A Rugged Reign: The 2023 Suzuki KingQuad 400FSi Camo
Suzuki sets the bar high for all-terrain vehicles once again with its marquee 2023 KingQuad 400FSi Camo. Its utilitarian design roots coupled with a strikingly rugged True Timber Kanati Camouflage paint job assures us that this beast is meant to rule off-road terrains while effortlessly blending in with the natural environment.
Underpinning this camouflage exterior is an impressively robust 376cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine with Suzuki's electronic fuel injection. With 9.0:1 compression ratio and an SCT, OHC single cylinder configuration, this engine is primed for delivering consistent power and mind-rattling torque.
The ATV's transmission is a formidable 5-speed forward constant mesh, paired with a nifty high/low range and reverse feature which provides the rider with superior control and flexibility in treacherous terrains. Plus, the Dry shoe, automatic, centrifugal type clutch and the provision to switch between 2wd and 4wd via a handlebar-mounted lever add extra layers of convenience and versatility.
Its chassis boasts of robust independent, double wishbone, coil spring, oil-damped front suspension, and a Swingarm type coil spring, oil-damped rear suspension, ensuring an exceptionally stable and comfortable ride. The disc brakes in front, coupled with the single drum brake at the rear, offers a superior braking performance even in the harshest of conditions.
Fuel efficiency is yet another key ingredient in Suzuki's formula for this ATV. With a fuel tank capacity of 16.0 L, it is meant to travel long distances in off-road terrains without frequent refueling stops. Additionally, plush seating ensures a comfortable ride for the user, no matter the distance traveled or the terrain covered.
The true test of an ATV lies in its ability to carry weight. Here again, the KingQuad 400FSi excels. Sporting full racks and weighing a solid 279 kg, the vehicle can reliably ferry heavy payloads across uneven landscapes.
In terms of dimensions, the design language ensures a low center of gravity balancing width, height, and ground clearance well for easier maneuverability in tight paths.
With an MSRP of $7,249, the 2023 Suzuki KingQuad 400FSi Camo undoubtedly offers value for money, given its feature-rich package and robust styling. This, coupled with Suzuki's proven pedigree in producing world-class all-terrain vehicles, makes the KingQuad 400FSi a wise choice for the adventurous spirit yearning for a reliable and performance oriented ATV.
