Kawasaki’s new KLX230 was purpose-built for serious dirt fun, with both its engine and frame designed from the beginning with trail riding in mind. The all-new 233 cm3 air-cooled, 4-stroke Single engine delivers ample low-mid range torque, and its simple construction makes it ideal for trail runs. The all-new compact perimeter frame was designed to offer the handling stability needed for confident trail riding. KX inspiration can be found in the slim ergonomics and aggressive styling. The new, highly capable dual purpose machine (with 21”/18” wheels) – available with or without Kawasaki’s first dual-purpose ABS – is powerful, light, and manoeuvrable, making it an ideal partner for attacking the trails.
The KLX230 features an all-new engine. Significant power tailored for trail riding is complemented by ample, smooth torque that creates an easy-to-handle character and delivers linear acceleration. The engine is compact, contributing to the bike’s easy manoeuvrability and light weight, and the simple construction afforded by air-cooling makes it ideal for trail riding.
Designed from the start for dirt-riding use, the all-new high-tensile steel perimeter frame offers the handling stability needed for confident trail riding. Extensive feedback from Kawasaki test riders helped achieve the highly accommodating balance between engine and frame that enables a wide range of riders to enjoy the KLX230.
Large-diameter aluminium wheels, measuring 21” at the front and 18” at the rear, efficiently overcome obstacles encountered on trails, greatly contributing to trail-riding performance.
Brightness was a priority when designing the KLX230’s headlamp. The large-size 60/55 W lamp offers excellent illumination for riding at night or on covered trails.
All-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information care of a large-display easy-to-read LCD screen. Features include a speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, clock and indicator lamps.
