POWER STEERING
Brute Force® 450 4x4 EPS ATVs feature Electric Power Steering (EPS) for exceptional handling, capability, and increased ride comfort on rugged terrain. Steering assistance is greatest at slow speeds or when stopped, and as the vehicle speed increases, assistance is reduced. The result is lightweight steering at all speeds. EPS also acts as a damping system for less kickback to the handlebars and a more comfortable ride.

LOAD UP WITH CONFIDENCE
Brute Force® 450 4x4 ATVs feature steel carriers designed compatibly with KQR™ mounts. The convenient carriers hold up to 75 lbs up front and 150 lbs at the rear, ideal for working, camping, and more.
Brute Force® 450 4x4 EPS ATVs feature KQR™ system-compatible front and rear steel cargo carriers and rugged plastic carrier covers, featuring a flat top surface, to accommodate a wide variety of cargo. At the rear, the carrier cover includes anti-slip grooves to help keep loaded 5-gal buckets in place. The rugged carrier covers also include slots that accommodate optional KQR mounts. The steel racks beneath the plastic coverings remain exposed in certain areas to serve as easy hook- or tie-down points.
