Taking Engine & Chassis Performance to the Next Level

The MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE improves on the acclaimed engine and chassis performance of the MULE PRO Series models with a new, larger-displacement Kawasaki-built engine and a sturdy chassis augmented with longer-travel suspension, and increased ground clearance.

Kawasaki-Built 999 cc Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke Parallel Twin Engine

The compact litre-class engine delivers both high power and high torque, as well as an increased top speed. The mild character, complemented by a CVT (continuously variable transmission), offers driver-friendly throttle response and delivers smooth acceleration and deceleration.

Substantial Cargo Bed and Towing Capacity

Like the models in the MULE PRO Series, the MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE offers a 453 kg cargo bed capacity, and a 907 kg towing capacity.

Increased Ground Clearance

Ground clearance 310 mm or greater reduces the chances of the MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE scraping its bottom, which translates to greater accessibility and increased ride comfort.

Tough, High-End Styling

The MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE features a front end based on that of the MULE PRO-FXR, including quad headlights. The serious looks reflect the new model’s ability to perform at work sites and in moderate recreation environments, while a silver Kawasaki emblem and coloured parts add a high-end, premium image.

Quad Headlights

Compact 35 W outer headlights are complemented by LED inner headlights (16.0 W / 9.4 W). The quadruple headlamps cut a bright path.
The grille cover and the panelling around the headlights is colour-matched to the body, creating a high-end image.

Clean, Automotive-Style Dashboard

Clean dashboard design includes switches for the headlights, selectable 4WD and rear differential lock. Five spaces for additional accessory switches have been prepared.

Black cast aluminium wheels

On the MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE, black cast aluminium wheels add a high-quality touch.

Steel bumpers front & rear

Black steel front and rear bumpers provide vehicle protection while adding to the tough, high-end image.

Prime examples of Kawasaki’s tough, reliable and durable build philosophy

Kawasaki MULE side x sides are famous for their strength and durability, and the new MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE is no exception. Like other MULE side x sides in Kawasaki’s line-up, these new flagship series models were built to last in a variety of conditions and are backed by a three-year Kawasaki STRONG limited warranty.

Efficient Air Cleaner Design Adds to Strong Build

In addition to its tough engine and rugged frame construction, numerous features (like considerations to prevent the ingress of water and mud, efficient air cleaner design with snorkel intake, etc) add to the MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE’s strong build.

Frame Stiffness Balanced for Great Handling

The frame offers a good balance between lateral and torsional stiffness. This delivers high durability while allowing just the right amount of chassis flex to be able to handle the shocks of off-highway riding, ensuring a high level of ride comfort.

Class-Leading Comfort Augmented by Numerous Convenience Features

Class-leading comfort has been a hallmark of Kawasaki’s hard-working side x sides. The MULE PRO-FXR 1000 LE delivers on that front, with the new, longer-travel suspension further contributing to ride comfort offered by the composed chassis and roomy interior. Creature comforts like EPS, tilt-steering, handy storage spaces and numerous cup holders are complemented by improved maintenance-related elements.

Double-Wishbone Suspension with Longer Travel

Double-wishbone suspension is used both front and rear to enable each of the wheels to drive over obstacles with minimum effect on the chassis. Longer wheel travel (F: 279 mm; R: 256 mm) contributes to the increased ground clearance as well as ride comfort.

Comfortable Seating for Three

A wide-body chassis enables a roomy interior space that offers the shoulder and legroom for three adults to comfortably sit side-by-side.

EPS & Tilt Steering

Kawasaki’s high-grade electric power steering (EPS) system is speed sensitive, offering light steering effort at low speed, while reducing assistance as vehicle speed increases to ensure responsive steering. 
Drivers can set the position of the tilt-adjustable steering wheel to suit their preference, as well as lift it out of the way to facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle.

Routine Chores Simplified

Easy access to oil filter (and oil dipstick) and air-cleaner filter greatly facilitates maintenance chores. Further, the improved dust resistance of the new intake duct system results in longer maintenance intervals.
