Kawasaki KLX 230 has been officially launched in India, priced at Rs 3.30 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the dual-purpose motorcycle, which were opened after its unveiling in October, are now live. Customers who pre-booked the bike can expect deliveries to begin in January 2025. The KLX 230 has generated a lot of excitement, having been spotted several times undergoing tests prior to its India debut.
Kawasaki KLX 230, the brand’s first road-legal dual-sport motorcycle in India, combines rugged off-road capabilities with essential road-legal features. It boasts a slim, tall profile with long-travel suspension and wire-spoke wheels, designed to handle diverse terrains. For urban legality, the bike comes with an LED headlamp, turn indicators, rear-view mirrors, a saree guard, and dual-purpose tyres. Available in two vibrant colour options, Lime Green and Battle Grey, the KLX 230 is built for riders who seek both adventure and practicality.
Kawasaki KLX 230 is designed for versatile riding, featuring a high-tensile steel perimeter frame and robust suspension system with 240mm travel at the front and 250mm at the rear. The motorcycle is equipped with a 37mm telescopic fork in the front and a Uni-Trak-linked mono-shock at the rear, ensuring excellent handling across varied terrains. It comes with wire-spoke wheels sized 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear, fitted with dual-purpose tyres.
The KLX 230 also boasts a dual-channel ABS system with disc brakes at both ends for superior stopping power. With a ground clearance of 265mm, a seat height of 880mm, and a kerb weight of 139kg, it strikes a balance between agility and stability. The 7.6-litre fuel tank ensures that riders can enjoy longer journeys without frequent refuelling.
