The 2026 Teryx KRX4 1000 Blackout Edition is offered with reflective black decals and all its components from the ROPS, A-arms, suspension coils, wheels, and seats are finished in black for a stealth look.

The four-seater Kawasaki Teryx® KRX4™ 1000 sport side-by-side is the ultimate companion for groups seeking high-adrenaline adventures and looking to tackle tough terrains. Its robust 999cc parallel-twin engine, paired with a CVT transmission and centrifugal clutch, delivers unmatched power and torque, making light work of whooped-out trails and technical rock crawling sections. With on-the-fly electronically selectable 4WD and front differential lock, as well as two power modes (Full and Low), drivers can tailor the power delivery to suit their preference and prevailing conditions.

Designed for uncompromising performance, the Teryx KRX4 1000 features a high-rigidity frame with an integrated Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS), positioning the wheels for maximum stability, superb cornering, and straight-line confidence. Showa piggyback shock absorbers, along with long suspension arms, offer the longest suspension travel in its class, ensuring premium cabin comfort even over the roughest terrain.

Equipped with large 31-inch MAXXIS Carnivore tires and 15-inch aluminum wheels, the Teryx KRX4 1000 navigates obstacles with greater ease, providing unmatched traction and control in off-road riding situations. The Teryx KRX4 1000 lineup cabin provides generous space, featuring four high- backed bucket seats equipped with three-point seatbelts for optimal support. Each seat offers ample legroom, complemented by lever-adjustable front seats allowing a total forward-rearward range of 6 inches.

Additionally, the spacious rear carrier area accommodates up to a 32-inch spare tire and boasts a load capacity of 350 pounds. A large all-digital instrumentation screen provides vital information at a glance, including CVT temperature readout and low voltage-warning lamp.

The four-passenger Teryx® KRX4™ 1000 eS features DNA similar to that found on the two- passenger Teryx KRX 1000 eS with a durable 999cc parallel-twin engine that is paired with a CVT transmission and centrifugal clutch. It features an on-the-fly electronically selectable 4WD and front differential lock as well as two power modes (Full and Low) that allow the driver to set power delivery to suit preference and conditions. A high-rigidity frame with integrated Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) positions the wheels as far apart as possible to provide the stability needed while out on the trails. Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) paired with FOX® 2.5 Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks deliver a comfortable and capable ride in a wide range of riding conditions. Thanks to the large design of the cabin, the rear allows for a full-sized adult to sit comfortably in the rear seats.

Large 31-inch MAXXIS Carnivore tires were selected to handle obstacles with ease. The cabin of the Teryx KRX4 1000 lineup offers plenty of room with four high-backed bucket seats and three-point seatbelts that support the driver and passengers during riding.
