Kawasaki's Mule is perhaps the backbone of the UTV world, and its lineage continues to make its way through the years with the machine coming back in a wide variety of models and trims for 2025. This week, Kawasaki announced the return of the Mule Pro-FX 820, Pro-FXT 820, Pro-FXR 1000, and Pro-FXT 1000 side-by-sides for the 2025 model year.
