CAPABLE OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE

Take on the Trails

When the road is challenging, the new KLX230R S is ready with long wheel travel and ample ground clearance. The great performance of the tried-and-true engine has been augmented with a balancer for an even more enjoyable and useful off-road machine, and a larger fuel tank means more time on the trail between fill-ups.
