PERFORMANCE UTILITY
FOR TOUGH JOBS

Premium RIDGE® CREW side x sides are assembled in the USA with foreign and domestic parts.

RIDGE® CREW uses double-wishbone suspension front and rear to help each wheel track over obstacles and keep the chassis composed. With 12.7 inches of wheel travel at both ends, you get more ground clearance and a smoother, more confident ride. Shocks with variable spring rates boost stability when you’re hauling gear and supplies, and a front stabilizer bar* helps keep body roll in check at medium to high speeds.

The roomy RIDGE® CREW cabin comfortably seats up to 6* with front and rear 3-person bench seating and 3-point seatbelts. Contoured seating on the outer 4 seats adds support for cruising and sport riding, while rear passengers enjoy comforts like extra cupholders (6 total), 2 storage nets, and wide-opening rear doors to facilitate entry and exit. An open interior layout also leaves space between the dashboard and seats, making it possible to walk through the cabin.

RIDGE® CREW HVAC full cabs include:

• Powerful HVAC system
• Glass flip-up windshield treated to reduce ultraviolet and infrared rays to help
keep cabin interior cooler*
• Insulated roof to maintain interior cab temperature
• Full doors with power windows
• Glass rear panel
• Windshield wiper and washer
• Rearview mirror
• Interior dome light

Seal performance is excellent. The quality of the enclosed cab makes the HVAC system highly efficient, offering stellar climate control. Whether you're on dusty trails, in muddy creeks, or in the snow, enjoy premium off-roading when you're shielded from the elements.

All RIDGE® CREW HVAC side x sides include multiple vents with mode selection (defrost, defrost + floor, floor, dash + floor, dash), adjustable fan strength, a choice of fresh or recirculated air, and a powerful HVAC system for fast heating, cooling, and defrosting.

All RIDGE® CREW HVAC side x sides feature a flip-up windshield* with three selectable positions (closed, vented, and fully open). The use of UV- and IR-cut glass helps to reduce heat and direct sun, while the flip-up windshield’s fully open position can also be used as ventilation in place of the HVAC’s air-conditioning while the vehicle is stationary. In the vented position, vehicle operation is possible at speeds up to 50 mph. The windshield wiper assembly is also integrated and moves with the windshield in all open/close positions.

RIDGE® CREW is ready for action when you’ve got mountains to move. A rugged cargo bed (approx. 35-in x 49-in x 13-in) hauls up to 1,000 pounds, and the flat design enables loading from three sides. The RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC is equipped with a new functionally styled cargo bed that is approximately 35-in x 42-in x 12-in whereas the RIDGE® CREW LIFTED EDITION measures approximately 28-in x 42-in x 12-in, both with built-in lidded storage compartments. Add a 2,500-pound towing capacity and a standard 2-inch hitch receiver, and you’re ready for everything from workday to weekend. All RIDGE CREW models (except for standard RIDGE CREW and RIDGE® CREW ST HVAC) are also equipped with a 4,500-lb winch with a 50-ft synthetic rope.

Storage space abounds. Multiple covered compartments and a center console in the dashboard provide space for small items and easy-access storage. More storage space is available beneath passenger seats.

Keep 30-oz drinks secure with 6 cupholders—2 on each side of the dashboard, plus 2 more when you fold down the front and rear center consoles.

Charge on the go with a DC socket in the dashboard, 2 USB ports inside the lidded storage above the glove box, and another DC socket in the rear.

RIDGE® CREW features 3 unique power modes, letting you tailor power delivery to your driving style and current conditions.

- Work mode engages a milder throttle response for enhanced low-speed control, ideal for towing and hauling.

- Sport mode offers a sharper, more linear response for a more direct feel between the gas pedal and engine.
 
- Normal mode strikes a balance between Work and Sport mode, with smooth, predictable response as you roll into the throttle.

RIDGE® CREW features snorkel-style intake routing for the engine and CVT under the hood to minimize dust and water ingestion. A high-quality Donaldson air filter exhibits excellent dust-collection to help keep debris out of the engine. Out back, rear-facing exhaust ports direct heat away from the cabin, while a dual-wall heat shield adds another layer of thermal protection.

On-the-fly electrically selectable 4WD front and rear differential lock* allows you to quickly and easily switch drive modes to match terrain conditions. Engaging the rear differential lock makes the rear wheels turn as a single axle, helping prevent one wheel from free-spinning in low-traction situations or when a wheel is suspended—delivering maximum traction in mud or snow.

- 2WD offers light steering.
- 4WD delivers enhanced traction while minimizing ground disturbance.
- For maximum traction, select 4WD and differential locks.

Premium details in the fit and finish—like an automotive-style ignition key, ambient floor lighting, and backlit switches—elevate the interior with an automotive-inspired feel. Improved cabin sound damping makes for a quieter, more refined ride, and a high-grade, D-shape tilting steering wheel is reminiscent of a luxury vehicle feature.

Cabin comforts begin with ample shoulder space and plenty of legroom for everyone. A lower seat height and optimized driver ergonomics put the pedals and controls within easy reach and make it easier to get in and out, while the lever-adjustable driver’s seat (2.5-inch range) and tilt steering let you fine-tune your position for confident control. Climb in and experience a ride quality on par with your daily driver with comfortable, ergonomic seating and an intuitive layout.

RIDGE® CREW side x sides boast a new high-grade, 8-in, full-color TFT LCD screen* featuring multiple selectable display modes and vehicle information, putting key vehicle information right where you need it. In addition to riding logs, community features, maintenance, external air temperature gauge**, and display notifications, Kawasaki’s Powersports-exclusive RIDEOLOGY app offers several functional and entertainment features designed to enhance group rides.

Built-in smartphone connectivity enables riders to connect to RIDGE® CREW wirelessly, and with RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS^†, riders get vehicle information directly from the instrument panel.

In both the RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM RANCH HVAC and RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC side x sides, an 8-in Garmin Tread® 2 with AM/FM radio and wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard. It also features group ride radio and a 4-speaker audio system. The navigation system is built into the center console, giving the dash a sleek and seamless appearance.

Also standard on both RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM RANCH HVAC and RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC side x sides and available as an accessory on all other RIDGE® CREW models, are front and rearview cameras. With the rearview camera equipped, shifting into Reverse automatically switches the 8-in screen to show the view behind you.

The new RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM SPORT HVAC side x side is designed to work hard without compromise. Purpose-built to handle weekday jobs, this model comes standard with 30-in Maxxis® Carnivore tires and bronze 14-in aluminum wheels, a front brush guard, front bucket seats, 8-in Garmin Tread® 2, and a CVT transmission tuned for higher speed stretches through the backcountry. It is also equipped with arched A-arms and front and rear stabilizer bars paired with KYB shocks with piggyback reservoirs to deliver consistent damping performance.

The updated RIDGE® CREW PLATINUM RANCH HVAC side x side adds next-level comfort to your tough jobs. Purpose-built to help you get more done, this model comes standard with a 4,500-lb winch, 8-in Garmin Tread® 2, and built-in front/review cameras, so you can take on more in comfort.
