Kawasaki KLX230R S Specifications

When the road is challenging, the new KLX230R is ready with longer wheel travel and ample ground clearance. Thicker seat cushioning makes bumpy trails a pleasure to ride, while the great performance of the tried-and-true engine has been augmented with a balancer for an even more enjoyable and useful offroad machine, and a larger fuel tank means more time on the trail between fill-ups.

The handlebars are 25 mm further forward than the previous model’s to match the lower seat height, offering the rider excellent control, which translates to improved handling when cornering. The footpegs are 9 mm further to the rear to achieve a riding position with added control.

he KLX230R’s updated engine offers more low- to midrange torque for low-speed control, resulting in a rider-friendly engine character and linear acceleration. This combined with the low-speed feeling makes this play bike even more fun than before.

A 7.6 litre fuel tank adds more range and allows longer intervals between refueling for more fun riding time. The fuel tank also features a key-operated tank cap.

Ample wheel travel is available at the at the front and rear thanks to an ideally-suited suspension, while large diameter aluminium wheels, measuring 21” at the front and 18” at the rear efficiently navigate trails, the combination of which greatly contributes to trail-riding performance.

The KLX230R’s newly designed seat has 6 mm thicker urethane for a more comfortable ride, while retaining a flat silhouette that offers the rider freedom of movement, resulting in a very comfortable yet highly functional seat for off-road riding.
