Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Kawasaki Ridge!

Kawasaki got our attention back in the fall when they started trickling out teasers that an all-new machine was coming, and it was going to be something pretty special. We immediately kicked our speculation machine into high gear, digging up patent drawings that showed all sorts of crazy features, from individual throttle bodies to a supercharger.

As the teasers got closer and closer to the launch, it became clearer and clearer that Kawi was brining a four-cylinder rec-ute machine to market. Today, we finally clapped eyes on the beast, and it didn’t disappoint. With a 999cc four cylinder, 1,000-pound bed capacity, and a ton of suspension travel, it’s a full-bore rec-ute rig aimed right at beloved machines like the Yamaha RMAX.

We got a chance to get our hands on the rig at the Kawasaki dealers’ meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. We’ve got a full review coming soon, but until then, here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Kawasaki Ridge.
