The 2027 Kawasaki ATV lineup centres on the Brute Force 750, available in three trim levels: the base model, the EPS, and the fully equipped SE EPS. Rounding out the family are the mid-size Brute Force 300 and the youth-focused KSF50. At Kerr's Chain Saw in Bathurst, the 750 series starts at $12,399 before freight, PDI, and taxes.

Whether you are hauling firewood out of a woodlot in Petit-Rocher, heading up to a hunting camp near Beresford, or hitting the trails across the Acadian Peninsula, this guide breaks down how each machine performs and what you can expect to pay out the door.

What’s New on the 2027 Brute Force 750?

The most noticeable upgrade for 2027 sits directly between the handlebars. Kawasaki replaced the previous instrument cluster with a full-colour TFT display featuring smartphone connectivity via the Rideology app.

Visibility also gets a major boost with an all-LED lighting package. In addition to the main headlights, Kawasaki integrated a pod-mounted LED headlight directly into the handlebar cowl. Because it turns wherever you steer, navigating narrow camp roads or hooking up a trailer before dawn is significantly easier.

Underneath the updated plastics, all three 750 trims share the identical 749cc fuel-injected V-twin engine, producing 50 horsepower and 42.8 lb-ft of torque. Selectable 2WD/4WD and Kawasaki’s variable front differential lock remain standard across the board. The difference between trims comes down entirely to equipment and handling hardware, not horsepower.

Choosing Your Trim: Base, EPS, or SE EPS?

Deciding on a Brute Force 750 comes down to how hard you plan to work the machine and how much time you spend in the saddle.

Brute Force 750 ($12,399 MSRP): Delivers the full 749cc V-twin, TFT display, LED lighting, and push-button 4WD with variable front diff lock. It is built for riders with straightforward property chores or tight budgets who do not need electronic assist.
Brute Force 750 EPS ($14,099 MSRP): Adds speed-sensitive electric power steering. The system constantly reads speed and torque inputs, delivering maximum steering assistance at crawling speeds and firming up as you pick up pace on open trails. It also dampens harsh kickback when front tires strike ruts, rocks, or buried roots. For long days cutting wood or hauling gear, your shoulders will feel the difference immediately.
Brute Force 750 SE EPS ($16,399 MSRP): Adds a factory-installed 2,500 lb winch with synthetic rope, a rugged front brush guard, protective hand guards, and exclusive Special Edition styling.

Shop Tip: The SE EPS costs $2,300 more than the standard EPS. If you plan to install a quality winch and brush guard on day one anyway, the factory SE package saves you time and usually beats the total cost of parts and labour combined. If you rarely venture into terrain where a winch is mandatory, stick with the standard EPS.

Compact and Youth Options: Brute Force 300 & KSF50

Brute Force 300 for Light Chores

The compact member of the lineup features sharp styling, LED headlights, and an automatic transmission. It handles light yard maintenance, utility work, and quick trips to the camp with ease. While it does not have the towing muscle of the 750 V-twin, it is easy to trailer, takes up minimal garage space, and keeps ownership costs low.

KSF50 for Young Riders

The KSF50 features an easy-to-manage 49.5cc four-stroke engine paired with a fully automatic CVT. Built with parent-friendly throttle limits, it is designed for riders ages 6 and older under direct adult supervision.

Note on New Brunswick regulations: Provincial law requires riders between 6 and 13 to operate age-appropriate machines strictly on designated closed courses. All full-size ATVs over 90cc—including every Brute Force model—are legally restricted to operators 16 and older.

Real-World Use Around Northern New Brunswick

Around Chaleur, an ATV is a work tool first and a weekend toy second. Here is how the lineup matches up with our seasons:

Hauling Firewood: The Brute Force 750 is rated to tow up to 1,250 lb (567 kg). Combined with the variable front diff lock, it pulls loaded wood trailers through saturated spring ground without breaking traction.
Reaching the Hunting Camp: Camp roads in Northern NB wash out quickly after heavy fall rains. A machine with standard EPS and an integrated winch gives you the control and insurance needed when hauling gear deep into the woods.
Riding the Managed Trails: Our region is home to one of the most active trail networks in New Brunswick, maintained by local clubs under QuadNB. Any 750 handles these trail systems effortlessly. Just ensure your annual QuadNB trail permit is current before heading out.
Winter Driveway Clearing: Paired with an aftermarket plow kit, the 750 turns heavy snowfalls into a quick morning chore. Electric power steering is especially useful here, eliminating the arm strain of tight, back-and-forth maneuvering at low speeds.

The Actual Out-the-Door Math

Hidden dealership fees cause unnecessary headaches. At Kerr's, freight and PDI are published clearly so you know the exact baseline before arriving at the showroom. Here is the exact pricing breakdown on a 2027 Brute Force 750 EPS:

Base Listed Price: $14,099.00
Freight: $695.00
PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection): $400.00
Subtotal Before Tax: $15,194.00
New Brunswick HST (15%): $2,279.10
Total Before Registration: $17,473.10

Most local buyers prefer weekly or bi-weekly financing rather than paying upfront. On approved credit, any model can be structured into clear weekly payments matching official Kawasaki program terms.

Trading in your current quad can significantly lower that balance. To get the most accurate appraisal, snap a few clear photos, take note of the hour meter reading, and gather your past service records before stopping by.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Brute Force 750 strong enough to haul a full firewood trailer?

Yes. The 750 has a 1,250 lb towing capacity and generates 42.8 lb-ft of torque low in the rev range, allowing it to pull heavy loads smoothly without jerky clutch engagement.

Do I really need electronic power steering (EPS)?

If your quad only leaves the shed for brief utility chores around the lawn, you can get away with the base model. However, if you plan to work in the woods, push snow, or ride rocky trails for hours at a time, the $1,700 step up to EPS is well worth the investment to eliminate arm pump and handlebar snap.

How does the Brute Force 750 compare to the Suzuki KingQuad 750?

Both are proven utility workhorses, and our shop carries both. The main mechanical difference lies in the engine configuration: the Kawasaki runs a 749cc V-twin, while the KingQuad 750AXi uses a 722cc single-cylinder motor. The V-twin delivers an exceptionally smooth exhaust note and immediate low-end roll-on punch, while the single-cylinder offers a slightly narrower profile. Sitting on both machines in the showroom is the best way to determine your preference.

Do I need a trail permit to ride in New Brunswick?

Yes. To legally access managed club trails across the province, you must display a valid QuadNB trail permit on your machine. Permit fees directly fund local club trail grooming, bridge repairs, and trail signage.
