The supporting front and rear racks offer 100/200 lbs. Capacity to complement the 1,050-lb towing capability. Lugging all your favorite equipment has never been so easy or safe.

Both models are powered by the reliable, liquid-cooled 695cc engine designed and built by Textron Motors. This performance runs through the Duramatic automatic transmission with park, high, low, neutral and backward. Plus there is mechanical 4WD for maximum traction when it is needed. Its class leading power and fuel consumption are supported by its closed-loop EFI system.

The VLX 700 EPS adds to the driving ease of the electronic power steering.

The result is the light steering operation, especially in the 4WD, but with sufficient feedback that the driver feels the tyre contact with the terrain.
