So in the Kawasaki marketing stuff, they say:

"The Teryx 750 4x4 shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing wheel camber change. Featuring adjustable Kayaba suspension with gas-charged shocks, the sport-performance focused suspension of the Teryx 750 4x4 is designed to remain controlled even at top speed.

The wide-track frame is based on the same long A-arm concept found on Kawasaki’s sport ATV models, where the frame is made as narrow as possible so that long A-arms can be used. This configuration minimizes camber change as the long travel suspension tracks over rugged terrain for better performance."

That sounds pretty good, so I decided to check it out and compare with a Rhino. Here is what I found:

Teryx A-Arm frame mounting point - center to center:
Front upper A-Arm mount points are 16 3/4" apart
Front lower A-Arm mount points are 14 1/2" apart
Rear upper A-Arm mount points are 15 1/2" apart
Rear bottom A-Arm mount points are 15" apart

In comparison, a Yamaha Rhino has the following measurements:
Front upper A-Arm mount points are 17 1/4" apart
Front lower A-Arm mount points are 17 1/2" apart
Rear upper A-Arm mount points are 16 1/2" apart
Rear bottom A-Arm mount points are 15" apart


This is what I measured. Image is the rear/upper on the Teryx @ 15 1/2"

This is what Kawasaki is talking about on their KFX450R:



See how the frame on the bottom is real narrow.

Since the arms are longer than a Rhino's, I wonder
why the wheel travel is about the same???

As long as the tie rods and upper and lower control arm mounts are in an even plain so bump steer can be kept at a minimum.

Measured Teryx vs. Rhino arms. A bit difficult to measure exactly on the Teryx because my arms are still on the vehicle, so add a fudge factor there. Here is how I measured. Tried to take the line between the mounting bolts to the center of the spindle.

Nice, much longer!

But it still has the same wheel travel as a Rhino, you would think it should have more maybe 9.25" or so.

Rog

Kaw said that there teryx has a little more travel then the rhino.

Yes it is 7.5 versus 7.3, ok it is more. but with that much longer arm length you would think maybe 8.5-9.5".

Check out what I posted regarding travel on rear. Your right on the money.
