Bookings for the Kawasaki KLX 230 have begun at ₹5,000, but the final price announcement is expected in December 2024.

Kawasaki KLX 230 Design and Competition

The KLX 230 sports a minimalistic yet purposeful design aimed at reducing damage during off-road riding. It features a small headlight with a cowl, a high-set mudguard, a small fuel tank, and a stubby tail. With a seat height of 880mm, the bike is built for adventure and rugged use. The KLX 230 will be available in two colour options: Lime Green and Battle Gray. It will compete with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V in the Indian market.

Kawasaki KLX 230 Engine Specifications

The KLX 230 is powered by a 233cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 18.1bhp at 8,000rpm and 18.3Nm at 6,400rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox, which Kawasaki claims ensures a strong low and mid-range grunt, while also making it easier to cruise on highways. The bike has a tubular steel frame, a 37mm telescopic fork at the front, and a link-type mono-shock at the rear with adjustable preload.

In addition, it features 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, both equipped with MRF tires. The KLX 230 boasts a generous 265mm ground clearance and a lightweight body, tipping the scales at 139kg, making it highly manoeuvrable for off-road use. Braking is managed by a 265mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc, with switchable ABS for more control during off-road rides.

Additionally, the KLX 230 comes equipped with a fully digital display and smartphone connectivity, adding a modern touch to its rugged appeal.
