With all the hype over SXS these days……so glad to see a fresh Brute and kudos to Kawasaki for updating the machine
Couldn't agree more!
@@dirttraxtvBut why oh why no teryx 800 dammit Luke!
IMO , the best bang for your buck in the segment. Brute force all day! 💪🏼
Im pissed kawi didnt take this opportunity to finally fix soma the major issues the brute needs to propel it to the top of the heap! I waited an extra year to get one in 2022 and realzied it wasnt gonna get updated so i bought one. And now they decide to do it. Grrrrrrr.
I love the quad dont get me wrong. Its the most reliable v twin on the market i just wish kawi went all in. I woulda been willing to trade up to a new one. For those looking for one tho, dont let the numbers fool you, the 50hp is severly underated, stock it runs right along side a polaris 850 up to 60-70km(which is 75% of your trail ripping anyway). The clutching is tuned so well in these things its like they got a performance clutch from the factory. Couple that with the v force john reflash(not a silly blinky light fuel tuner) and the thing is an absolute rocket. Total wheelie monster(it is stock too), and heat issues majorly reduced. They just really needed to step up with upgraded shocks, wider stance and narrowed seat, reduced cvt noise and quicker 4wd engagement. Got the better lighting finally and the old "might as well be bald" tires are finally gone. And they look a whole lot better now.....wonder if the new plastics will bolt on mine hmmmmmm?
Had one for years and everytime i see one makes me want to go and buy one again
I had one . Loved the engine , hated the handling . Sold it and bought a Yamaha 700 Grizzly . Now I'm happy .
grizzly 700 looks like a toy to be honest
Add some elkas to the Brute force and itll ride better than the grizzly for same price.
I could have bought the 2024, but that 2023 Grey camo with green racks was so good looking too me....+ the 2000$ deal... I think its looks better. Its my first ATV so, for me that old style is still new to me :) I cant wait to have it delivered
I had a 23 fragment camo. Someone hit me on the trail and it was totaled with 100 miles on it. Awesome look I was so bummed.
Brute force are soo fun, like a sport quad with 4x4 and you don't get soaked after 30 miles, lol
@@redbrotherdaammmm :(
@@redbrother yeah !
I like it. Glad to see it back in a new look. I am a Suzuki fan but would definitely consider this atv. When looking for a new one.
We'd all like a 1k brute but the 800 from the teryx would have been a reasonable upgrade that should have made it into the new brute
It's about time the updated this. Though I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't receive some minor chassis or powertrain upgrades.
Great review right to the point. I agree with everything you said as an owner of multiple brute forces. Elka shocks work wonders. Thanks
Heck yes. Elkas would be mint on this machine.
Stage 3 and be done. It will ride like a cadillac.
Been thinking of making the switch as well, I wonder about 1inch spacers too for some more width. She is tippy
I got the eps blue one yesterday! I wont even look at another quad after riding one of these. Out the door 12500.
A step in the right direction, they finally added LED lights nearly 10 years after the teryx had them. Now they just need to update the suspension with arched a-arms and some better shocks and they would be closer to being back on top again as a competitive option. I have both a 2012 and a 2020 brute 750 and you wouldn't know which is which when parked side by side. They are pretty bulletproof and reliable quads, I just wish kawi would get competitive in the market again.
I love these 24s. Might have to upgrade
Awesome review. I've been waiting on a review for the 24 model. Wish we could have seen more about the new instrument panel.
Have a more detailed overview coming up as well which covers this. 👍
@@dirttraxtv awesome!
Glad to see the review. Can't wait to see the Brute Force 500
More atv reviews please!!!!!!!
Stay tuned!!
Got a 2024 brute in my garage, great machine👍
Nice 👍
I'm getting ready to buy one. It doesn't really make a difference but does the Bluetooth actually work? The manual says it's not activated but Kawasaki's video highlights it.
I paired it to my phone but says it needs an app when i try to connect.
@@sph6743 ok, the Jetskis do that too. TY!
I'm happy with the changes, but the crappy suspension, ground clearance, stupid diff lock lever, will make me look at something else. Power is decent, and better then the competition, but not good enough for me. I want reliability with something that is light and has big performance, another 15 or so hp and tq would definitely do it for me. If kawasaki fixed all this, I'd be in buying one today.
I owned a Brute for 10 years, I didn't mind the diff lever because I didn't have to stop and push a button I could just grab the lever on the fly and keep moving. Really enjoyed my 750, had elka shocks and ECU flash and it was pretty damn quick.
We've found guys either love or hate the diff lever. Bet your BF rode nice with those Elka shocks.
Fair and honest as usual. Maybe just a bit on the gentle side. Wider track width an increased suspension travel seemed necessary at this point. Glad luke mentioned it.
