The KLX230R recreational off-road motorcycle is powered by a 233 cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single, tuned for low-mid range power.
Designing the engine and chassis at the same time was key to making the KLX230R play bike as agile, balanced and reliable as possible, appealing to new riders and fun for experienced riders.
Designed from the ground up for dirt fun. That’s why the KLX230R off-road motorcycle features long-travel suspension, front and rear disc brakes and full-size wheels.
