2026 Suzuki KingQuad 500 AXi

Engine FeaturesThe powerful, 493cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine is tuned to produce a wide powerband with strong top-end power. The compact four-valve cylinder head has large intake valves and straight intake ports for superb cylinder charging efficiency. Screw and nut valve lash adjusters simplify maintenance. Advanced Suzuki Fuel Injection improves throttle response and fuel efficiency while delivering power consistently across the full rev-range and improves engine starting in all conditions. The KingQuad achieves US emissions compliance, including California models that conform to the state’s stringent evaporative emissions standard and are eligible for California off-highway vehicle (OHV) registration.

Transmission FeaturesThe Quadmatic™ CVT-type automatic transmission provides versatility and convenience with a fender-mounted gate-type shifter for high/low range selection. Its advanced engine-braking system minimizes free-wheeling with the throttle off to help reduce speed when riding downhill. A compact torque-sensing limited-slip front differential offers potent traction plus light steering. A differential-lock system provides serious 4WD traction. Handlebar-mounted push-button controls permit easy selection between 2WD, 4WD, and differential-lock 4WD. An override button on the left handlebar can be used to override the normal speed limiter when getting out of mud.

Chassis FeaturesIndependent double A-arm front suspension (6.7 inches of wheel travel) and the fully independent, A-arm/I-beam rear suspension (7.7 inches of wheel travel) use four large diameter, gas-charged shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustment. To increase rider comfort, make the ATV easier to ride, and increase towing capacity, the KingQuad’s frame has thick-wall tubes and reinforced brackets in key areas. The sealed, multi-plate rear brake system’s foot brake lever ratio helps provide consistent performance. The rear brake’s clutch-type design is highly durable, has reduced unsprung weight, and minimal maintenance requirements. High traction 25-inch Carlisle® tires are mounted on strong steel wheels with a durable, powder-coated matte black finish.

Electrical FeaturesThe multi-function instrument panel has excellent appearance and visibility and provides service reminders based on running time or mileage. The instrumentation includes LCD readouts for the speedometer, odometer, twin trip meter, hour meter, clock, fuel level, driving range, and drive mode. There are LED indicators for high, low, neutral, reverse, 2WD/4WD, and differential-locked 4WD and LED cautions for fuel injection and engine temperature. The 35-watt handlebar-mounted headlight illuminates the trail in the direction you are steering the ATV. Dual 35-watt headlights (with high- and low-beam settings) are part of the KingQuad’s distinctive bodywork. High-output, three-phase charging system feeds an 18-amp maintenance-free battery for abundant power for easy starting and accessory use. A sealed 12V accessory outlet is standard. The standard winch-ready mounts and wire conduit make winch installation simple.

Body & Styling FeaturesAvailable in Flame Red or Terra Green, the bold, angular bodywork features high-clearance fenders that offer great protection for the rider. Refined panels simplify maintenance needs, such as oil level checks and fuel and air filter service. Polyethylene skid plates provide protection with minimal resistance over rocks and rough terrain. Durable plastic guards protect the front and rear half shafts. The rugged front and rear steel-tube cargo racks have wrinkle paint finish for durability and scratch resistance. The standard receiver-type trailer hitch mount makes it easy to select the type of equipment you want to move with the KingQuad’s generous towing capacity (up to 1322 pounds). Suzuki offers an accessory ball mount, hitch pin, and R-clip making it easy to setup your KingQuad for towing (a trailer ball or hook is not included).
