Features

MORE CAPABLE, MORE COMFORTABLE OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE

Even more ready to play

When the road is challenging, the KLX230 S is ready with longer wheel travel, and ample ground clearance. Cancellable front/rear ABS offers the option to cater to rider preference when riding off-road. The great all-around performance of the tried-and-true engine has been augmented for an even more enjoyable and useful dual-purpose machine. 

COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT, MANOEUVRABLE

Confidence-inspiring for a wide range of riders

Providing a light, manoeuvrable package has been a key consideration since the KLX230 was originally designed. Its simple air-cooled engine and easy handling perimeter frame contribute to a compact package, while the balance between the engine and frame results in performance that can be enjoyed by a wide range of riders.

KX-INSPIRED STYLING

Aggressive and Agile

Kawasaki’s new KX450 and KX250 models were the inspiration for the KLX230 S’s all-new smooth-surface bodywork and black wheel rims, all contributing to an offroad-racing inspired look aligned with Kawasaki’s famous KX race machines. A more compact LED headlight cover lends a sleek, modern look to the front end, while a two-tone seat adds a sophisticated image.

PRACTICAL FEATURES

Versatility for road and trail

All-digital instrumentation is complemented by smartphone connectivity, adding a modern touch. 7.6 litre fuel tank helps riders enjoy hours of trail riding between fill-ups. Standard passenger footpegs allow you to share the fun. And a convenient toolbox is located behind the left side cover.
