The headline is big power—an inline-four 999cc engine with a gear-driven supercharger claiming 253 horsepower—but the story is broader: a highly refined chassis, predictable handling, and KECS electronic suspension (FOX 3.0 Live Valve) that ranges from plush “floaty” comfort to high-speed flat stability. The Deluxe ES models add a 10" Garmin Tread display and premium touches, while the 5-seat configuration debuts the first factory five-passenger sport SxS bench with retractable 4-point harnesses. Acceleration in dirt is ferocious; on high-traction surfaces the CVT clutching can feel soft off the line, though indicated top speed hits ~100 mph before the limiter. Overall, ride quality, stability, power delivery, comfort, and tech integration feel dialed and worthy of the hype.
Key Highlights
- Models: 4-seat H2, 4-seat H2 Deluxe ES, and 5-seat H2 Deluxe ES (Canada gets the 5-seat Deluxe ES).
- Shared hardware across trims: same chassis, engine, driveline, wheels/tires; differences are seating and included extras.
- Deluxe ES adds: 10" Garmin Tread in-dash with door speakers, FOX 3.0 Live Valve, and KECS (Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension).
- First factory 5-seat sport SxS: rear bench with retractable 4-point harnesses for three passengers.
- Powertrain: 999cc DOHC inline-4, gear-driven supercharger, 25
