The 2012 Brute Force 300 is powered by a 271cc water-cooled engine, compared to the air-cooled 228cc Bayou mill. A Keihin CVK32 carburetor provides the fuel mixture which is squeezed into an 11.0:1 compression ratio inside the single cylinder. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) handles the power via centrifugal clutch which eliminates the need for a foot-operated shift lever. The double wishbone suspension up front and the swingarm rear end mount to a steel tube frame. The Five-way preload adjustable shocks are mounted to the front corners and one on the swingarm. A 45.8-inch wheelbase combined with 22-inch Maxxis tires give the Brute Force a 6.1-inch ground clearance
