2026 Kawasaki RIDGE HVAC Metallic Bluish Gray

OVERVIEW
Kawasaki RIDGE® side x sides raise the standard for those who demand versatile, all-season confidence, and superior build quality. Power comes from a groundbreaking 999cc Kawasaki-built in-line 4-cylinder engine, delivering performance you can count on—on the job and beyond.

Economical Riding Indicator
Using high-precision electronic control for engine management, Kawasaki models can achieve a high level of fuel efficiency. However, fuel consumption is greatly affected by throttle use, gear selection, and other elements under the rider's control. The Economical Riding Indicator is a function that indicates when current riding conditions are consuming a low amount of fuel. The system continuously monitors fuel consumption, regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position and other riding conditions. When fuel consumption is low for a given speed (i.e. fuel efficiency is high), an "ECO" mark appears on the instrument panel's LCD screen. By riding so that the "ECO" mark remains on, fuel consumption can be reduced.
While effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by model, paying attention to conditions that cause the "ECO" mark to appear can help riders improve their fuel efficiency – a handy way to increase cruising range. Further, keeping fuel consumption low also helps minimize negative impact on the environment.

Electronic Throttle Valves
Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel (via fuel injectors) and the air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position results in smooth, natural engine response and the ideal engine output. The system also makes a significant contribution to reduced emissions.
Electronic throttle valves also enable more precise control of electronic engine management systems like S-KTRC and KTRC, and allow the implementation of electronic systems like KLCM, Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, and Electronic Cruise Control.

Power Modes
Models equipped with multiple Power Modes offer riders an easily selectable choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preference. In addition to Full Power mode, one (Low) or two (Middle, Low) alternate mode(s) in which maximum power is limited and throttle response is milder are provided.

RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS
RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS allows off-road 4-wheeler and personal watercraft users to connect with their machines and with each other for a new and fun kind of interaction. The smartphone app offers features tailored to off-road 4-wheelers and personal watercraft, with a user interface designed to be straightforward and easy to use. Vehicle Information and Trip Logs can be managed through the app. Before the ride, users can use the app to check vehicle information to make sure the vehicle is ready to go. During the ride they can see where group members are on the map via the new Group Ride feature. Once the ride is done, users can relive their excursions via Trip Logs, share them with friends, and find new friends who share their interests and/or frequent the same places, making riding more fun than ever before. With RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS, users can expand their horizons, reach out and connect with friends existing and new, and through new features aimed at having fun, they can enjoy their powersports lifestyle on an even wider scale. While RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS needs to be ON (running in the background) to be connected to the vehicle, it was not intended to be operated while on board. User interaction with the app should be limited to when the vehicle is not being operated and it is safe to do so.

Smartphone Connectivity
Clever technology enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. Vehicle information (such as the odometer, fuel gauge, maintenance schedule, etc) can be viewed on the smartphone. Riding logs (varies by model, but may include GPS route, gear position, rpm, and other information) can be viewed on the smartphone. When connected, telephone (call, mail) notices are displayed on the instrument panel. Riders can also make changes to their motorcycle’s instrument display settings (preferred units, clock and date setting, etc) via the smartphone. And on certain models, it is even possible to check and adjust vehicle settings (such as Rider Mode, electronic rider support features, and payload settings) using the smartphone.
