The KLX230 SE, with original colour and graphics, inverted front fork and a number of accessories fit standard, is also available. The 2024 model offers longer rear wheel travel and a thicker seat for increased comfort, while also offering a lower seat height.
In addition to the inverted front fork, numerous accessories are fit standard, including hand covers, a fat-type handlebar, black alumite rims, frame covers and a skid plate.
Thanks to the new rear sub-frame, the rear wheel travel could be increased to 250 mm, while also offering a thicker seat and a lower (875 mm) seat height.
Kawasaki’s ABS system for dual-purpose use, specially developed for this model, was carefully tuned to enable both on-road and off-road use. Designed to assist riders to stop effectively in a short distance, the ABS offers additional reassurance to riders when riding on a low-friction surface. Riders can opt to disable the ABS function according to their preference when riding off-road.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking performance by preventing wheel lock during braking.
ERGO-FIT is an interface system that allows a wide range of riders to feel at one with their machine.
Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.
