2026 Kawasaki Ridge®

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.

Features may include:

• STRONG. DURABLE. RELIABLE.

Assembled in the USA with foreign and domestic parts and backed by a 3-year limited factory warranty, RIDGE® side x sides are built strong, reliable, and durable. Developed for peak premium performance, dependable craftsmanship shines in every detail.

• MAKE YOUR OWN CLIMATE

Models with a factory-equipped full cab come complete with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), creating a comfortable escape from the heat in summer, the cold in winter, and everything in between.

• OUTWORK. OUTPERFORM.

Built to conquer the day, RIDGE® side x sides blend hard-working utility with refined performance. Heavy-duty towing and hauling capacity, an off-road-tuned chassis and suspension, and a tough exterior deliver serious capability—supported by a cabin full of useful comforts.
