NOTHING'S BUILT LIKE A KINGQUAD
The KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering is not just a new ATV, it’s a new KingQuad ATV. Suzuki, the inventor of the 4-wheel ATV, took the world’s best sports-utility quad and made it better and more capable than ever. The new edgy and dynamic bodywork surrounds an impressive list of updates to the KingQuad. The KingQuad’s chassis, based around a stronger new frame, helps this ATV tackle just about any riding terrain while being able to help you with any chore thanks to a boosted towing capacity of 1332 pounds. Steering a KingQuad has never been easier with a new, higher output Electronic Power Steering system and recalibrated front end geometry. The fully-independent suspension is fitted with new, gas-charged shocks that are pre-load adjustable to match the spring rate to the cargo load. A new, beefier stabilizer bar with more compliant bushings helps control chassis movement while the 25-inch Carlisle tires deliver excellent grip. All the other great KingQuad features and innovations are packed into each one we build in our Rome, Georgia manufacturing plant. The legacy of the iconic KingQuad has a new and exciting chapter and is ready for you to join the narrative.

Chassis Features
- To increase rider comfort, make the ATV easier to ride on any terrain and increase towing capacity, the KingQuad’s frame is new with thicker frame tubes and redesigned brackets in key areas
- The base steering characteristics are now tuned to an “under-steer” condition for reduced effort and tighter turning in tight conditions. This permits higher, more comfortable handlebars to be used
- The KingQuad’s new, advanced electric power steering system has higher capacity than ever before for significantly reduced steering effort that also damps vibration and jolts to the rider
- The bold, new bodywork features high-clearance fenders that offer great protection for the rider from flying debris. Refined panels simplify maintenance needs, such as oil level checks, fuel and air filter service
- Independent double A-arm front suspension (6.7 inches of wheel travel) includes new large diameter, gas-charged shock absorbers with 5-way spring preload adjustment
- Fully independent, A-arm/I-beam rear suspension with 7.7 inches of wheel travel includes new large diameter, gas-charged shock absorbers with 5-way spring preload adjustment
- A new, larger diameter rear stabilizer bar with more compliant bushings helps control body movement while reducing shocks to the rider
- The dual hydraulic front disc brakes have new brake pad material, fluid lines and lever to optimize braking performance
- The sealed, multi-plate rear brake system features a new foot brake lever ratio for enhanced rider control. The rear brake’s clutch-type design provides high durability, reduced unsprung weight and low maintenance
- High traction 25-inch CARLISLE tires are mounted on strong steel wheels with a durable, powder-coated matte-black finish
- Suzuki's plush T-shaped seat delivers rider mobility during spirited or difficult terrain riding
- Polyethylene skid plates provide protection with minimal resistance over rocks and rough terrain. Durable plastic guards protect the front and rear half shafts
Engine Features
- The powerful 493 cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine produces a wide powerband with strong top-end power
- Its cylinder is canted forward for a low center of gravity resulting in reduced engine height and lower seat height. The engine also features a counterbalancer shaft for smooth operation
- The compact 4-valve cylinder head has large intake valves and straight intake ports for superb cylinder charging efficiency
- A lightweight aluminum cylinder uses SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) coating for excellent heat transfer and ring sealing resulting in superb combustion chamber efficiency
- The new KingQuad easily achieves US emissions compliance, including California models that conform to the state’s stringent evaporative emissions standard (eligible for green sticker registration)
- 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
- High capacity aluminum radiator with large diameter, thermostatically controlled cooling fan provides stable engine operating temperature
Key Features
- All-new styling & bodywork design, new, higher trim levels, wide range of colors, including Solid Special White
- Increased towing capacity (up to 1322 lb.) and easier to ride on any terrain, stronger frame, new shock absorbers and stabilizer bar, refined brake, easier control via updated steering calibration & higher-capacity power steering
- Stronger and smoother acceleration, enhanced engine braking, full emissions compliance
- New fender- and handlebar-mounted lights, and new low-draw LED taillight, new LED dash is easier to read with service reminders, fender-mounted power outlet
Transmission Features
- The 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 and helps control the vehicle during steep descents
- A compact torque-sensing limited-slip front differential offers potent traction augmented by the Power Steering system. A differential-lock system provides serious four-wheel-drive traction
- Handlebar-mounted push-button controls permit easy selection between 2WD, 4WD and differential-lock 4WD
Utility/Convenience Features
- The new 35W handlebar-mounted headlight illuminates the trail in the direction you are steering the ATV. Dual 35W headlights (with high and low settings) are part of the new, distinctive KingQuad bodywork
- A new, low-draw and bright LED tail light helps make the ATV visible in dark conditions while conserving power
- A new receiver-type trailer hitch mount makes it easy to select the type of equipment you want to move with the KingQuad’s higher towing capacity (up to 1322 lb.)
- Winch-ready mounts and wire conduit make winch installation simple
- A new, fully redesigned multi-function instrument panel has improved appearance and visibility and provides service reminders based on running time or mileage. The instrumentation includes LCD readouts for speedometer, odometer, twin tripmeter, hour meter, clock, fuel level, driving range and drive mode. LED indicators for high, low, neutral, reverse and 2WD/4WD and differential-locked 4WD. LED cautions for fuel injection and engine temperature
- High-output, 3-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 large 4.6 gallon (17.5 L) fuel tank is positioned for a low center of gravity. It includes a vacuum-operated petcock and a ratchet-style filler cap (which prevents overtightening so it can be easily unscrewed for refilling)
- A new, large 4.0 liter storage compartment is centrally added to the rear of the ATV adjacent to the existing 4.0 liter left-side compartment to increase cargo capacity. The 2.8 liter water resistant front storage compartment includes an easy access screw-on cap
- The rugged steel-tube cargo racks have wrinkle paint finish for durability and scratch resistance
- Full floorboards with integrated raised footpegs provide protection
- A variety of Suzuki Genuine Accessories are available, including winches, windshield, front and rear bumpers, a new quick-release snow plow, aluminum skid pans, rack extensions, utility box and more
- Minimum Operator Age: 16 Years Old
