Introduction – Built to Get Dirty (In the Best Way)
If you’ve ever wanted to swap city streets for rugged trails, kicking up dust and powering through muddy forest paths, the Kawasaki KLX230R S MY26 is your green light to adventure. But make no mistake — this isn’t a road bike you can sneak onto the highway. It’s not street legal and proudly built for one thing only: dominating the off-road with control, agility, and an adrenaline rush that sticks with you long after the ride ends.
Launched at an attractive ₹1.94 lakh (ex-showroom), the KLX230R S brings Kawasaki’s proven off-road DNA to a wider audience in India. Think of it as your first serious dirt weapon — but one that’s just as happy in the hands of experienced trail riders.
Accessible Yet Aggressive
Kawasaki understands that not every rider is a 6-foot motocross pro. That’s why the KLX230R S has been given a lower 900 mm seat height compared to the standard KLX230R. Combined with a curb weight of just 129 kg, it’s easy to throw around in tight, technical sections.
The frame — a high-tensile steel perimeter unit — offers both rigidity and maneuverability, giving you the confidence to push harder without feeling overpowered.
Power You Can Use All Day
Under the bold Lime Green bodywork lies a 233cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, SOHC single-cylinder engine producing 19 PS at 7,800 rpm and 19.1 Nm at 6,200 rpm.
It’s tuned for strong low- and mid-range torque — exactly what you want when tackling steep inclines or powering out of loose corners.
Paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and an electric starter, it’s as user-friendly as it is capable. The fuel injection ensures crisp throttle response whether you’re riding in the mountains, the desert, or anywhere in between.
Suspension That Soaks It All Up
Off-road riding is all about suspension travel — and the KLX230R S delivers:
- Front: 37 mm telescopic fork with 220 mm of wheel travel
- Rear: New Uni-Trak setup with adjustable preload and 223 mm travel
This means rocks, ruts, and jumps get swallowed with ease, while still keeping the rider comfortable and in control. Ground clearance is a healthy 270 mm, so you can clear obstacles without second-guessing.
Wheels, Brakes & Grip for Real Trails
The KLX230R S runs 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels wrapped in motocross-style knobby tyres. They’re designed for maximum traction on dirt, mud, and gravel.
Stopping power comes from petal disc brakes — 240 mm up front with a twin-piston caliper, and 220 mm at the rear with a single-piston caliper. This setup ensures consistent braking even after long descents.
Styled Like a Racer
The design is straight from Kawasaki’s KX motocross playbook — number plate-style front, flat seat, minimalist bodywork, and flush seams for unrestricted movement. It’s a bike that looks fast even when parked.
Available exclusively in Kawasaki’s iconic Lime Green, it screams “race-ready” the moment you see it.
