Canadian model may not be exactly as shown. OVERVIEW MODEL CONCEPT As the market for utility vehicles continues to expand and evolve, customers are using MULE’s for an ever-growing variety of applications ranging from pure utility to leisure. The MULE 610 4x4 perfectly suits market needs for a lightweight, compact utility vehicle capable of filling a variety of roles. The design concept for the MULE 610 4x4 is simple and to the point: compact, comfortable, and classy. To achieve these goals, Kawasaki took some of the best technology from Kawasaki MULE’s and ATV’s, and then wrapped their creations in curvaceous “high-volume” bodywork. The 401cc engine provides plenty of power allowing the new MULE 610 4x4 to run alongside the MULE 4000 series models with the same governed top speed of 40 km/h (25 mph). To enhance the MULE 610 4x4’s off-road capability, the rugged steel-tube chassis comes equipped with MacPherson strut front suspension like that on the MULE 4000 series models, front limited slip differential, rear differential lock, and numerous skid-plates. Selectable 2WD/4WD and 24” tires let the MULE 610 4x4 go where others fear to tread. In terms of design, the 610 4x4 is just as impressive, thanks to “high-volume” styling which gives it a more elegant, more voluminous appearance and feel. One look will tell customers that this stylish machine can perform many other roles in addition to that of utility workhorse. For work, play, and everything in between, the MULE 610 4x4 offers more value and performance for the money than any other machine in the category. 2 0 1 2 M Y M U L E 6 1 0 4 x 4 M O D E L I N F O R M AT I O N 2 OVERVIEW The MULE 610 4x4 key sales features can be summarized as follows Tough & Classy Styling * Stylish bodywork and front grill design give the machine curvaceous lines similar to top-of-the-line pickup trucks, while an elegant automotive-style instrument/control panel looks great and is easy to understand and operate.
