Go Play

The KLX230 S dual-sport motorcycle is powered by a 233 cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single, tuned for low- to mid-range power.

Smooth, Reliable, Durable

A compact and lightweight engine delivers easy-to-use low- to mid-range torque ideal for trail riding. New ECU settings result in improved high-altitude power delivery and crisper throttle response in cold temperatures.A smooth-shifting six-speed transmission covers a wide range of street-riding conditions and allows for more comfortable cruising on the highway, as well as trail riding.

Hassle-Free Adventure

Electric start and fuel injection ensure hassle-free performance regardless of altitude or air temperature, while contributing to clean emissions.

Built Tough

The engine and chassis were designed together to make the KLX230 as agile and lightweight as possible.

Platform with Purpose

The high-tensile perimeter frame, short wheelbase and a low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding for a wide range of riders and environments. The KLX230 S offers an accessible seat height of 830 mm.

Road and Trail
