is also improved.
  • Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system and catalyst converter in the exhaust produce cleaner emissions.
  • The ECU has slip control logic, which improves drivability and grip on loose/slippery surfaces.
  • Reverse mode limiter monitors vehicle speed so higher engine rpm can be used when getting out of mud or loose ground in reverse.
  • Independent front A-arm suspension. Swingarm rear suspension with unique dual shock absorbers delivers the riding comfort.
  • Lightweight and strong plastic skid plates are sturdy enough to withstand the pounding from trail hazards yet slippery to help let obstacles slide below.
  • LCD digital Instrumentation includes speedometer, odometer, trip meter, hour meter, clock, fuel gauge and indicator lamps for reverse gear, neutral, oil and FI.

2016 Suzuki QuadSport Z90

The Suzuki QuadSport Z90 is the ideal machine for a young rider to learn how to properly enjoy ATV riding. Best of all, this youth machine is 100 percent Suzuki, so quality and value are foremost.

The QuadSport Z90 is powered by a compact 90cc four-stroke, air-cooled engine designed for consistent performance, durability and low maintenance. It features electric starting plus a backup recoil starter. A smooth-running CVT automatic transmission provides easy operation and allows the rider to focus on riding instead of shifting.

Adult supervisors can use the speed-limiter feature to control the ATV’s performance while the rider gains skill and experience. Controls and the seat height are the proper scale for young riders.

QuadSport Z90 is designed for adult-supervised riders age 12 and older, and is available in white with Suzuki blue accents.
