STEADY POWERGo Play
The KLX230 dual-purpose motorcycle is powered by a 233cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single, tuned for low- to mid-range power.
The high-tensile perimeter frame, short wheelbase and a low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding for a wide range of riders and environments. The KLX230 offers a seat height of 885 mm (34.8 in) vs. 830 mm (32.7 in) on the KLX230 S.
A combination of form and function, the frame, seat, and tank were designed to give riders an easier grip, offering superior chassis control. Seams between the shrouds, seat, and side covers are flush, which facilitates freedom of movement when changing riding positions.

Long-travel suspension, featuring a ø37 mm front fork and Uni Trak single-shock rear suspension, soaks up bumps—contributing to ride comfort and control on bumpy streets and rough trails.
Petal disc brakes add even more sure stopping power, with a twin-piston caliper gripping a ø265 mm* disc in the front and a ø220 mm disc in the rear. Available with Kawasaki’s first dual-purpose ABS.
Full-size aluminum wheels measuring 21” in the front and 18” in the rear allow for confident riding and handling over varied terrain.

The KLX230 is available with an innovative dual-sport calibrated ABS system jointly developed with Bosch. Designed to assist stopping performance on low-friction surfaces, this ABS system will offer reassurance to both new and experienced riders. Switch-operated rear brake ABS cancel function facilitates more active off-road sport riding performance.
A new, compact LED headlight provides excellent illumination at night or in low light conditions. A new headlight cowling and new front fender contribute to sportier, more aggressive styling.
An all-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information care of a large, easy-to-read LCD display screen. Features include: speedometer, odometer, dual-trip meters, fuel gauge, clock, and indicator lamps.

DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITYTake on the Street and Dirt
Designed for the trails and tuned for on-road versatility, let the KLX230 take you to new heights with on and off-road capability.
The KLX230 S features a shorter, two-stage front suspension with 158 mm (6.2 in) of travel. The front fork is shorter, and works with shorter dual-stage springs with a firmer spring rate. Combined with reduced rear suspension travel (168 mm (6.6 in)), this helps lower the seat height by 55 mm (2.2 inches).
