The 2023 Kawasaki KLX 230 is the smallest dual sport in Kawasaki’s 2023 lineup and is a versatile off-road motorcycle that offers an enjoyable riding experience for riders of all skill levels. The KLX 230 has a fuel-injected 233cc engine that provides a smooth and responsive power delivery. The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission that allows riders to easily find the right gear for any situation.

Kawasaki is known as a premier Japanese motorcycle brand and the KLX 230 continues the tradition by featuring high quality components. The front suspension is handled by a 37mm telescopic fork that offers 8.7 inches of travel, while the rear suspension is a Uni-Trak linkage system with 8.8 inches of travel. The suspension provides a comfortable ride over rough terrain and is adjustable to suit a variety of riding conditions. While the KLX 230 is tall at 34.8 inches seat height, the S version comes in at 32.7 inches to make it a bit more accessible. The trade off is you only get 6.2 inches of travel in the front and 6.6 inches in the rear.

Kawasaki is known for adding the latest technology and the KLX 230 features a digital instrument panel that displays all the necessary information, including speed, engine rpm, fuel level, and more. The motorcycle has a 2.0-gallon fuel tank that provides plenty of range for off-road adventures. The KLX 230 is equipped with a range of features that make it suitable for off-road riding including a skid plate to protect the engine and frame from rocks and other obstacles.

The 2023 Kawasaki KLX 230 starts at $4,999 USD/$5,749 CAD
