2026 Kawasaki KLX230R

The full-size fun of the KLX230R trail bike means it’s time to Get Out and Play. Take on terrain with nimble handling and plenty of power, while kicking up some serious dirt along the way. Long-travel suspension paired with improved low-speed control gives this bike a sporty feel that stands out among the rest. Finished with styling inspired by the KX lineup, the highly capable, lightweight package of the KLX230R brings a heavy dose of fun to every off-road ride.

Features may include:

• Take on the Trails

When the road is challenging, the new KLX230R is ready with longer wheel travel and ample ground clearance. Thicker seat cushioning makes bumpy trails a pleasure to ride, while the great performance of the tried-and-true engine has been augmented with a balancer for an even more enjoyable and useful off-road machine, and a larger fuel tank means more time on the trail between fill-ups.

• Off-Road Enjoyment for a Wide Range of Riders

Providing a light, manoeuvrable package has been a key consideration since the KLX230R was originally designed. Its simple air-cooled engine and easy handling perimeter frame contribute to a compact package, while the balance between the engine and frame results in performance that can be enjoyed by a wide range of riders.
