From Lab to Landscape: The Rise of CORLEO
Revealed at Expo 2025 Osaka, CORLEO is Kawasaki’s bold vision for off-road mobility a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robotic platform equipped with adaptive hooves, designed to walk, ride, and climb across terrain where wheels fall short. Built for precision, balance, and real-world functionality, CORLEO blends strength with grace to navigate the unforgiving outdoors.
What makes CORLEO stand out isn’t just its shape or how it moves, but the idea behind it. It takes the spirit of motorcycling the freedom, the connection to the ground and fuses it with robotic precision. Each of its four articulated legs ends in an adaptive hoof built to grip everything from loose gravel to steep rock, maintaining stability while mimicking the natural flow of motion.
This isn’t just about raw mechanics. CORLEO represents Kawasaki’s long-range vision for 2050: one where technology, terrain, and instinct operate together. Instead of wheels, the platform uses impact-absorbing swing arms that adjust in real time, giving the rider a centered, forward-leaning posture even during climbs or uneven travel. It’s a concept designed not just to move over rough landscapes, but to move with them and to make the ride part of the experience, not just the transport.
