Kawasaki’s 2025 UK launches: MULE Pro-FX and Brute Force 450 T-cat

The MULE Pro-FX’s unique features, including self-levelling rear suspension, built-in bed lift kit, power steering, petrol engine and high ground clearance, make this new addition to the Kawasaki range the perfect companion for work and play, the manufacturer said.

Powered by a Kawasaki-built 999cm³ liquid-cooled, 4-stroke Parallel Twin engine combined with a highly reliable continuously variable transmission (CVT), the machine delivers excellent driveability.

Throttle response and reassuring engine braking adds to driver confidence when descending slopes.

The layout has been carefully considered with user maintenance in mind, ensuring easy access to oil filter and air-cleaner filter, while an easy-to-reach air intake contributes to longer maintenance intervals.
 
A ground clearance of 300mm reduces the chances of the MULE Pro-FX touching down, which translates to greater accessibility and increased ride comfort.

Additionally, double-wishbone suspension is used both front and rear to enable each of the wheels to drive over obstacles with minimum effect on the chassis.

For an enhanced user experience, Kawasaki’s high-grade electric power steering (EPS) system is speed sensitive, offering light steering effort at low speed, while reducing assistance as vehicle speed increases to ensure responsive steering. 
 
Befitting for a high-spec machine, electrically ‘selectable’ 2WD/4WD and rear differential lock allow easy changing between drive systems to suit changing terrain and application, plus the dual-mode rear differential provides maximum traction when locked and minimises ground disturbance when unlocked.
 
When go turns to slow, front and rear disc brakes ensure strong, sure stopping power. 

The hydraulic disc system offers predictable performance, delivering brake power that matches input at the brake pedal. And with a load capacity of 453kg (1,000lbs) plus towing ability of 907kg (2,000lbs), the MULE Pro-FX is built for work – hard work!
