BRAKES & WHEELS
Front and rear disc brakes ensure strong stopping power and a hydraulic disc system offers predictable performance, delivering brake power that matches input at the brake pedal. Front discs measure 212mm and are gripped by two-piston calipers. The calipers feature 27mm pistons. On the rear, a 212mm disc is slowed by a single-piston caliper with a 34mm piston. Semi-metallic brake pads offer a balance between braking power and long brake life. Pulling the parking brake lever located on the dash to the left of the steering wheel activates the rear brakes. The ECU features a fuel injection cut control that limits engine speed in case the driver attempts to ride away with the parking brake still engaged.
The MULE PRO-FX 1000 and MULE PRO-FXT 1000 models come equipped with 26-inch tires that are mounted to 12-inch rims. The large 26-inch radial tires allow for obstacles to be easily conquered and contribute to the vehicle’s excellent handling. The MULE PRO-FXR 1000 is equipped with 27-inch bias-ply tires that deliver enhanced performance and excellent ride comfort. The tires also offer excellent cornering grip, matching the MULE PRO-FXR 1000’s nimbler chassis.
ROOMY INTERIOR
Thanks to the wide-body chassis, a roomy interior space is achieved and offers the shoulder and legroom for three adults to comfortably sit side-by-side with the six-passenger MULE PRO-FXT 1000 able to accommodate three more passengers in the rear. The seat material features superb elasticity, offering increased comfort and durability. The material is also resistant to cold, allowing it to maintain its suppleness when temperatures drop and reducing the chance of tearing or ripping when exposed to cold temperatures. On select models, the front bench seat features contoured seating for the driver and right-side passenger, while the center position is flat.
On the MULE PRO-FXT 1000, the rear seats are upright and rear-seat passengers have ample room for their legs behind the front seats, both features facilitating getting in and out of the vehicle. The MULE PRO-FXT 1000 features a rear bench seat positioned slightly higher than the front seats, contributing to passenger comfort and allowing them to see down the trail.
Grab handles and holds for the front and rear passengers contribute to ride comfort. Front passengers can take advantage of grab handles integrated into the frame, while a wide bar across the back of the front seats offers hand holds for the rear passengers.
Each seat is equipped with a three-point seatbelt to support the driver and passengers during operation. Anti-cinch seatbelts for the driver and front-right passenger on the MULE PRO-FXT 1000 Platinum Ranch Edition and MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition contribute to increased ride comfort.
Doors are a standard feature on all MULE PRO 1000 models, offering mud protection while facilitating getting in and out of the vehicle. A simple latch allows the doors to be opened and closed. Also standard on each of the models is a plastic roof, offering passengers protection from elements while out riding and contributing to a high-class image.
