GET OUT AND PLAY

Kawasaki's KLX230 is purpose-built for serious dirt fun, with both its engine and frame designed from the beginning with trail riding in mind. The all-new 233cc 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 framer was designed to offer the handing 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) - equipped with Kawasaki's first dual-purpose ABS - is powerful, light, and manoeuvrable, making it an ideal partner for attacking the trails.

Providing a light, manoeuvrable package was a key consideration. Designing the simple air-cooled engine concurrently with the easy handling perimeter frame helped keep the KLX230 compact, while the balance between the engine and frame results in performance that can be enjoyed by a wide range of riders.

CAPABLE OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE

In addition to a powerful engine and compact frame that were both designed with trail riding in mind, the KLX230's large-diameter wheels, long-travel suspension and ample ground clearance all contribute to its plentiful off-road capability. Front & Rear disk brakes provide great stopping power when riding on the trail.

ALL NEW ENGINE: 233CC SINGLE

Long-stroke engine offers robust low-mid range torque, pulling strongly and facilitating low-speed control. Fuel injection delivers precise response, further facilitating control. Overall the new engine's ample power is complemented by smooth torque that creates an easy-to-handle character and delivers a linear acceleration. Further, the simple construction afforded by air-cooling makes it ideal for trail riding.

COMPACT PERIMETER FRAME

Designed from the start for off-road riding use, the all-new 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.

Designing the engine and frame together allowed greater design freedom. Great care was taken to minimise engine height, which allowed an optimal frame line to achieve the ideal rigidity balance as well as keeping the seat height at an appropriate level. The relatively short wheelbase contributes to the bike's easy, manoeuvrable handling - another welcome feature for new and intermediate riders.

ELECTRIC START

Together with fuel injection, electric start offers hassle-free starting at the push of a button.

LONG-TRAVEL SUSPENSION

Long-travel suspension front and rear (220mm / 223 mm) greatly contributes to the KLX230's ability to soak up bumps on the trail. And with 265mm of ground clearance, riders are more easily able to clear obstructions they encounter.

KX INSPIRED BODYWORK

Styling cues taken from Kawasaki's KX motocross machines give the bike an agile, aggressive image to match its trail-riding prowess.

KAWASAKI'S FIRST DUAL-PURPOSE ABS

The revolutionary new system, jointly developed with Bosch, was carefully tuned to enable both on-road and off-road use. Designed to assist riders to stop effectively in a short distance in either situation, dual-purpose ABS offers additional reassurance to new an intermediate rider when riding on a low-friction surface.

SIMPLE, RELIABLE, DURABLE ENGINE DESIGN

Choosing air-cooling and a simple SOHC 2-valve design for the engine afforded numerous benefits. Air-cooled engines require fewer parts than their liquid-cooled counterparts, so can greatly contribute to a lighter, more compact chassis. A simple SOHC single-cylinder configuration offers an easy-to-use engine character that lends itself to trail riding, while also ensuring the necessary reliability and durability.

LARGE-DIAMETER 21"/18" WHEELS

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.

SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION

Smooth-shifting six-speed transmission offers a gear for every situation, and is particularly effective when riding on long straights.
