Moreover, the 233cc engine provides a thrilling ride on the road and on rough terrain. It comes with modern features such as LED lighting and an adjustable seat height, so it's sure to appeal to various types of riders. Availability details and pricing have yet to be announced.
Quick Highlights:
The Kawasaki KLX 230 was officially unveiled in India and tested locally for some time with local components on board. Bookings have now started for customers at ₹5,000. The official price announcements will be made in December, which might be before India Bike Week 2024.
2025 Kawasaki KLX 230 is styled in a minimalist form, where body panels have been kept to an absolute minimum. Additionally, this reduces the damage if you stumble during off-road rides. Other design elements that promise include a very compact headlight with a cowl around it, the mudguard mounted high, a small-sized fuel tank, and a very short tail section. Another feature of the bike is the seat height, which has been set at a height of 880mm.
It has a 233cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine with good prowess. The unit churns out 18.1bhp at 8,000rpm and 18.3Nm of torque at 6,400rpm and is equipped with a six-speed transmission. According to Kawasaki, the unit develops commendable strength in the low and mid-range. Moreover, the six-speed transmission allows it to cruise along the highway without breaking a sweat.
The bike also has a tubular steel frame, which is accompanied by a 37mm telescopic fork up front and a link-type mono-shock at the rear with adjustable preload. The brand mentions that the front suspension has 240mm of travel while the rear wheel has 250mm of travel.
The bike comes with MRF tyres on both the 18-inch rear wheel and the 21-inch front wheel. With a ground clearance of 265mm and a weight of just 139kg, it should be more manageable when out on the trail.
The 265mm disc at the front and the 220mm disc at the rear do the braking. Switchable ABS allows the rider to cut off the ABS at the rear wheel for intentional sliding during off-road riding.
Kawasaki is offering the KLX 230 a solid array of features, including a fully digital display with smartphone connectivity.
The 2025 KLX 230 will be offered in two colors: Lime Green and Battle Gray. In terms of competition, it will compete with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V.
