India Kawasaki Motors is going all in for trail junkies, launching the MY26 KLX230R S at an aggressive ₹1,94,000 (ex-showroom). This is a no-nonsense, pure off-road only weapon, primed for throttle-happy riders who want adrenaline and control without the big price tag.
Trail-Tuned Power, Simple Fun
At its core is a 233cc air-cooled, fuel-injected SOHC single-cylinder engine, tuned for meaty low- and mid-range torque—right where you want it for climbing, crawling, and powering out of rough sections. With 19 PS at 7,800rpm and 19.1 Nm at 6,200rpm, plus a 6-speed transmission and electric start, this KLX delivers all the punch you need for technical terrain, in a package that’s reliable and easy to maintain.
Lightweight & Tough, Built for Trails
The KLX230R S is all about trail-readiness. The high-tensile steel perimeter frame keeps it rigid yet featherweight at just 129kg curb. It’s kitted out with long-travel suspension—a 37mm telescopic front fork with 220mm travel and a Uni-Trak rear shock with 223mm travel. Combined with a high 270mm ground clearance and a race-category 900mm seat height, this bike is set for whatever the dirt throws at you.
Grip and Control Where It Matters
This Kawasaki runs on motocross-style 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, loaded up with knobby competition-oriented tyres for max traction in mud, sand, and gravel. Braking duties are handled by a 240mm petal disc up front and 220mm at the rear, tuned to resist heat and deliver consistent stopping when you’re going hard.
Race-Bred Looks, No-Nonsense Details
Design? Think pure KX motocross inspiration—race-style number plate in front, flat seat, and minimalist bodywork for maximum freedom of movement. Every panel is flush and sleek, so you’re never snagged or held back. It’s available proudly in Kawasaki’s iconic Lime Green—a proper shoutout to the brand’s dirt-racing heritage.
Why S? More Accessible Without Compromise
The ‘S’ in KLX230R S means a slightly accessible seat height and a focus on approachable handling, so you don’t need pro-level legs to get the full off-road experience. At 129kg curb, it’s light, flickable, and confidence-inspiring for both newbies and veterans on the trails.
Accessories & Academy
Extras? You can kit out the KLX230R S with essentials like black rims, frame covers, skid plate, and chain guides. Plus, Kawasaki’s Green Academy in Pune, Bangalore, and Mumbai teaches everything from basic skills to advanced riding, so new owners can truly get the most from their bike.
