2018 MULE PRO-FXT LE

SEATING FOR SIX OR THREE ADULTS

The PRO-FXT can seat up to 6 adults with seat belts….and…it can transform in only 1 minute, with 1 person, to a 3 seat vehicle with increased cargo space. The unique feature of this Mule is the Easy Trans Cab mechanism – 3 seats to 6 seats. Maximise the carrying capacity in the cargo bed in 3-person mode or maximise the personnel transport in 6-person mode. The sliding cargo wall is integrated with the cargo bed and slides easily on nylon pads – 1 person transformation execution.

To transform from 6 person to 3 person mode, release the seat latches and disengage the cargo wall securing mechanism; fold the seat bottom out of the way; slide the cargo wall forward; lower the cargo wall and reattach the seat to secure the cargo wall.

EXTENDED RIDING RANGE

A 30 litre fuel tank offers the range to enable long forays with family and friends. Enough fuel to travel well into the bush to find that perfect camping spot and to get back out again.

POWERFUL ENGINE: INLINE TRIPLE

Making its mark in a Kawasaki MULE, the three cylinder petrol engine offers significant performance gains over earlier models. In addition to greater towing and carrying capacity, this stronger performance also translate to a higher top speed – which means arriving at your destination earlier, and having more fun getting there.

Powerful, liquid cooled, 812cm³ DOHC, 4 valves per cyclinder, fuel injected inline triple engine churns out significantly more power than the MULE 4000 Series models. Ample low-end torque contributes to smooth, responsive power at low speeds.  Fuel injection ensure the fuel delivery is instantaneous, contributing to predictable response for easy control.

HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES

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.

Front Discs are 212mm and gripped by two-piston (27mm) calipers.
Rear Discs are 212mm with single 34mm piston caliper. Semi-metallic brake pads offer the right balance between braking power and long life.

DURABILITY

Kawasaki MULE side x sides are famous for their durability and the MULE PRO-FXT LE is no exception.  Built to last in punishing conditions, Kawasaki’s  flagship MULE also looks tough thanks to the rugged styling. The rugged frame construction ensures great durability as well as superb handling. The frame festures a ladder-type construction and is built from square tubes of high quality steel.  High tensile steel has been used in area of high-load (like the suspension mounting plates).

After undergoing extensive stiffness balance testing, the frame offers good lateral and torsional stiffness. The right amount of chassis flex to handle the shock of off-road work while maintaining a high level of ride comfort.

ROPS approved cab frame and and inertia reel seat belts are standard for added peace of mind. Always wear an approved helmet and read the owners manuals.

BUILT TOUGH

In addition to the tough engine and rugged frame construction, numerous features add to the PRO-FXT LE’s strong build:

• Water-resistant engine backing plate, spark plug cover, CVT duct layout and differential breather layout are all designed to minimise the ingress of water.
• Front and rear wheel housings keep mud, dirt and water from getting into the engine compartment and away from essential components.
• Efficient air cleaner design, inluding a labyrinth layout, rubber seal and paper filter element helps keep the engine free from dust
• High quality stainless steel exhaust system
• Larger guage mounting bolts used at the A-arm pivots and suspension upper and lower mounts were chosen specifically for their contribution to suspension durability.