Definitely overdue for a complete overhaul.
you don't see many of these out on the trails, not because they are bad machines, quite opposite, just that some of the big players do a lot more marketing of their machines, I would definitely look at one of these, they will serve the purpose quite well!
I ride a brute, and I hang with the big dogs. These quads are no joke. If kawi finally drops a 1000, it will be awesome.
Love to see it back after Kawasaki gave us a little scare last year! Was hoping for more than "all cosmetic" tho.. Twin power and Japanese reliability is a good formula, but a few flaws were overlooked. Agree 100% about the suspension and diff lever.. Under the skin it's still dang near the 2002 Prairie 650.
It's funny, some guys love that lever. I've never been a fan though. That engine rocks but agree with you. Would've loved a suspension and chassis update.
not many remember the ole Prairie 650... that was the beast of its day. I remember them comparing it to a 400 EX in terms of acceleration which blew my mind! (still kinda does)
Still got my 2002 prairie 650 !
@@dirttraxtv is there an aftermarket electronic diff lock available for them
So... it kinda looks like they were going for a Cforce with a pod light
Why on earth don’t they at least offer one in Kawasaki green 🤷🏻♂️. It’s like not being able to buy a Honda in red
I think a super important upgrade that they missed is better cooling. Add an oil cooler and make the radiator bigger. In stock form, riding in soft sand on a hot day, the stock setup doesnt keep up. I learned that the hard way the first time I took my 2019 out for a ride. Otherwise I pretty much agree. It's not the best at anything, but it's also not the worst at anything
What is better that doesn't cost 15000?
@@redbrother literally every other ATV has a better cooling system
I can't believe the wheels are the same as the ones on the 2008 I bought. It looks better. Nice changes. But it really needs more suspension. The motor is a ripper.
I feel that better shocks could be added by all the makers. Especially on upgraded versions. While CanAm offers Fox shocks on higher end models. The rest are lacking. Suspension , I believe is a winner over “big power” as you can only go as fast as your shocks will allow. Good for Kawasaki for finally giving the Brute Force an upgrade.
That looks SO much better. All it really needed was a face lift.
Had a 2018 Brute. Was super fun to ride, but the 4x4 system was not good and difficult to get to engage and the new Grizzly-esk higher pricing takes it out of contention to me. Keep it at the same old price (got mine for $7800 plus tax, tags) for the same old tech, maybe. The ride wasn't bad, but I think Kawi could severely update this machine mechanically. While it is known to be quite reliable, the power from the motor respective of the size of the machine, and the sound is the a huge reason anyone still buys this machine. I sadly traded it in, but ended up replacing it with a 22 Grizzly, which I think overall is a much better machine.
Ya I can't stand when u forget to put it in 4wd before getting stuck, good luck getting it to engage afterward.
CV joints and suspension needs improvment for durability
Own a 2023 non-eps! Raced a 1000 canam and the guy didn't beat it! Change the tires and put leds in it and trouble free riding!
You guys really need to get over your distain for the diff lock lever. It works great and its not an issue to hold it in. Especially if you get the HighLifter kit to lock it on. I've had a Brute Force for 6 years, 8200kms and I've never had a minute of issues.
I completely agree. I've had both styles on different quad throughout the years and I find it way easier to grab the lever on the fly when you need the front locked as opposed to stopping, finding the button, engaging it for the 5 minutes you need it and then stopping and disengaging it when your done. I've never had the need to keep a front locker engaged all day. If I did, I always have zip ties in my bag. Haha
@@kyleturnbow3373so the lever can be pulled any time for front locking?
@@EC_ATV_Outdoors Yes you can pull the lever in on the fly anytime you want. It is a friction plate locker that also allows you to feather the locker if you still want a little slip while using it.
@@kyleturnbow3373 you know you can lock the diff on the fly with alot of new ATVs right... and "finding the button". Come on. Its a button, youll know where it is. The lever does work fine... but its no where near as convenient or easy to use as a button.
Interesting your fix for the difflock lever was a lever lock.... lol. A button would do the same thing. And many new ATVs have the ability to lock the diff without stopping.
I almost bought the '23 model because of all the hype about it being the last year for the 750, glad I didn't however there's a couple of dealers who are offering that '23 for a heck of a deal so now I'm not so sure. Hmmm....
still like the the grizz
Grizz is a great machine.
Really seems like not much has changed besides appearance since my 2011. They really need an update on the suspension and handling department.
They need to make a mid size atv.
Cross between a Cforce and a Sportman look to me. Not much of fan of either but I do like the new light.
i loved my old brute, but the shocks are horrible for fluffy guys, and 14 inch tires would be nice
Arent those the same tread as the old Sportsman SP? I think they had that same tire, and everybody hated it.
Hey Kawasaki, new kfx450r please!
