 ENGINE DESIGN

Smooth, Reliable, Durable

Compact and lightweight engine delivers easy-to-use low- to mid-range torque while the simple yet capable two-valve SOHC low-maintenance design makes it ideal for trail riding.

 ELECTRIC START

Hassle-Free Adventure

Electric start and fuel injection ensure hassle-free starting regardless of altitude or air temperature, while contributing to clean emissions.

RUGGED CHASSIS

Built Tough

Designing the engine and chassis at the same time was key to making the KLX230R play bike as agile, balanced and reliable as possible, appealing to new riders and fun for experienced riders.

PERIMETER FRAME

Platform with Purpose

The compact perimeter frame, short wheelbase and a low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding. The KLX230R offers a seat height of 925 mm (36.4 in) vs. 900 mm (35.4 in) on the KLX230R S.

KX-INSPIRED ERGONOMICS

Designed For The Trail

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.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY

Take on the Trails

Designed from the ground up for dirt fun. That’s why the KLX230R off-road motorcycle features long-travel suspension, front and rear disc brakes and full-size wheels.

OFF-ROAD SUSPENSION

Confident Trail Riding

Long travel suspension, featuring a ø37 mm front fork and Uni Trak single-shock rear suspension, soak up bumps with ease, contributing to rider comfort and control on rugged terrain.

DISC BRAKES

Strong Braking Power

KX-style petal disc brakes front and rear add even more sure stopping power, with a twin-piston caliper gripping a ø240 mm disc in the front and a single piston caliper gripping the ø220 mm disc in the rear.

FULL-SIZE WHEELS

Big-Time Fun

Full-size aluminum wheels measuring 21” in the front and 18” in the rear efficiently overcome trail obstacles for confident riding and handling off-road.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Optimum Fun

A 6.6-litre fuel capacity means long-range fun on the trails while the aluminum swingarm, plastic fuel tank and streamlined bodywork keep weight as low as possible.
