The perfect combination of power and strength, the Lightning Z blends our highest horsepower-to-weight ratio with the legendary ruggedness found in every Bad Boy mower. From our liquid-cooled Kawasaki to the Big Block Vanguard—both incorporating our patented EZ-Ride system—every Lightning is built for speed and power cutting. Combined with our direct-to-dealer pricing, no other mower in its class even cuts close.
