Face the rugged outdoors with complete confidence. Reinforced with an outstanding 3-year limited factory warranty, Kawasaki RIDGE^® CREW is the side x side you call on to get it done—and get it done right.

Premium RIDGE^® CREW side x sides are assembled in the USA with foreign and domestic parts.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers exceptionally smooth power, especially from a standstill up to about 20 mph. Engagement and release feel natural and seamless, maintaining a positive feel until you’re nearly stopped for reassuring engine braking on downhills—while also helping maintain quieter operation at high RPM.

RIDGE^® CREW uses double-wishbone suspension front and rear to help each wheel track over obstacles and keep the chassis composed. With 12.7 inches of wheel travel at both ends, you get more ground clearance and a smoother, more confident ride. Shocks with variable spring rates boost stability when you’re hauling gear and supplies.

The roomy RIDGE^® CREW cabin comfortably seats 6 with front and rear 3-person bench seating and 3-point seatbelts. Contoured seating on the outer 4 seats adds support for cruising and sport riding, while rear passengers enjoy comforts like extra cupholders (6 total), 2 storage nets, and wide-opening rear doors for easy entry and exit. An open interior layout also leaves space between the dashboard and seats, making it possible to walk through the cabin.

RIDGE^® CREW HVAC full cabs include:

• Powerful HVAC system
• Glass windshield treated to reduce ultraviolet and infrared rays to help keep cabin interior cooler
• Insulated roof to maintain interior cab temperature
• Full doors with power windows
• Glass rear panel
• Windshield wiper and washer
• Rearview mirror
• Interior dome light

Seal performance is excellent. The quality of the enclosed cab makes the HVAC system highly efficient, offering stellar climate control. Whether you're on dusty trails, in muddy creeks, or in the snow, enjoy premium off-roading when you're shielded from the elements.

All RIDGE^® CREW HVAC side x sides include multiple vents with mode selection (defrost, defrost + floor, floor, dash + floor, dash), adjustable fan strength, a choice of fresh or recirculated air, and a powerful HVAC system for fast heating, cooling, and defrosting.

RIDGE^® CREW uses a ladder-type frame with optimized rigidity to create balanced flex for strength and performance. High approach and departure angles aid in clearing more challenging terrain. Large 27-inch tires on 14-inch aluminum wheels boost off-road capability.

RIDGE^® CREW is ready for action when you’ve got mountains to move. A rugged, tilting cargo bed (approx. 35 in. x 49 in. x 13 in.) hauls up to 1,000 pounds, and the flat design enables loading from three sides. Add a 2,500-pound towing capacity and a standard 2-inch hitch receiver, and you’re ready for everything from workday to weekend.

Storage space abounds. Multiple covered compartments and a center console in the dashboard provide space for small items and easy-access storage. More storage space is available beneath passenger seats.

Keep 30-oz drinks secure with 6 cupholders—2 on each side of the dashboard, plus 2 more when you fold down the front and rear center consoles.

Charge on the go with a DC socket in the dashboard and 2 USB ports inside the lidded storage above the glove box, and another DC socket in the rear.

With 4 cylinders, RIDGE^® CREW packs more muscle, more torque, and a smoother ride quality than that of other side x sides. Tuned to deliver an impressive 92 horsepower¹ and 65.8 lb-ft (89 Nm) of torque*, the high-performance in-line 4-cylinder engine delivers controllable and smooth power instantly and keeps cabin vibration to a minimum. The engine is fully rubber-mounted to further tune out vibration.

RIDGE^® features 3 unique power modes, letting you tailor power delivery to your driving style and current conditions.

- Work mode engages a milder throttle response for enhanced low-speed control, ideal for towing and hauling.

- Sport mode offers a sharper, more linear response for a more direct feel between the gas pedal and engine.

- Normal mode strikes a balance between Work and Sport mode, with smooth, predictable response as you roll into the throttle.

RIDGE^® CREW features snorkel-style intake routing for the engine and CVT under the hood to minimize dust and water ingestion. A high-quality Donaldson air filter exhibits excellent dust-collection to help keep debris out of the engine. Out back, rear-facing exhaust ports direct heat away from the cabin, while a dual-wall heat shield adds another layer of thermal protection.

Complementing sporty and tough styling, the sleek exterior includes painted fenders and all-LED lighting. Up front, line-type LED position lamps, a bold aluminum Kawasaki emblem in the grille, and a durable steel front bumper give it a fierce, unmistakable look. Roof and doors are standard on all RIDGE® CREW models, giving you the protection from the elements that you’d expect from a premium side x side. Doors include both exterior and interior handles, and on full-cab models, electric power windows.

Premium details in the fit and finish—like an automotive-style ignition key, ambient floor lighting, and backlit switches—elevate the interior with an automotive-inspired feel. Improved cabin sound damping makes for a quieter, more refined ride, and a high-grade, D-shape tilting steering wheel is reminiscent of a luxury vehicle feature.

Cabin comforts begin with ample shoulder space and plenty of legroom for everyone. A lower seat height and optimized driver ergonomics put the pedals and controls within easy reach and make it easier to get in and out, while the lever-adjustable driver’s seat (2.5-inch range) and tilt steering let you fine-tune your position for confident control. Climb in and experience a ride quality on par with your daily driver with comfortable, ergonomic seating and an intuitive layout.

RIDGE^® CREW side x sides boast a high-grade, 7-in, full-color TFT LCD screen featuring multiple selectable display modes and vehicle information, putting key vehicle information right where you need it. In addition to riding logs, community features, maintenance, and display notifications, Kawasaki’s Powersports-exclusive RIDEOLOGY app offers several functional and entertainment features designed to enhance group rides.

Built-in smartphone connectivity enables riders to connect to RIDGE® wirelessly, and with RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS^†, riders get vehicle information directly from the instrument panel.

Available as an accessory on RIDGE^® ST CREW model, front and rearview cameras simplify maneuvers. With the rearview camera equipped, shifting into Reverse automatically switches the 7-in screen to show the view behind you.
