Kawasaki has expanded its Teryx KRX lineup for 2027 with the introduction of two new trail-focused models: the TERYX KRX 1000 TR and TERYX KRX4 1000 TR. Designed specifically for riders who frequent tight, wooded trail systems, the new TR models feature a narrower 63.8-inch width while retaining the rugged capability that has made the KRX platform popular among recreational and adventure riders.
2027 Kawasaki Teryx KRX TR
Built for 64-Inch Trails
The biggest change for the new TR models is their reduced width. Compared to the standard KRX models, which measure 68.1 inches wide, the TR versions are nearly 4.5 inches narrower, making them better suited for navigating dense forests and trail systems with 64-inch width restrictions. Despite the narrower footprint, Kawasaki engineers revised suspension arm geometry to maintain the same impressive ground clearance as the standard models.
Centrifugal Clutch
Both models retain long-travel suspension with 17 inches of front wheel travel and 18 inches in the rear, along with 31-inch Maxxis Carnivore tires mounted on 15-inch aluminum wheels. Power comes from Kawasaki’s proven 999cc parallel-twin engine paired with a CVT transmission and centrifugal clutch, delivering strong low-end torque and excellent engine braking on steep descents.
Showa 2.5-inch piggyback shocks
Comfort-Tuned Suspension
While the TR models utilize the same Showa 2.5-inch piggyback shocks found on the standard KRX lineup, Kawasaki revised the suspension calibration to better suit trail riding. Softer damping characteristics improve small-bump compliance and reduce driver fatigue during long days on wooded trails. The updated tuning also enhances ground-following capability, helping maintain traction and control in technical terrain.
2027 Kawasaki Teryx KRX TR
Refined for Tight Terrain
Kawasaki shortened both the front A-arms and rear control arms to achieve the narrower stance while maintaining the vehicle’s stable handling characteristics. Bodywork was also redesigned, including revised front body panels and slimmer rear fender flares, ensuring the TR models retain the aggressive styling that defines the KRX family. Exclusive TR badging further distinguishes these trail-focused models from the rest of the lineup.

First Take
The addition of the TR models gives Kawasaki a purpose-built option for riders who spend more time in forests and trail systems than in open desert terrain. By narrowing the chassis without sacrificing suspension travel, ground clearance, or the proven 999cc powertrain, Kawasaki has created a pair of machines that should appeal to riders in regions where 64-inch trail restrictions are common. The TR models effectively bridge the gap between full-size sport UTV capability and trail-friendly maneuverability.
