There’s no denying that Kawasaki’s brand-new supercharged Teryx4/5 H2 side-by-side is a monster. It is, after all, the most powerful side-by-side on sale today with 250 rampaging ponies doing their damndest to escape their confines and scream a supercharged whinny at everyone and everything within earshot. It broke RideApart’s Kyra Sacdalan’s brain when she drove/tamed the foul beast earlier this year.
The name ‘Teryx4/5’ makes a lot of sense. This is a feral prehistoric animal brought to life via modern science. But finding a way to balance the ability that you, I, or anyone with a driver’s license could hop into the Teryx4/5 H2 and go out for a rip without ending up as extinct as its namesake is a tall order. And building something durable enough to shred the dunes, while having all the attributes that put it leagues ahead of its competition, is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
