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

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 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, and a front stabilizer bar* helps keep body roll in check at medium to high speeds.

RIDGE® CREW is ready for action when you’ve got mountains to move. A rugged 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.

Complementing sporty and tough styling, the sleek exterior includes painted fenders and all-LED lighting. Up front, line-type LED position lamps, LED accent lights*, 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.

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, 2 USB ports inside the lidded storage above the glove box, and another DC socket in the rear. In RIDGE® CREW Platinum Ranch Edition HVAC, the rear DC socket is complemented by 2 more USB ports.

RIDGE® CREW 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.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers exceptionally smooth power, especially from a standstill up to about 20 mph. Revised engine calibration keeps belt engagement consistent for smoother action, exceptional acceleration, quieter engine operation, and enhanced ride comfort. 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 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.

On-the-fly electrically selectable 4WD front and rear differential lock* allows you to quickly and easily switch drive modes to match terrain conditions. Engaging the rear differential lock makes the rear wheels turn as a single axle, helping prevent one wheel from free-spinning in low-traction situations or when a wheel is suspended—delivering maximum traction in mud or snow.

- 2WD offers light steering.
- 4WD delivers enhanced traction while minimizing ground disturbance.
- For maximum traction, select 4WD and differential locks.

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.

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 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® CREW wirelessly, and with RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS^†, riders get vehicle information directly from the instrument panel.

In RIDGE® CREW Platinum Ranch Edition HVAC, an 8-in Garmin Tread® off-road navigation system comes standard. It also features group ride radio and a 4-speaker audio system. The navigation system is built into the center console, giving the dash a sleek and seamless appearance.

Standard on RIDGE® CREW Platinum Ranch Edition HVAC and available as an accessory on all other RIDGE® CREW models, 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.
