Kawasaki Ridge UTV Review
Transmission:
The new Kawasaki UTV’s in-line four is mated to a CVT transmission that’s similar to the one found on the Teryx KRX UTV, except it doesn’t utilize a wet centrifugal clutch. The clutch tuning was spot on, and it didn’t feel much different than the centrifugal clutch setup on the KRX. It features a “Catch and Release” engine braking technology which provides a predictable, smooth and stable downhill engine braking feel. The engine braking on this setup is flawless and works great in each of the three drive modes and is smooth and seamless in high, low and reverse.Â
