The new 292 cm³ liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine is fuel-injected, delivering crisp response, a quick-revving nature and strong pulling power. Precise control and a strong low-end torque enable riders to tackle tough terrain, while the powerful top-end lets riders keep the KLX300R humming across fast trail sections. Electric start is a welcome feature, ensuring easy access to off-road fun.
Boasting a lineage that can be traced back to Kawasaki’s enduroracers, this tough and reliable play bike is more than up to the task of a day on the trails. Chassis components selected for their off-road riding potential are complemented by settings chosen to deliver light handling that can be enjoyed by a wide range of riders.
