The 2026 Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 continues its reign as a top-tier sport side-by-side, offering a blend of robust performance and advanced capability across several specialized editions, including the standard model, the high-tech eS, the aggressive Blackout Edition, and the new-for-2026 Rock Edition. All models are powered by a potent 999cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, producing 110.0 hp and 75.2 lb-ft of torque, mated to an automatic CVT with selectable 2WD/4WD and a locking front differential. Key differentiators in the 2026 line include the eS model's Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) with FOX 2.5 Live Valve shocks and a TFT full-color display, while the new Rock Edition is specifically geared for boulder-crawling with 32-inch Maxxis Roxxzilla tires, bead-lock wheels, a broadened stance, and a WARN winch. The standard and four-seater KRX4 models for 2026 also receive updates like new Showa 2.5 piggyback shocks to enhance cabin comfort and ride quality over diverse terrain, solidifying the KRX 1000's reputation as a durable and formidable off-road machine.
