Engineered by Suzuki for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2016 Suzuki KingQuad 500AXi relies on a 493 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 87.5 x 82.0 mm (3.4 x 3.2 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KingQuad 500AXi measures 302 kg (666 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 920 mm (36.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
