The Kawasaki KLX230 is a nimble dual-sport motorcycle engineered for both on-road riding and trail adventures. Powered by a 233 cc air-cooled, SOHC single-cylinder engine with fuel injection and electric start, it delivers a smooth and responsive ride, ideal for low- to mid-range torque needs—perfect for trail control and everyday riding.
Built around a high-tensile steel perimeter frame, the KLX230 rides on full-size 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, paired with long-travel suspension—typically a 37 mm fork and Uni-Trak rear setup—which absorbs bumps effortlessly. A dual-purpose ABS system with an on/off switch (on certain models) provides safety without compromising off-road capability.
Standing tall with a ground clearance of around 210–265 mm and a seat height between 830–885 mm—depending on the variant—the KLX230 remains lightweight at approximately 132–135 kg, making it accessible yet trail-ready.
Additional rider-focused features include a 7.5-liter fuel tank, a clear LCD instrument panel, LED lighting on newer versions, and even smartphone connectivity through the RIDEOLOGY app on select models.
