2012 Kawasaki Brute Force® 300 for Sale

Bodywork and 'Big ATV' Styling

• The Brute Force 300’s durable bodywork was styled after that of Kawasaki’s larger, category-leading Brute Force siblings
• Flush surface fit between the tank, seat and body panels contributes to comfort while aboard as well as a high-quality finish
• Large-volume bodywork (especially the fenders) gives the Brute Force 300 the size of an ATV one class larger, which adds value

Carrying and Towing Performance

• Equipped with robust carrying racks front and rear, the Brute Force 300 can carry 44 pounds of gear up front and 66 pounds in back
• Towing capacity is a substantial 500 pounds
• Behind the front grill is space (and a mounting bracket) for a Warn® winch, which greatly improves the unit’s utility and safety

Convenient Storage

• Front storage compartment is large enough to hold four 16.9-oz. bottles – more than the Brute Force 750 4x4’s front compartment
• A side pocket built into the right fender offers additional storage for smaller items

CVT and Centrifugal Clutch

• System offers an ideal combination of riding ease and control, especially for first-time ATV riders
• This CVT is based on the same general design used on our flagship ATV – the Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS
• Transmission and belt converter ratios were selected for optimum power delivery and the speed range appropriate for a smaller-displacement ATV
• Ratios provide the ideal amount of engine braking for this class of machine, which makes riding the Brute Force 300 easier in tricky situations
• High-strength CVT belt provides a large degree of durability and longevity
• Bevel gear surfaces benefit from a carbon-nitriding process (and shot-peening treatment) for maximum durability and longevity
• The CVT intake duct is located high on the chassis (under the tail) which helps prevent mud and water getting in
• Handy reverse gear makes slow-speed maneuvering easy

Digital Instrumentation

• Features include: Speedometer, trip meter, fuel and temperature gauges, clock, and neutral / reverse / high-beam indicators
• Quality digital instrumentation console is ideally positioned and easy to read

Four-stroke, Liquid-cooled Engine

• Liquid-cooled 271 cc four-stroke engine is designed for smooth power and optimum longevity
• SOHC engine is dimensionally arranged and tuned for an emphasis on low-end and mid-range power, the rpm range in which it will be used most. This power delivery makes the unit easier to control and ideal for utility and sporting roles.
• Engine produces 20-plus horsepower and substantial torque, which ups the sporting and hauling quotients considerably
• Kawasaki Secondary Air system helps minimize emissions, allowing the Brute Force 300 to clear strict EPA and CARB standards
• Polished balancer gear teeth result in precise gear meshing, which contributes to low engine noise
• Air-cleaner duct opening is located high on the chassis, under the handle cover, which helps prevent water, mud, etc. from getting in

Mud Resistance

• The Brute Force 300 features a combination of footpegs and floorboards. The height difference between them is minimized to ensure rider comfort and greater freedom for foot placement.
• The floorboards contribute to mud protection, while the holes in the floorboards are just large enough to prevent mud being trapped beneath the rider’s feet
• Small flaps on the front fenders, near the front of the floorboards, further protect the rider from mud and debris
• Front inner fenders help prevent mud from entering and clogging the engine compartment
