STEADY POWERGo Play
The KLX®230 dual-purpose motorcycle is powered by a 223cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single, tuned for low-mid range power.
All-new compact perimeter frame, short wheelbase and a low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding for a wide range of riders.
A combination of form and function, the frame, seat, and tank were designed to give riders an easier grip, offering superior chassis control. Seams between the shrouds, seat, and side covers are flush, which facilitates freedom of movement when changing riding positions.
