A newly developed LED headlamp has been added, which achieves both remarkable brightness and a thin design reminiscent ofa full-fledged enduromotorcycle.
Newly developed full LCD digital instrumentation with excellent visibility and compact design has been added.
The front wheel travel range has been increased to enhance handling capability while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability and high rigidity. For the shock absorbers, the specifications of the dust seals have been changed to prevent dust penetration.
While inheriting the KLX’s design concept of "Aggressive" and "Powerful," the new models pursue a more powerful design with incorporating the latest trends of sharp and sporty styling. A flat linefrom the shroud to the tail lamp aims for a racy design inspired bythe KX series. “Aggressive” is expressed through a dynamic design that evokes the model’s high kinematic performance, and “Powerful” is embodied with a massive design that lifts rider’s mood. For the off-road models, the colour variation range has been expanded while maintaining the current aggressive graphics design theme, whereas the motard models have graphics further accentuating the sporty modern impression.
