INNOVATIONS engine provides more than 17 horsepower , while Electric Fuel Injection ( EFI ) makes starting the engine in cold weather easier and gives instant power with greater throttle control . Equipped with a Variable Hydrostatic Transmission ( VHT ) that provides exceptional performance on any terrain with smooth and powerful acceleration , low-speed driving is enhanced through smooth throttle control , great traction and increased maneuverability . Additionally , dynamic braking allows for one-pedal operation , making jobs that require frequent stops easier .
Regardless of experience behind the wheel of a utility vehicle , ease of operation is made possible through the VHT ’ s one-pedal operation , smooth acceleration and engine braking , leading to driver confidence . A large cargo bed opening provides easy access to components for quick and simple maintenance , and because the VHT does not have a belt , there is no worry about having to replace this traditionally difficult-to-fix and easy-to-break item . Key areas of the vehicle , like the underbody , and beneath the cargo box and operator ’ s station are protected , and the radiator features a screen that prevents mud and grass form sticking to it . And a heavy-duty cargo bed with 441 lbs . of cargo capacity and a towing capacity of 1,168 lbs . means the RTV520 is ready to tackle the toughest jobs .
At 54.7 inches wide and 74 inches tall , the RTV520 ’ s narrow stance allows it to easily travel the slimmest passageways and fit through the tightest spaces . With a tight turning diameter of just 21.7 feet , the RTV520 is able to access areas where bigger utility vehicles simply can ’ t go . An improved suspension system features a 5-link rear system that helps prevent the vehicle from bottoming out and improves rider comfort , even in the roughest terrain . A redesigned seat with 30 percent softer material provides more comfort during long rides .
