The all-digital instrument panel offers at a glance information care of a largedisplay easy-toread LCD screen. Features include a speedometer,  odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, clock and indicator lamps.

Designed from the start for dirt-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.

The KLX230 features an all-new Fuel-injected 233 cm3 air-cooled 4-stroke Single 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 maneuverability and light weight, and the simple construction afforded by air-cooling makes it ideal for trail riding.

The tool box located in a lockable compartment on the inside of the left side cover features everything necessary for quick, on-the-spot maintenance jobs. One-key system means that the side cover panel is conveniently unlocked with the ignition key.

With a capacity of 7.5 litres, the fuel tank contributes to the bikes’ long range, enabling riders to enjoy hours of trail riding on a single tank.

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. While the long-travel suspension greatly contributes to the KLX230’s ability to soak up bumps when attacking the trail. And with 265 mm of ground clearance, riders are more easily able to clear obstructions they encounter.

The revolutionary new ABS system, jointly developed with Bosch, was carefully tuned to enable both on-road and offroad use. Designed to assist riders to stop effectively in a short distance in either situation, dual-purpose ABS offers additional reassurance to new and intermediate riders when riding on a low-friction surface. Petal disc brakes front and rear provide sure stopping power.

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.
