2018 Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering Special Edition
NOTHING'S BUILT LIKES A KINGQUAD
In 1983, Suzuki introduced the world's first 4-wheel ATV. Today, Suzuki ATVs are everywhere. From the most remote areas to the most everyday tasks, you'll find the KingQuad powering a rider onward. Across the board, our KingQuad lineup is an exceptional group of ATVs.
The 2018 Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering boasts the same advanced technology as the extraordinary KingQuad 750AXi. It’s engineered to help you tackle tough trails and tougher jobs. Its innovative, electronic power steering system reduces turning effort and damps vibration to the rider. The 500AXi Power Steering power plant features a precise Suzuki fuel injection system and twin iridium spark plugs ensure easy starting, excellent throttle response, great fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. The advanced chassis lets you float over rough obstacles with ease while still being able to haul or tow what you need to get the job done. For 2018, the KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering is available in a Special Edition finish of Solid Matte Sword Black.
