Kawaskai Teryx H2
A new level of UTV demands a new level of strength.
The H2 platform is fast, heavy, and aggressive, and the stock suspension components are already showing their limits. That’s where Kryptonite steps in.
We’re developing a full line of hard-core steering and suspension upgrades engineered specifically to fix the weak points we’re seeing on real customer machines. Our goal is simple: build components that survive what the H2 can actually dish out, not what the factory hoped it would.
Avoid Failures.
The factory H2 radius rods are already tapping out. Real owners are finding bent links, twisted tubes, and sloppy joints after only a few hard rides. Exactly like the carnage you see on the left. The H2 is heavier, faster, and hits harder than Kawasaki planned for, and the stock components simply aren’t built for that kind of load. On the right is where Kryptonite comes in: overbuilt 7075-T6 billet radius rods and heavy-duty steering components engineered to eliminate these weak points completely. No bending, no guesswork. Just real strength for riders who expect more from their machine.
Kryptonite High Clearance Radius Rod & Toe Link Kit for 2025+ Kawasaki Teryx H2
Our High Clearance Radius Rods are made from high strength 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and are designed and built in the USA. This High Clearance Radius Rod Kit will completely eliminate factory weak points as well as improving the high clearance profile for easy running in rugged uneven terrain.
Why Kryptonite?
Precision Machined From 7075-T6 Aluminum
Exceptional tensile strength with controlled flex that rebounds instead of failing, giving you a critical margin of safety on rough terrain.
Direct Bolt-On Replacement
No guesswork. No modifications. Just a stronger, better part that bolts right onto your rig with ease.
4140 Chromoly Toe Adjusters
Heat-treated toe adjusters are built to handle repeated hard hits and aggressive driving.
No Hollow Tubing Here
The Kryptonite radius rods are a solid link of aluminum. The OEM ones? Cheap welded seem tubing that is only 2mm thick... What would you rather have on your H2?
Fully Adjustable by Design.
Kryptonite H2 radius rods are fully adjustable to dial in alignment and suspension geometry with precision. Whether you’re compensating for suspension changes, correcting alignment after hard use, or fine-tuning your setup for desert or dune riding, the adjustability is built in. Locking chromoly adjusters keep settings secure under load, so once it’s set, it stays set. Even when the terrain gets rough.
Optimized High-Clearance Geometry.
Our radius rods use a high-clearance, CNC-machined profile that maximizes obstacle clearance without sacrificing strength or adjustability. This design reduces contact with rocks and trail features while maintaining proper suspension geometry through full travel.
Trail Tested, Lab Proven
Over 2x Stronger Than OEM!
Our lab testing showed the factory radius rod failed at 6,992 lbs of force, matching the disappointing real world failures. When we tested our 7075 solid aluminum links, they held up to a staggering 14,195 lbs of force. Thats 102% Stronger!
Billet Sway Bar Links
A direct bolt-on upgrade designed to replace the weak factory links with a significantly stronger, more rigid solution that improves stability, tracking, and overall control when driving aggressively or through rough terrain. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and equipped with 5/8” chromoly Teflon-lined rod ends, these links deliver smoother articulation, reduced deflection, and longer service life while providing more precise weight transfer and predictable handling. Finished in a durable hard-anodized coating for corrosion resistance and trail abuse, they install using factory hardware with no cutting or modification required and are proudly made in the USA .
Heavy Duty Tie Rods - coming soon
The weak radius rods were only the beginning. Kawasaki also equipped the H2 with undersized tie rods that simply aren't built for the weight, speed, and leverage this platform creates.
Our Kryptonite Death Grip Series tie rod kit fixes that problem permanently. Born from the heavy-duty diesel truck market, these oversized rod ends are proven to survive far more abuse than the H2 can dish out. The tie rod body is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum in our signature hex profile, delivering maximum strength with precise steering feel. This is a true bolt-on upgrade engineered to outlast the machine itself.

- HD tie rods (sharpens steering + prevents bending)
- Adjustable Toe links
These upgrades are considered “must-do” if you ride aggressively or plan to add bigger tires.
The H2 is heavier, faster, and makes far more power than typical UTVs. Stock rods aren’t designed for the supercharged torque or the leverage created by long-travel suspension + 33” tires. Hard hits, whoops, and uneven landings can bend or snap factory links.
The H2 makes 250 horsepower thanks to its supercharged 999cc inline-four — currently the highest stock power output of any side-by-side.
The H2 is built for high-speed desert and dune performance. The long travel suspension (23–24”), wide stance, and 250hp engine give it excellent stability and power delivery. Its overall size makes it less than ideal for tight trail riding but it can be done. But this aggressive riding is also why stock suspension components fail.
Real-world test show speeds over 100 mph, depending on terrain and rider weight. Most stock UTV components aren't engineered for those speeds.
Front: ~23.2 inches
Rear: ~24.0 inches
This long travel suspension is amazing for comfort and speed, but it increases stress on the radius rods and rear suspension components.
Yes — but bigger tires increase leverage on factory rods, ball joints, and toe links. If you move to 35s or more aggressive 33s, strengthening the steering and suspension is strongly recommended.
For these parts, yield strength—not ultimate break strength—is the priority. Yield strength determines how much load a component can take without permanently bending and throwing off alignment.
7075-T6 aluminum offers higher yield strength at the same diameter than typical steel or chromoly, meaning it can absorb heavy impacts and loads while staying within its elastic range. In real-world abuse, that translates to a part that flexes and returns to shape, rather than taking a set.
At the same time, 7075 allows significantly more elastic deflection before yielding than steel. That extra elastic range is what lets the part survive hard hits and keep you moving instead of ending the ride. You get strength where it matters, without brittle failure.
Another key benefit of 7075 aluminum is corrosion resistance. Unlike steel or chromoly, aluminum does not rust, making it far more tolerant of mud, moisture, road salt, and wash cycles over time. With proper surface treatment or coating, 7075 maintains its strength and appearance without the risk of hidden corrosion that can weaken steel components from the inside out.
The final advantage is weight. 7075 delivers this yield performance at a fraction of the weight of steel or chromoly, reducing unsprung mass and lowering stress on mounting points and surrounding components.
Bottom line:
Steel and chromoly can win on ultimate “break” strength and stiffness, but 7075 aluminum wins where it counts for this application—high yield strength, controlled flex, and lower weight, resulting in a component that resists permanent deformation and performs better under real-world impacts.