It’s hard to justify buying a new 20 year old quad
Nothing wrong with not changing out a bulletproof powertrain. It’s the reason they sell like hot cakes. And if you think that’s bad take, you need not look any further then Toyota fans that upgrade there tundra to the new one, and how they wish they could get there last gen tundra back. I no I’m comparing a truck to a quad, but the idea of not messing with a winning combination holds true in both cases.
Sell like hotcakes. On what planet? No one is buying them.Nothing wrong with them, but they are barely still alive.@Matts000
@@rubicondickweed lol ok
I don’t care about the engine just running as it should. The geometry is 20 years old as well
I wont own another brute fuel pump problems gone to a can am outlander 1000r xt wont look back
Pissed thay didn't update anything the fan base asked for.
Still my favorite machine but im absolutely choked they didn't make a performance aimed quad like the renegade. The kawi riders have been patiently waiting for kawi to take the crown back from canam for years.
No reason they don't build the 750 to atleast stab out atleast 80hp or an 850+ to really stir up the big bore scene.
Looks like Kodiak 450 tires
Might be the same ones used on the Kodiak. Can't confirm.
Should have had a lot better suspension added to it !!
If you want to ride it get a Kawasaki or Honda. If you want to work on it get a Polaris
as a brute forve owner for yrs lets get real its the same frame n drivetrain since 2005 besides power steering n efi its not worth 12 grand when in 2005 it was half that the only thing that changes is the front plastic so they can change the headights and tack on a few grand is it reliable ya but its outdated like a honda rancher with drum brakes you get my point just becuase ya change the plastic to me isnt a upgrade its the same old dinosuar
I've said the same thing since I was a Kawasaki mechanic in 07-09. They have been the same bike with different plastics and slightly different suspension angles since the 650 and 750i came out.
As a brute fan I've been waiting for a real upgrade for a while before a buy a new one. Won't buy another brute until I see atleast a big engine upgrade or at the very least a performance based model similar to the renegade.
Pen-Lock for the front diff is a must. But it's nice to have the control over how much lock you give the front diff. I personally think it's the best front locker made!
Why would you want variable control, though? If I’m in a situation where I need to use differential lock, I want all of it.
@@Icutmetal 95% a person doesn't need full lock up. Turns great, can be locked up. Best of both worlds IMO
@@NITROUSnBIASPLYS ok 👌
I Love Jonna Napire 💜💚❤️ JUNE 2, 2024
I hate people. Making it wider and improving suspension are both negative. For tighter trail the brute force is the top tier atv on the market most of the wood i go through a can am or polaris will get stuck between tree. And suspension as much as Elka or Fox will make the ride better. The oem suspension will last 25y without any maintenance while we can't says the same for elka or fox.
Sorry but I’m taking King Quad 750 over this and a Grizzly. The KQ is SO underrated it’s ridiculous.
Yet here you are.
@@Icutmetalyet here I am. On a public platform watching a public video and stating my opinion. Here you are giving a F too. Thank you! 😘
For some reason, I thought I was looking at a 2016 Kymco MXU500 until I saw the title for the video.
Booo Kawasaki. Put some effort into a NEW model. This is just a facelift and there are much better options at that price point.
At that price point? What’s a better option? I paid 11,200 out the door on 14” wheels with Zillas tires with a 3500 warn winch on my 2021 Brute. It is hands down the bargain of its segment, and imo the complete package.
They cut corners this year, but I beat a 1000 model is in the works. Probably won't be called a brute though.
Adding more standard equipment and features for the sake of "making something new" isn't a good thing. The Japanese are doing it right. Making incredibly reliable machines and setting the standard for a "good" machine. I had a 2017 Sportsman 570 new and I thought it was great. I now have a 2008 Grizzly 700 SE and the old Grizzly is leaps and bounds better in every single way than the newer Polaris.
Same ride quality, but if they are doing a new facelift after eons, the racks and quick attach are great, but stealth snorkeling (just for peace of mind) and bigger tires for clearance would have been obvious wins for me.
Here in NS, clearance and water protection are high in my lists as rocks and flooded paths happen often. And going around isn't always feasible.
Some people actually “want” the same powertrain, we want reliability, go buy the junk Polaris if you want a new motor and design every 5 min
Sold my 21 Grizzly for a new 2024 Outlander 700 XMr mainly because it looks awesome and the handling and performance of the new 650cc single is amazing!
Brute force has looked the same for what 15+ years
Grizzly is better
At nothing. They are slower and less powerful and need tons of mods to keep up with these things. The only thing brute force needs is better shocks
Sadly, the Grizzly is still better all-around.
Nah, Kawasaki and reliability do not mix
First
What an honor that’s got to be.
Kawasaki is the least reliable of the Japanese brands
I disagree with your comments! I found that the 750 king quad and the 750i brute force are bullet proof
It’s literally the same exact atv all they did was change the plastics. Everyone in my brute force group hates it
